They were a must have for me when I bought the bike last year. Nice spot to relocate the signals. Basically all the motogadget stuff is sweet. Would look real good on that sporty your building.

What size of 19" tire are you planning to use on the Rear? ...It's only 2.15" wide...That same 100?

...looks good

I was was thinking about going 4.00-19 in the back and 3.50-19 in the front.

Although I do think it looks cool when you run the exact same tire front and back. Kind of old school.
I’m leaning toward a set of Heidenau K34 tires.

I did look it up and the rim size is within the manufacturer’s spec for a 4.00-19.

Yes, for sure. That 4" is approximately a 100mm. Same size as you have on there now...(Temporarily)

The 3.5" is approx a 90mm...even slightly thinner than the front you have on there now.

So...no problem

Id love to do Motogadget tip to tail but I’ve no budget for it.
Maybe next time I will tackle a Dyna tracker that would justify full on Motogadget.
From the M unit blue to the switch gear, gauges and lights.

It's half snowing - half raining at +2c outside so I'm cleaning up this bike...autosol to remove the dull corrosion on the wheels etc. It's supposed to be +5C on the weekend so I'm hoping to get a ride in.

Finally getting around to venting the breather bolts out of the intake. Bought a new filter last ride of last season & I'd like to keep it from filling with oil.

Im using 2, 90* spark plug caps (got from my local mechanic for 0$). A piece of new fuel line I had from another project, some worm gear clamps, and a brass "T". The T and the fuel line cost me about 11Cad.

**In the pics the rigid line looks like it is closer to the gear than it actually is. As well, the bolts for the sprocket cover keep the two from ever contacting each other**
