She sat on the bike with me just in the driveway and legs are no in the vicinity of the shifter. I tried to make her reach the shifter....She cannot. So the real issue is just getting your balance right with a passenger. She denied my request to join me on a ride.
The first strung out hooker I run across I may offer her $25.00 to turn a trick just riding on the back of my Train whislt I practice Jockeying my way around the hood....Practice with a skinny lil' one thats worked up on Meth then maybe try a fat one who likes burgers and is down on her luck?
Gawd thats ugly.
Damn it Chaz, now everyone is going to want one. You make it sound to easy (which it is). Enjoy your bike and ride fast buddy.
Its not just that its easy tho'. Its that feeling of shifting that big twin with yer' hand thats just priceless. I will need to address my stiff *** clutch spring issues tho....I pulled off my easy pull clutch ramp lever as I figgered it wouldnt be needed....Bad move on my part. 05's dont get the factory installed easy pull ramp like the 07+ bikes. Mine is old school stiff with that SE spring. Gonna put that ramp back on someday...Man I hate putting those Rineharts back on this bike. Thats a demotivator there.
Heres what putting a Rinehart 2-1 pipe on my bike is like...Sans the smiling face!!

You can keep the boards. My Sloptail still has the boards. LaBriola makes a setup for use with floorboards.

Mine rides with me when I put the sofa-seat on instead of the Cherokee or solo. No problem with colliding parts. But do make certain they know from the git-go that they are never to lean over the left shoulder to whisper sweet nothings in your ear at a stop.

Damn Chaz, your bike is looking great. Glad everything flowed together for ya finally. I like the look you have going now MUCH better than the last setup. Keep it up and you might actually end up in the bike of the month club ;-). I would love to do the jockey shift, but my wife loves to move around WAY too much when we ride. I keep trying to talk her into getting her own bike, no go there. Still awaiting the video you promised though, LOL.
