put some new bars on dads herritage
so, everytime my dad comes in the shop he has been eye'n these bars i have on the wall... 1-1/4" "Beefy" T- Bars... so yesterday after i got out of the shop i went over to his house, pulled his old bars, put in some new poly bushings and tossed on the bars, they where a bit low, so i made some 2 inch spacers and got longer bolts to raise them up, i then internally wired them... from there his cables where a bit long, so i raced back to the shop, grabbed a set of 2 in shorter cables, and popped those on, while i was in the shop i grabbed the set of new grips i had ordered myself, and sacrifised for dad... they are now on his bike
needless to say after he came back from bustin his *** all day putting the snowmobiles in storage he was VERY Happy!
ever so slowly i am working on him, went from not wanting to do anything to his bike to now having custom powder work on his bike, bars, internal wire, bag supports, pipes, stage I upgrade, poly bushings, lyndall pads... i am working on him!
next up i got a full fairing off a touring bike, he wants that on this scoot, so i have some more fab work and stereo work... but ill make it happen for the old man!
I only had my cell (of course) ill get some good pics in the sun when i can... as long as i get the rocket done we are all going out riding sunday
*I will say, i took this sucker for a good 10 mile rip after i got them on there, these bars rock, the completely change the center of gravity on the scoot and you can really handle it well, so so nice... kind of jelous i gave them up!
the riser spacers i made up to move the bars up a bit, you can also see the internal wires, SO CLEAN
