"one-off sparkle red coke bottle Avon grips"


can you tell us about these.....

 

Very nice...I love to see spokes on a Bagger.

I have those same Bars coming in today, it was good to see them on your bike. Very good pics.

 

I hope you like it, that's all that matters.

 

you guys are funny man...
"add that back, take that off, and swap this..."
cool, now it's like everyone else's!

regarding ride-ability, I guess that's subjective.
I'm after handling and comfort while not looking like every old man's stock, HD dealer modded bagger.
I live in sunny California and ride year round' except for the handful of rainy days. it's a daily rider for me.
I tour up and down the coast, and east only into the desert...no fender is a non-issue there.
...and on a damp day, the fairing and tall windshield avoid any splatter.

I have to have 21" on my bikes for styling reasons and this huge 140/70 tire out performs a 120 and rides just the same as stock tire.
I have the added height from the taller tire combo F&R to lean hard & drag floorboards before my pipes or extended bags touch.
to me, thats what ride-ability is; comfort & handling...paired with my performance mods it's exactly what I need/want out of my bike and it's different.

regarding the 2" over shrouds, yes of course it's aesthetic. that's all they're there for in the first place really.
if you take a second and actually read thru my OP, it explains I not only had the fork lowers SHAVED to remove the fender tabs, but added the longer cowbells to beef up the look.
this non-fender job was very intentional and thought out...I can't just "put it back on" the bike.

*edit: coke bottles are old school chopper grips.
they are not offered for fly-by-wire bikes, to I had them made with the proper throttle tube and bar sleeves.

 

Sharp looking bike, strong and subtle.

 

I like it a whole lot more than the stupid big wheel raked crap !! Looks tuff.

 

Very nice looking bike, well done! Enjoy your riding!

 

I like it alot.
Small things that add up to a awesome bike.

You might want to check into the legality of having red turn signals on the front of your scoot. A lot of states don't allow that so no one will confuse you for law enforcement.
