went with night dragons, fattened up the front to 130:


Jakewilson.com has become Ridersdomain.com. saved me $30 bucks.

Cvaria. When you get the 150 mounted on the rear can you throw a tape measure on it so I can see what the width difference is between that and a 130 please? I have the stock size night dragons. Was thinking of doing the same thing. But wasn't sure about clearance.

ordered this crap tastic bucket that some how jumped from $21 to $31 over the span of 10 minutes... shady amazon.





dafuf?



the HD LED bucket sucks. because there a big stupid stabilizer in there that causes problems and makes light bounce around.

You ordered it and then went back to the same item and found the price went up? Happens all the time on items I've bought on amazon.CA as well.
In fact, it often happens when I put an item in the "wish list" as well.

And ever since you commented on that non-working oil drip guard, it has shown up in my recommended products everywhere.



I scored one today though. It has taken 4 days to ship items from their own fulfillment warehouse so I wrote them and asked what's up.... it was marked shipped 20 min later and they gave me a 10$ voucher.

(looking forward to seeing the new tires on your bike)
