Extrended floorboards? I see lots of shifter pegs screwed together. It looks like your crash bar I see moved forward? Am I seeing things?
Yes boards are moved forward and out. 2.5" extended shifter, crash bar 1.5" forward. The shifter pegs are an experiment that I might keep. I ride with my feet on the outside and front of boards, I can now shift without moving my foot in...No more pigeon toe shifting.

I just added this swingarm bag that I made. Made out of 9 oz leather and instead of the bottom just being square flat to the ground it actually has an angle that matches the angle of the primary. Fits two bottles of wine or a 6 pack.

Dude I am already smiling. I can tell the bike is running cooler. Rode to work and back today, barely beat the thunderstorms coming home. Oil temps at the tank are at least 30° cooler than they were with the MOCO side mount cooler. I can also tell by the sound of the valve train and the way it's running that it's running cooler.

Yeah, that blanket appears to be a 50/50 mix and is ALOT cheaper
than I paid for a US Navy 100% wool. I didn't realize how
expensive wool was...

You can get just the harness from Bambams
http://bammbammscustomleather.com/oc...&product_id=79

Or just find some small youth or perhaps female belts & switch out
the buckles to something you like.

good luck,

T.

Old age, lol. Pain in my elbows and the muscles in my forearms by my elbow's got really sore a few times. That's never happened before. The apes weren't above my shoulders. But still, i feel i have more control of the bike now, so that's a plus, lol Thanks Henry

Thanks! I'll check them out.....I haven't taken the blanket out of the packaging yet....if it's cheap and poor quality, I'll order a real wool blanket....yeah, wool's not cheap....for my bike the blanket is more aesthetics than function....I'm gettin' old and sleepin' on the ground is becoming a thing of the past.....LOL....
