Thanks! My wife hates em. She said " why you get gold grips with chrome on the rest of the bike?" Well I ain't done yet, and they're brass not gold there lady. Lol

Heard a Harley on the road for the first time this year. Bet there'll be a bunch out Sunday - supposed to break 60 and yesterday's rain should've washed most of the salt off.

Careful, you don't want it to look like this.

When I had my worst back episode, occasionally my left leg would glue to the floor, only way I could move was to push a fist hard into my lower back, just left of my spine. I could walk that way, though it was awkward (& probably looked weird) to walk while pushing that way. Guess it took the pressure off the sciatic nerve somehow. Just found it out by accident. Lower backs can be a misery.

I've seen a buncha guys riding throughout Virginia over the last few days. We might kick this winter. Has it really been that long, or does it just seem like it cause I just got my bike?

Mines in the process of reassembly. Where's a good place to get a good inexpensive pair of torque wrenches?

I had a good beam torque wrench, but eyesight is a pain with it now, so got a set (1/4,3/8,1/2) at Harbor Freight. Checked them against the beam wrench, all seemed to be within 5 lbs of each other, close enough. Well, except for the 1/4 inch pounder, never had one that small before, nothing to check it against. They'll be on sale again in April, $11.99 each, 2 bucks more than last year. Also, I don't think there's any bolts or screws I don't use either loctite or anti-seize on, depending on where it's at.
