Guest BluesLover Posted March 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 21, 2008 Ok, so I'm overdoing it just a bit ... got the bike all ready for the road - new rubber, new tail light bulb, put all the new "safety" accessories on her (mud-flaps from Timberwolfe Leather, new grips, some "shiny" floor board covers for the front, floorboards for the rear, engine bolt cover, oil cap, etc.). She looked go nice out on the driveway that I couldn't stand it and off I went ... didn't go far, only about a 50 km loop, but man, did it feel good!!! Now, I'm just waiting for the new CB antenna and the trunk wing light to come in and that will be it ... (yeah ... right!!! ) Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcarl Posted March 22, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 22, 2008 You got an awesome scoot, now you've just about got it all, you're Canadian (well imported maybe), you have money,(or had money) warm weather is coming (sometime I hope, usually does) and you have a bike for two (only the first gen is better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BluesLover Posted March 22, 2008 Share #7 Posted March 22, 2008 I'm just wondering how did you attach the rear flap? Thanks Keith - both the rear and front mudflaps tuck under the chrome rims. They are each held in place by a couple of chrome screws. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidrow Posted March 22, 2008 Share #9 Posted March 22, 2008 love the boards, but you gotta be careful with those. I had them on my 96 rstd and the rubber strips kept peeling off. Keep some adhesive with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BluesLover Posted March 22, 2008 Share #10 Posted March 22, 2008 Keep some adhesive with you.Thanks for the tip! The ones on the front are the Kuryakin covers (they just slip over the original ones). Is that what you had as well? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yeah ... right!!! ) Cheers, Lou I know its been a long winter and Stephen and I worked on the bikes last sunday puting new toys on(TFD's bike- Fender rail,Rear diamondr led light,Radiator grill) but I don't think I can get out of the subdivision as there is a ton of salt and sand still on the roads.I added a few things to mine this winter also(diamondr backrest,shorty windshield,Trailer hitch). Glad you made it back safe and hope it took some of the anxiety out. I started mine yesterday and it sounded sweet but I will leave it alone for a little longer.Looking forward to riding with you this summer. Say hi to Vicki for Dianne and we will catch you later.
