Restore Officially Complete Now...

#1

Post by Fewman »

sunnbobb...below is a quote from an earlier post (March 2011) right after I had a successful startup from my winter restore project.
gonna need to see some more pics of your ride Fewman!
Well, after about 800 miles on the street, I can say that everything is finally adjusted and the wing is running sweet! I finally got around to some pictures to post. Keep in mind that everytime I leave the house, I have to drive 6 miles down to the pavement (and back up) driving on a dirt national forest access road....but I have found a car wash in Loveland (starts up at $1.00) so I always head there first to rinse all the dust off! Anyway, a few pictures...

Very nice build, I would wash it every time I passed the car wash too. The only thing that I think I would have done differently is I would match the straight line of the bags that starts just above the tail lights to the same plane as the line formed by the bottom of the shelter. Other than that, it is a really nice ride and I like the shape of the bags as well and no they don't make the bikes but look big action1
