One of the nice things about living in the desert is you can ride year 'round. Got the first part done today while its new owner was at work.

Nice ride there 702, love the color and the wheels. I was hoping you could give me some info on the hand guards you have pictured? I'm looking for some to extend my riding season a bit. Any info, brand, internet link, whatever would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I got them on Amazon and have them on 2 bikes. They work quite well and deflect wind, rocks and bugs.
