I think I'm safe for now or at least until I get the toilet fixed..

 

 

Took the King out to get the parts I needed and for a short 15 mile ride. Observations as follows:


Pros-


It sure is purty!
Ride is decent
Lighter than Old Blue and with the 96" has pretty good power.
Handles well.


Cons-


Stock handlebars suck. Felt like I was having to lean forward to have both hands on. (Mini apes mebbe?)
Needs new mufflers. Too quiet and I miss the rumble. (fishtails would look good and give a better tone)
No tachometer, I like having a tach..
Needs a back rest.
Needs road pegs.
And most important of all, no cig lighter!


Overall a nice bike that just needs some personalizing.

 

Get rid of it.......but it sure is pretty.

 

Afternoon Woods!

Glad you got to take it for a ride before Blue hires another Goodfeather/Hitbird

 

Sounds about right for a new bike, Tracy.

 

Afternoon Woods, well after a long winter the King is back together and roars to life. No insurance so I can't ride on the warmest day of the year thus far. First impressions of the rock outs is good, it seems quieter than I remember but a long ride at full temperature is needed to properly evaluate .

 

Very cool! Get that insurance!

 

Pulled down all the camping gear. Got till Friday to load up the trailer for the trip. #lasttentcampingtrip.

 

Which trip is that? Don't remember you saying you took delivery of the camper.
