You saying that aint true?

Dammit...I've been duped by my man Rush!! That fat fvckin' liar. LOL!!!

LOL,

Nothing is perfect, nobody is perfect, but somethings are 'good' and the Canadian health system is 'good'.. I do not know much about the American Health care system, I work in the US often but I am home always by Friday and thus I am ignorant on the Debate.

Funniest thing, in 1990-91 I was serving in the Egyptian army, during Desert Storm, I was helping troops stationed in Saudia, I loved Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, all tmy 80's on the radio when I was a teen, then my first 'real American' Radio experience was "The Armed Forces Radio and Telvision Service' and they broadcasted 2 hours of Rush every night, for young Egyptian kids who loved 'six million dollar man' and 'Falcon crest', "Rush" was a dream shattering experience LOL

Damn...I'm no badass...Just a guy in the suburbs with a bad case of....

BIKE ENVY!!

Man...That looks too good.

I'm jealous. Please rotate them back into nerdwad world so at least I dont feel so bad about not having your whitewalls, sissy bar or uber cool fork bellows.

Man that bike seriously works Mang. Its in my top 5 favourite fellow members bikes without a doubt and I'm busily stealing ideas from your north of the border gansta ***!

Nice move.

Be proud. That bike is sick.

OK...This is what I need:
The sissy bar? Who made it and where can I get one like right now?

It is my pleasure my friends I share anything with my brothers here .

The bar is the Harley 'quick detach' , it is the single piece (not two piece) and was powder coated black, I got it off ebay and sold the Chrome ugly monsterous one , and made sure I have no 'pad' on it to make it look sleeker and longer.
I just did a quick search , the number is 53618-05 (chrome)

I just moved my spring seat 2" forward and 1/2 " up by drilling two new holes in the frame cover, took me around an hour to get that one done and took the bike for a test, I gotta get used to it, it is so much fun though.

I also rotated my signals housing a bit , just as you guys said.

Thank you guys so much for your suggestion the rotating of the bar had an unvelievable effect on the look of the bike.

My sissy bar is a little different from his. But I got mine from Cycle vision. It was $129.00 If I remember right.

Hmmmm....Good info. The cycle vision piece is nice as well. I wonder if I can rig it up to fit in my HD mounts from my uber cruiser guy sissy setup?

I'll post some photos later and see what you guys think as I cant tell if it will be compatible.

To the OP....I want to apologize for your thread being absolutely jacked beyond recognition. I feel to blame and will do my very best to avoid hijacking in the future.

My apologies...I get so excited about these bikes and little mods that I lose all sense of...Decorum?
