I pinned all of mine as well. One PO had written his name and phone number on the inside of the lids.
Now I wonder why he did that....

Thats a nice bike, you have been the most help. Did the spacers go on both sides? Mostly I want to try to keep the fender from shaking so bad I cant keep my signal light bar from shaking loose. I don't like the rubber bumper. I'd like to put on a earlier model fender tip and shorter light bar.

Thats cool, Thanks. I use a 1/2" piece of radiator hose on my kick stand to keep from denting up my primary, two brass screws to hold on my kicker pedal. brass screws to keep my foot board rubbers in place. Hey, do I need to make my pics smaller or am I comming in fine?
