Cav ...

Great review. I notice your bike doesnt have the emblem mounted on the tank .... rather a decal as it looks from the pic. What gives? I thought the '07 SGC's all had the emblem .... the one I saw in person did. BTW .... I like the ScooT .... looks exceptional.

It's a Low Rider. They have the decals under the clearcoat.

Got to disagree TJ ... Silver engine, no tack, and buckhorns .... it's a Custom .... maybe with a different tank?

and it's a LONG way to the fixed position highway pegs (optional or added).
Just and FYI, you've got those highway peg mounting plates on backwards. That's why they're so far away. You need to flip them over and swap sides. I made the same mistake at first.
Dang, I'll be all over that tomorrow! Thanks!

PsTaN is right. It's a Custom. I removed the metal emblems and replaced with some I had done up custom. Not clear-coated...yet (when, and if, I do...I'll probably have the tank repainted to do away with the silver pinstripe, which I don't care for)

DOh! You're right. I got my threads mixed up. I was looking at Wiegs's Low Rider and though I was responding to this thread.

I suck.

UPSIDE DOWN and BACKWARDS! Well, we can all feel a little better about ourselves not being alone in this faux pax. I flipped/moved mine this morning and that little tip saved me a trip to the drill press. Whodathunk it would affect the reach so much? Well, it does and it's perfect now. Thanks for the sharp eye.

Well over thirty years at this and I miss something so obvious.....[sm=smiley24.gif]
