Oh well, she is back together and running great and is soooooo much more comfortable now. Much more Tour and less Sport lean, and my back appreciates it. Now that I have highway pegs on her too, I think I'll start calling her my Blue'Wing.

Mike,

I did the same thing to my 03 Concours six years ago, I added a backrest to the seat, cruise and highway pegs, makes for a very "cheap" wing.

What you are seeing is actually the adapter(s) for the handlebars. They bolt on to the top of the triple-tree. The top of the tubes are probably pretty flush with the top of the clamp areas in the tree.

Click the link in my sig, and go to "contact." That will get you to the office for info you need. I think you'll find that our prices are comparable.

BTW - I love the diversity of "occupations" in your sig line. You ain't ever gonna retire with that much going on.

Yeah, I know. I'm only looking to retire from one though.

(There are actually two other jobs not listed in my sig line too!)

Chris, you are too kind. But thanks again for my friend Sam and his friends..... I enjoyed several of them last night!

Met Cycletech this week down here in Pburg. He was out riding with a friends and they happened to park their KLRs across the street from us. What a small world.

Guy, you are a constructing machine. I will hire you when we decide to expand in WV. Anything worth doing, is worth OVER-doing has seemed to be a motto I've lived by. You look like it is your motto too. Or is that just being type A?

Yep, great guy! Taught me well enough so it was no trouble at the next tire change. There's a parable in there somewhere. Something about fishing IIRC. Jimmy?

Different source for the parable, but still good.
