Steady on laughing boy - Ridden one have ya?
I've just tested the 08.
I'd describe the steering as responsive.
Countersteering it around a manhole cover or pothole is tre easy.

Oh chrome..... ummm... there is less there now than on the old bike. Hope you guys like black.
lol... and you have done up your bike as well i understand?
Oh and here is the kicker... Bike is almost ready and waiting and now they have diagnosed a torn tendon in my shoulder. Looks like i will be going back for another operation. last one (same issue) had me unable to drive for 2 months and ride for at least 3. I am not a happy camper.

But you will still at least make it to the CKMC birthday bash right!?
I'm doing my bike in matte black, with a high gloss red candy stripe down the middle and a custom tank logo. But thats like when win the lotto or get my inheritience or have the heart to sell off my guitars.
Just been fiddling with the speedo - custom guages now bohahahaa.. it looks ok at best.
I wish I could afford a brand spanking new bike.. second hand bikes I just want to cry when I see whats been worn out... just had to order a new speedo cable today
Heres the gauges

cool, they look great. Well you have a plan and thats a start. just a matter of working on it eh.
New bikes are new for a very short period of time and that look disappears quickly without maintenance. Don't down that bike of yours. Its a nice bike and its yours. Sorry i haven't been at the rides, as you know i have been a little ummm preoccupied.

Haha, I was wondering how you'd fair with those mini apes when you posted this thread up awhile ago.
I aped my curved bars for awhile - until one of the guys in my club who has a GN pasted me on a uphill turn. I knew then my bars were too high for me to control it how I wanted to ride my bike

man that sounds mean. So you've done the stage 2 then, I have the stage one only (aircleaner, pipes)? Bars are always a talking point. I dropped the chubby standard bars and went to T bars with an 8 inch built in riser. On the new bike they are going to be low and a little wider. I went with V&H 2 -1 pipes. I think it gives a good low rumble. Lone rider doesn't like my 2-1 but hey thats why we are all different and he is entitled to his opinion. He also complains that big apes lets GN's pass him on hills, GN's pass him on the flat too. (j/k)
It'd be great to see your bike throughout the changes. Ok, I am a sucker for variation and change.

as long as harleys can't pass me I'm good :P
I'm a sucker for straight shots, drag pipes (some of them), and classics.
