Default Ready for another show...
Well was getting bike ready fir a show in the am and was adjusting the shocks all the way down and found that I have a broken shock bolt. It's been sheared off for a while. Well glad I found it but now I have to take the swing arm off to drill out the rest of the bolt. Anyways it is a trailer queen to the show now. Wish I could get practice on the foot clutch. O well. Here is pics of new dash and slammed show stance.

That dash extension and speed bezel look great. I really like the contrast. Tomorrow will be fun.

I have been driving a stick shift since I was 15 (19 years ago) and playing drums for over 20 years....I still don't think I would be coordinated enough to ride a tank shift bike...lol

Riding with a foot clutch is just like driving a car with a stick. It takes some getting sued to but once you know how to do it, it is second nature. If I can do it, you can too!

Fingers crossed for the HDF members at the show!
