After having a bad wreck August 2015 and spending the past year recovering from bilateral shoulder dislocation, three cracked ribs, and severely bruised knees big changes are coming for my 1200. Switched to a joker machine 1 1/8" bar mount with renthal fat bars and a nissin master cylinder and adjustable brake lever. Currently having difficulty sourcing a 17"x4.25 40 spoke rear rim and a fabricator that can bend a 7/8" DOM subframe to match my seat. It's been a long process, but it's slowly coming along.
Thanks if I end up not being able to find a spoked rim for a reasonable price I'm considering getting a set of the current 883 superlow wheels instead. I already have the paint picked for the tank I'm going with Subaru Hyper blue then, adding a touch of metal flake and pearl to make it have a bit more depth to it.
