Well I actually installed a new Michelin Commander II front tire after feeling the difference from the rear a week ago, along with new front rotor and pads. Then I purchased and mounted a new wide touring Mustang solo seat, DAM was that an improvement. Made one hell of a difference in my 1650+ mile trip to the U P of Michigan, including two nonstop rides of 500 mile straight thru's from Ohio to Grand Marais and back. I would not have made it to the bridge in one run with the factory seat.





Next expenditure, the audio Fairing,,,,, who knows then maybe a gear change and a trailer???

It's amazing what a nice set of tires can do huh? A trailer for the bike to tow or for the bike to ride on? Seems a waste with that Mustang seat. The audio fairing would be a nice touch. Make that thing sing!

The trailer would be behind the bike, would make fer more time on longer road trips.

Those are so freaking cool! I wonder how difficult one would be to build.

this one from a toolbox is one I might try, with a cooler mount on the tongue.

Thank you. It's a replica of the original I made umpteen years ago. Came out better since I've been doing the leather for a lot longer now. Didn't detail the background this time. I found that the texture gave dirt a place to hang out.

I build things for fun and I love campers. I had a motorcycle camper in mind. That toolbox deal gives me SO many ideas!
