Prepping for a ride to Montana. New Michelins, all fluids, ditched the 4 1/2" risers for 1 1/2", reinstalled the stock exhaust. 250 mile loop through the Sierras and Lake Tahoe for shake down cruise. Love the Michelins.
cool bike, seat looks good. but there is no way i'd be able to ride comfortably with the bars like that, don't care how cool it looks. if i ain't comfortable i'm not riding itl
I've tried all kinds of bars on my bikes over the years. My last 3 bikes got beach bars. I know everyone likes something different, but I've found them to be the MOST comfortable bars I've used (although set a little higher than Loonie has his, but if I had longer arms maybe that would be a good height)
I did a bit of exhaust work, I wasn't happy with the straight shots that came with the bike. They just didn't fit the style of the bike. I drew my inspiration (well, copied him exactly) from Skeezmachine.
I was looking for an old school look and when I saw his bike it was exactly what I wanted. I did my wrap just a little different than he did, my OCD wouldn't allow me to have it two different lengths. I also kept the stock exhaust mount as the passenger peg is attached to it. I made a mount that works, for now. I have a feeling that it will eventually break the mounting bolt on the exhaust. For now though, I'm just going to enjoy it.
VERY nice!!!....LOVE old school!!...Canyon Lake here, by the way.
