thanks!!
![]() as requested... taking after chitown and some of the rest of you... first down! of many....waiting on new panels for ChiTown for the tank and then paint... HP2 tank bag fits really well... instead of the bungie cord I'm going to make a strap underneath the tank hidden outta the way... more clean look.... but you gotta admit... the orange bungie cord is a nice touch... ![]() uncle's bike gets windscreen, handgaurds (mine... , hopefully going HDB for me) then radiator guards and other misc. shiney things! ![]() P.S. - happy easter... he is risen |

(Hand up.) Yep. I've had a bitch of a ime installing tires on this bike. Just about to do it again. I was hoping you had a changer
What happened on the tip-over there? And what tires did you get? My new Big Block should be here tomorrow.

I do.... used my cycle hill changer today actually... mitas on the rear and metzler 6-day front... front was something I had laying around brand new? lol rear is from my uncles... opted out of getting the big block cause if I wanna patch a tube in the middle of nowhere I wanna be able to spoon the tire off... the mitas is a tire I can almost do by hand! holler when you wanna change tires tip over was actually me laying the bike down (nice and easy!) to drag it outta a rut I made... lol knobbies can collect mud! |

Maybe I missed a thread in "Trip Planning" but what route are you going to take? How long will you be gone? Details, man!
