Hello ALL. I ve been lurking around this site for a few weeks now after purchasing my first cruiser about a month ago today. Already did a bunch of mods already and looking to do a bunch more over the hibernation season, like 240 kit, BAK and PCIII


Not sure how to post pics on the thread yet. I am sure I will pick it up quicky. I put some pics in my gallery if you want to take a look.

Sweet looking ride - can't go wrong with black. I like the wrapped pipes. You've already done quite a bit for only having her for a month. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum, nice '08.

Nice work, those bars are skinny - cool. Gotta love a black bike.


I like the right-side plate set-up and the pipes too. Need shorter cables.


Yep the VBAK will take care of the right side ugliness, very nice.

Yo, whats your exit?

welcome to the forum. Other than the swing arm sticker, the bike looks real cool.

 

[RC51]

thanks. Def aware of the shorter cables. Just cannot find them anywhere, the dealer is not even sure where to get shorter ones. Do you have a recommendation?

Heck yes, Barnett will build what ever you want. Just pull a string along the entire length of each cable to measure what length you want. Then Barnett will make them, and they have the nicest cables. Their brake lines are great too but I don't know if the braided stainless on the cables matches the braided stainless on the brake lines exactly (should have asked but I didn't).


Then when you place your order, you buy thru one of their distributors, they don't sell direct.

What kinfd of bars are those? I love the look, but worried about handling, any problems hitting the tank?

 

[RC51]

Sin City, they are Fanders Broomstick 27" I dont recommend them unless you are dragging the bike. They are hard to handle. I have since changed the bars to a low rise drag with a 5" pull back. Way more comfortable and easier to handle the bike.

Yeah I figued they were flanders. I am looking at getting the flanders cafe low bars, in black. A little rise and little pull back. I would need new cables too though. Thanks.

Welcome! I may be changing bars this year. I'm bored with mine.
