CHiP's .... but they had Kawi KZ900's back in the day.

I loved the show. Did you know that Bruce Penhall who played the rookie/cadet Bruce Nelson was the World Speedway Champion in 1981 and 1982

I adjusted the light up after this but wanted to show how wide it is. Compared to some that are very narrow. The shed to the left is just under 100ft away and 30ish ft to the left.

She definitely talks to ya...not bad cruising. Had the same but full length on my Limited that was a stage 4 103 and loved it....cars hated it when I dropped two and passed 🙃

 

[Mike79]

quick little rev after I installed the power vision.

 

[Mike79]

Replaced the k&n intake today. My go to is the fuel moto stelth with taller filter but it hits my knee so went a little different this time. Arlen Ness 65 degree.

New tail light...cut the wires to the license light as it is below the bar.

Whose plate bracket? I like it, and need one.

Looking good Mike!

The black plate ring? No idea it was in the saddle bag when I got the bike.

How's the light output on it? Looks identical to the "lectric honeycomb" I see for sale in a number of places.

It doesn't have the same reflectors shown in the picture it's not as deep....for $25 I am happy with it....low profile LED blacked out fits all my needs. I do like a strobe brake light but that can be done with a plug in module so all lights hooked for brake strobe then go solid.

 

[Mike79]

Have yet to wire them into the bright curcit...this is all low beam...turn the brights on the white light goes off and the yellow high will kick in....I want enough light to make cageriders ears bleed if and when needed ie when some old guy in an F150 can't maintain his lane situations such as that!

 

[Mike79]

Low beam with aux.

High beam with yellow aux.

I can turn the aux on and off...white is tied to low and yellow to high...I might swap them after a test in fog/rain.

 

[Mike79]

Need to adjust the aux lights out some but they will work just fine...not bad for $30

 

[fieldgrade]

Looks good, Mike.

 

[Mike79]

Order the rest of what I needed for the bar swap this morning!

 

[Mike79]

Not bad progress for 45 min of work. I did find out why my bushings had so much play in them...loose riser bolts....I hate 1/2assers!

 

[Mike79]

Tbars are done...didn't run the wires internally...one because it's a pain and also the way they would come out of the bars I didn't like...the fairing covers them and I'll be adding a bar bag also.

Started on "why does my Road King look like a mad Street Glide" remedy today!

I'm going to modify the mounting brackets to tilt it back then down some.

 

[Mike79]

Best I can do with the Tbars....tilted back and raised it up. I'm going to drill the mounting brackets and find a filler for the headlight. This will be for cold weather...who knows I might mount a road glide fairing with fixed lowers by next winter 😀 🤔 😄

 

[Lager]

Now THERE is a proper looking working garage. Well done on the bike mods.

 

[Mike79]

Yerp no room for shite!

 

[Chad]

I replaced the front speakers in my roadglide Recently. Huge pita. Ended up using a Dremel to cut reliefs so the magnets fit. Then fairing was a little out of whack going back on. Glad that's over.

 

[Chad]

Scored a lepera bare bones and passenger pillion for the shovel. 100 bucks and a ride to Fayetteville. Ordered the hardware to attach everything from lepera today. I love that company. Have 4 lepera seats at the moment

Is that the Jet Hot coating on the exhaust ? My Buell exhaust looked like that, always liked it.

 

[Chad]

Yeah its ceramic coated. I didn't have it done but definitely what it is.

 

[Mike79]

Messed with the fairing some today on my lunch break. Looking like I am going to lower it down and kick the bottom out vs tilting the top back. I'll get the mods done tomorrow after work...then surgery on Friday for the torn bicep... depending how they stabilize my arm I might get to tinker some with it soon.

Good look with the stitching and sewing.

Are those heads chromed, or polished?
Either way, I’d like to park a pair in my living room.
