Rick is buried up at that shop of his...Sheese I'm a local and live 45 minutes away from his shop and cant get my Jockey done any quicker than anyone else. I even applied a bit of pressure with very poor results... "Say Mr LaBriola...Why doncha hook up a local guys shifter first so I dont miss any riding time"
His response "You keep Fvcking with me and I'll stop making these damnned things" ... "I aint got a single helper". "Making these fvckers one by one myself".
That dude is a solid old school biker. Great guy. Great product. I'll wait it out cuz' its worth it!
Post up a shot of that shiifter on yer' bike Tex? I remember looking at yer derned LSR pipe in the exhaust thread and didnt rest until I had something black and 2-1 on the way for mine as well. Best thing I did to my bike in a while was to toss them shiny *** Vance pipes. Even if my Rinehart go's kinda flat at 4800 RPM!

Seems like the bars are gonna come back just tad further which is a good thing as I'm stretched on the bike with the Bare Bones seat. When I get on the gas hard its like cliffhanger almost....My arms arent that long for a 6" guy I guess.
I'm also convinced that those new bars will not look quite right until they are sans the clutch lever apparatus and cable. Hence my upcoming Jockey shifter....
I hated to render my bike unridable by removing critical parts!. Its been sitting in the garage giving me dirty looks as it wants to go for a run....

You know that I will!!!
The offroad thing has let creaky old bones know its been a long winter off the trail. Riding fast offroad is extremely physically demanding.
I know Y'all are big on the KTM thing over there. Its a great sport.

Thought you posted a while back they were not holding up.crucifiy me man for mistaken you for some one else.Put your bars on and ride the thing for God's sake.
What's the difference between run of the mill street slammers and run of the mill creepy bars anyway?G.

Ah-So you misunderstood. Foot clutches, hand shifters and creepy bars are the thang Bro.
Mine will be done in a few weeks....Just waiting on my guy at Labriola to do his thing. Creepy bars are already here and at the powder coaters!! Note comparision between run of the mill street slammers and creepy bars? I prefer...Creepy! And levers mounted on bars are for sportbikes and offroading. I will soon be doing my clutching via the trusty old boot.
I must be on the hit list today. I think I said and I quote
How did that get construed as me stating my chrome sliders werent holding up??
I went with chrome over the powder coat as the powdercoated ones do not hold up. I think I said I'm taking my stock ones in to get them PC-ed and want to add a sloppy coating of clear to hopefully get a few good months outta em before they are shot.
I need to get out of the Train photo thread! I must not make any sense or something!

Sheese Gordon I have put almost 5000 miles on that bike in the past 4 months in the winter in Colorado? Its my daily form of transport. I ride the Dawg chit outta that bike Mang!
I aint seen a set of those creepy bars I have a bike yet. Nary a one. That qualifies em' as Creepy. And I like me some creepy.
