Got my Nash Midget Gimps put on. Bought Magnum cables, couldn't be happier with the quality. Just about done with it. I have some Joker Schooner mirrors on the way and a matching gas cap.

Fitted Biltwell Zeds. Love the look but they feel too narrow to me? Its a slow turning bike anyway so the added steering input will probably irk me? Love the look though. I had to take the nose fairing off as I thought it didnt look right with those bars??

So I've been snoozing, not paying attention, but didn't you already try a
set of similar bars previously & didn't like them either?
(maybe I'm thinking of someone else)

I'll try to keep up...

That's usually the problem with pulling out too quick. Makes a hell of a mess!




Off topic dumb question too. How do you post a pic in the reply instead of having it a thumbnail at the bottom?

You're right, I tried Keystones, which I loved, but they gave me shoulder ache??

Rode it for the first time in almost two weeks. 10x more fun than the evil blackness fxdwg"1/2 L" that 0-90 is just so effortless. i love my bike... sure is getting loud with valve train noise. (bad moon rising)

I was a little awkward on them for a day or two as well. You get used to them.

Mr. Taipan that bike is lookin good!

Finished up the drag bar installation last night, installed the stealth tail R-B-T earlier in the week and received a call that my FP3 shipped today. Finally can install the new air cleaner that's been sitting on the counter for two weeks when that arrives.
