You see who wears the pants around my homestead! 😉
I bring em home in the front seat & announce, Were Here !!!.
More to come down the road.
Ill try to not take as long, this time.
Oh, this is a brand new engine.
Threw the warranty card away.
New PM calipers & bracket, Speed Dealer Custom Rockers ( lowers front end 1)
EBC 5 button floating rotor, Buchanan Stainless Twisted polished spokes,
new oem rims , Fournales Front & rear shocks.
Relocated turn signals to forks & used black housings.
I plan to make as much of the bike black as I can.
Ride Safe,
