Wrench'n Ride'n

Yep I admit it. I am a handlebar whore. I can't get enough of them. Their curves and bends speak to me. I seem to change them every other month. As much as I loved the Zombie Performance Mirco Bend-a-lious bars I have replaced them. That didn't take long hey. Gracing the bike now is a set of original Harley Sportster Buckhorn style bars. By far they would have to be the most comfortable ones I have fitted. Did close to 300kms today, highway and suburban riding. No numb hands. Every bar I have fitted so far has caused some form of numbness in my hands. Thats would be more position of the my hands and wrists. Not so these Harley bars. Thew a set of Biltwell Polished Slimline risers on too. Had to drill the triple tree out to 1/2 inch. Retro look they give to the triple clamp now. To torment my mates I have red grips again. Biltwell Ox Blood Recoil grips. I ran some wet and dry over the bars. Gives the chrome that brushed steel look. The leather between the risers is to hi

No I have not had an electrical problem with the Speedmaster. I have had a shock fix. Got some Hagon 2810 shocks fitted this evening. I ordered these through Fast Eddy in the USA.

Desired height: Stock, -1/2 inch from stock, - 1 inch from stock. Weight of gear: Solo and or with pillion and how frequently you travel this way." He then gets them custom made for you. He is a great guy to deal with too. As it was late here this evening when I fitted them I wont know what the ride quality is like till the morning. I think they will be way better than the stock shocks that came with the bike. They were getting very sad in a shocking way.

Plastidip. Plastic out of a spray can. Weird. Bought a can of Foliatec Spray Film from Repco today. Same as Plastidip. This stuff is a plastic film. Coated the chrome headlight shell in some black gloss. My spraying may not have been the best. Its black now. Might do the forks next.
