Hey Josewales, you gotta calm down on the mods, you're makin' us look bad. The bike is really starting to take shape. I really like the blacked out skid bar. I just might have to follow your lead on that. Great job.

HD mustache engine guards. Getting Kury rubbers for them...stock ones r fugly.

O I can't slow down...o'lady talking rings again. Told her maybe next year...10 years of buying time may have to end haha. But after fenders & shotguns, it's small orders to finish off the bike. Then I guess it's maybe time for my life profect, that 'M' word....if she behaves that is:P And if she doesnt, I will threaten her with a another bike muwahaha!

Yeah, I really like those black mustache ones. I've laid my bike down twice now (thankfully, no damage), so I think it might be a good investment for me :P

Can you get the rubber foot rests off? (don't plan to use 'em)

GJ on throwing your body in front of your bike!:P Good to hear.

Ya they r easy to take off...just need a tool to poke a rod through that lies underneath.

Just in case.... mustache comes in chrome or gloss black. There are some sweet looking guards out there, ie. Lindby...



Meh I want to keep it simple round for now.

any chance of getting a picture with you sitting on the bike in your riding position? I would like to see how your hands and arms come forward onto those bars... Basically, how the shoulders/elbows/wrists end up. Bikes looks great btw... really liking the bars.

Bike gets dropped off on Monday...I can do that. Ya there is snow on the streets blah.

Also...note that when u move the bars up and down the wrist angle noticeably changes. Which is a plus imo. Big difference compared to stocks is the pull back....when I sat on first thing I noticed I can sit back in the seat without arm lock.

That is really what im interested in. I like the way that this keeps the bars low, sort of streamlined compared to apes, but I am concerned about how that translates to comfort for the wrists and elbows. I know how apes translate to comfort since I ran them on my last bike... I would really appreciate a shot once you get it back to show off the position of your arms.

Also, cant wait to see your PCd forks. That is also on my to-do mods list, feels like a mountain of mods to do yet
