Any chance you have a picture of the set-up?
Thanks

I can't figure out how to attach pictures. I do have pics of the bars, but there's no "browse" anymore.

Cmyers · 03-16-2012, 07:13 PM

Clint: what about loading them into photobucket or something similar and then just use the link provided for the picture?

I am sure I will regret it but my trusty Hawk has been sold.

I hated to do it but it had to be done.

I know it will be taken care of by a very picky older gent.

Put them on my 92 a few weeks ago. I like 'em. They've got a bit less pullback, and are a bit higher. I was concerned that they would feel higher, but they don't.

Yep, that's a F16 shield too.

I took the WeeHawk out for a ride this afternoon and I can't say enough good things about the Airhawk II Seat Cushion. I thought I might have had the bike sold a few weeks ago but never heard back from the guy that was interested. Since I still have it though, a friend and I are planing a week long ride for late July, not sure where we are going yet though (it's been a few years since I have been on the road).

If any of you are on Facebook, look me up!

Sweet, thanks for putting up the pictures. Love the "clock" too.

How are the Vibes with those bars? they look like they might be what i want to replace my bent bars.

CLINTIRD · 03-19-2012, 09:28 PM

I figured it out...there you go. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I love riding it. Cheersy'all!!!

Cmyers · 03-20-2012, 03:18 PM

Clint I really like the look of that bike !

Those bars look good - mine are slightly tweaked, I will certainly keep those in mind when I get around to putting new bars on.

I haven't noticed any difference when changing from stock to these.

My main reason for swapping was to straighten my wrists out a bit, and in that regard they are great.

Bonus is that they're black, and look great!

So, I installed an aftermarket horn on my '84 450. I bought it because it was supposed to be loud. It's loud enough, I guess, certainly louder than the O.E horn that was on there.

Its a low tone, single tone. I want to go get the high tone in the same horn and run the both of them. Can I hook them up in series and run them both on the stock wiring? Do I need to run an inline fuse?

Thanks much!

Actually, what you really want to do is add a relay to the wiring. That will give the new horn needed voltage, and will esp. help with a second horn.

Yes, I did that six years ago and it's saved my skin numerous times from the phone-driving 'holes around here. As genespleen said, put a relay in there & you're good to go.

An numbers on the relay needed? Much appreciated on this horny issue. An diagrams handy? So, so lazy.
