Lol..... that "bridge" is a stones throw from my house...... bike looks good!

Thanks! And I know it is! I drove by that gas station on the corner and thought "Troy lives over there" lol

@overland what else do you have. Hard to find bikes nearly as ergonomic as the older honders. :thumbup:

I must exude MBS or something, how did you know? Three GL1000s, (76, 77, 78) 69 SL350, 72 CB350 (8' long chop) 72 CB500, 74 CB550, R90/6, (love boxers) and a whole bunch of junk.

 

[in4aride]

Well damn I find myself jealous.

 

[in4aride]

Scary shit there mike, glad you pulled out of it without a wreck.

Yeah me too. Got a little sketch for a second but was all good once I got er upright. Definitely happy I've had seat time recently.

 

[in4aride]

Well collar is installed. Rides much better. My clip ons and dual caliper bracket showed up, just waiting on the calipers to get in so I can get all that and the cage installed. Pretty anxious and stoked.

 

[DutchVDub]

What's the collar do?

Damn weather is pissing me off, its really slowing down my ability to rack up miles on the Victory.

 

[in4aride]

Collar is the spacer on the wheel from the bearing to the swingarm that allows the rotation of the wheel without contact by any other part against the swingarm.

 

[DutchVDub]

Oh, I got you. The part that got buggered up on your last ride. I was thinking you added some other aftermarket doohickey and was trying to figure out what it could be.

 

[in4aride]

Nope nope. I'm installing the clipons and cage tomorrow. Then the dual caliper bracket with the new calipers once they arrive.

 

[in4aride]

Got the bars and cage done. So stoked. Felt ton better on the quick ride after.

 

[DutchVDub]

Those crash bars are intense, they look tougher than the ones my KTM had and it was an offroad bike. I don't see you having issues with damage if you drop that thing with those bars.

Why are the controls so far in from the grips? Are you waiting on longer lines to move them out? It looks like you can easily 2-finger the brake and clutch but I'd want the turn signal and horn buttons closer.

 

[in4aride]

I don't use the signals or horn.

Yeah the cages are intense for sure. They take a beating no doubt.

 

[DutchVDub]

I don't use my horn much, but I do use my turn signals.

Did you already cut the fairing? You did a nice clean job if you did.

 

[in4aride]

I have not cut it yet. At this point I don't need to as I managed to get everything to fit just fine without it. We will see if I change my mind on that it not.

 

[DutchVDub]

That's cool, I was going to say the edge on the cutout looks really damn clean. You should've just lied and played it off like you did.

 

[in4aride]

Haha. I'm not that good. No one here would be fooled.

 

[time2getdirty]

My wife refuses to let me get a bike. Won't even entertain the idea.

 

[in4aride]

Eh I couldn't have that. Be a deal breaker.

 

[time2getdirty]

Its crazy how she won't even talk about me.

 

[in4aride]

Won't talk about you? Or about it to you?
