Is keeping a bike in your booth where you give tattoo's a good idea? Seems it isn't helping keep things sterile for the client?

I dunno, looks like a clean bike to me.

I traded my old bike for tattoo work, and he parks it in there at night. Don't give a rats butt.

The bike being in the booth has no effect on the environment being sterile. It's a big booth and the tattoo and piercing station is on the other side of the room. I've been doing tattoos for a living, in shops, for 16 years. The only thing you'll get from me is a kick *** tattoo at a fair price. Not hep or anything like that. My work area is immaculate and completely up to professional standards on cleanliness and sterilization. Besides....it's a tattoo booth....not an operating room. lol. Big differnce in the "sterile" evironment. I'm doing tattoos...not performing open heart surgery. Again...HUGE difference.

Thanks. I really like the bags a lot. I'm sure once some of the other guys here who ride see them Gary will get a few more sales out of it. I bought the bike with all the performance mods already done to it. 113 cu in, screaming eagle heads and breather, S & S carb, S & S 585 gear driven cams, Sreaming eagle II mufflers, barnett clutch. It screams that is for sure. 115 hp and 130 ft punds of trq. I'm just doing a few changes for comfort and style. I've got a badlander seat that I have on it most of the time. Then a detatchable backrest and a thick cushy seat for when the wife is with me. Just got the bags for longer trips. Still want to get the HD adjustable highway pegs and a fork brace. I think I want to raise my handle bars up a couple inches and an inch closer too. I was going to do risers and keep the stock bars but a few post on here say that riser change the angle of my speedo and make it hard to read so I may do some mini apes like the street bobs come with. I don't know yet.

Why 585 cams with a 113"? Why not 640?

Mr_natural....riser won't effect your speedo angle unless you use pullback risers. If you use tall risers they bring the bars closer because of the original angle. I have 6" risers n they bring the bars back close to an inch. But I'm going to switch to 8" risers. I'm running sportster 48 bars and together I'd like a little more height.

That's what the previous owner put in it. I didn't do any of the performance mods. I bought it with all of it already done. It was built by Jeff Flora in South Bend, Indiana.
