Pics from a ride
Just like it says "Pics from a ride" would love to see other pics of other bikes from a ride, all are welcome, I know riding season for some has ended so maybe this will sustain them until riding season starts back up, if there is already a thread like this Im sorry.
Funky old tree
This was lying at the base of the old tree
Found this bottle it was half full, anyone recognize this?
This is an old church I stop at it has a grave yard beside it, and some of the grave stones are just that stones.
Hope everyone enjoyed the pics, and please share your pics "from a ride". (Maybe they will make a sticky)

Front brake was a stock single disc, PO eliminated the other caliper by cutting the line and plugging it with a bolt, and it sucked donkeys, replaced the caliper with a Willwood unit, and disc, replaced line with a Galfer braided line and replaced MC with proper bore size for the caliper, 21" x 2.15" front rim with 90/90 Avon, rebuilt forks with 30wt oil, and removed the air ride crap, the exhaust was built by the PO and it kept breaking at its mounting bracket, so I replaced them with the shortest cheapest exhaust I could fined, inserted torque cones and made some lolly pops to go in them, according to the PO, it has SE cams, and other race goodies (His words) but I have not verified this, its got an S&S Super E, I know this, she goes, stock rear rim with Avon 140, home brew seat that hurt my a$$ made a seat pad out of one of those cushions you buy for bleachers, can ride for hours now ($11 & a little skill), rode it with the bags for about a month and it just bothered me I was not a fan of that wide a$$ end so; I ripped all the body work off cut and rattle canned the rear fender and made that little aluminium fender bib, of course when the body work came off I had to do something about that huge beastly battery, at first I modded and relocated the stock battery tray and mounted it on the primary side, never rode it like that, as i was doing all this reworking I came down with the covid, and was out of commission for about a month and had time to ponder about the battery location and it dawned on me that with the big old primary and that beastly battery on the same side of the bike probably would throw off the balance of the bike, so I ditched the stock battery and replaced it with an Antigavity 16 cell unit, and small tray, that i purposely mounted on the outside of the bike cause I love **** like that, replaced the rear shocks with the Drag Specialties premium adjustable shocks, these are the monotube units, and for $260 I'm happy with the ride, I prefer a more stiff performance suspension none of that cushy touring stuff for me, I just enjoy ripping it up out in the country, I also replaced those ugly *** floor boards with the cheapest ones I could fined (I'm just a pour SOB), on the primary side I made a side panel out of an old road sign, I did install a 6.5" Clearview windshield as the little 2" unit that was on the bike created a lot of buffeting, I built some home brew "fangs" that helped a bunch, but with the Cleirview and "fangs" I have 0 buffeting, and basically ripped every accessory off the bike, other than headlight and brake light, lastly (I think), I found a set of leather bags on ebay for $30, installed one on my bike and the other is going on my sons sportster, future plans are to lower the front end by about an inch or 2, she's bull dog'n a little, and getting a little bit wider rim on the front as that 90/90 Avon is a little on the slim side, K, Im done.
