OK MY TURN TO VENT!!!!!!!!!!SEEMS LIKE MY ROAD WHICH IS A SHOCK TEST PROVING GROUND BROKE ON E OF MONTS I HAD MY FAIRING HOOK TO :head bang: :head bang: NOT ONLY THAT BECAUSE I NEVER PUT ANYTHING TOGETHER LIKE ITS SUPPOSE TO THE VETTER LOWERS ARE NOT HOOKING UP IN A WAY THAT GIVES ME GOOD ACCESS TO THE HIWAY PEGS IM NOT TO HAPPY ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!! :head bang: :head bang: :nea: SO IM GOING TO HAVE TO RAISE THE FAIRING SOME , WELD IN SOME TOUGHER MONTS AND MOVE IT FORWARD A LITTLE
:shock:
:cheeky: :Awe: :cheeky:
THE WAY I MONTED IT I RAISED THE SPEEDO AND TACK AND TUCKED THE FAIRING UNDER THE SPEEDO AND TACK TO GET THE WINDSHEILD AS CLOSET TO ME AS POSSIBLE AND BECAUSE I DIDNT HAVE LOWERS AT THE TIME I MADE MONTS THAT WOULDNT SHOW , IF YOU LOOK AT MY SIGNITURE YOU CAN SEE THAT HEADLIGHT IS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE FORKS AS COMPAIRED TO OTHERS MONTED RIGHT ,I LIKE THE WAY THIS WORKED BUT ITS A PROBLEM NOW :head bang:
on the good side ive got the vetter bags monted and not far from done :yahoo: :mrgreen: im very happy with how this is set up and works the bags are removable easy and the hardware dosnt look out of place when bags are off ....i like the way there made to cover my rusty air shocks and go all the way back to the rear lights theres good room inside the bags and the lids open from the side and they have a key operation and i got one this a good plus ...i couldnt be any more pleased :good: :yes:
the exhast is going to be extended so it will go all the way back to the end of the trailer hitch when i made the exhast it was a totaly stock naked 79 wing and i thought the short er exhast looked good on the naked wing but now its about in the middle of the vetter bags ....this will be no big deal with the way my exhast is set up....
andyb bike inspired new thoughts about what im going to try and do ....the way i monted the fairing before there were just 2 bolts to take out and it came off right down to the forks ...this time im going to try slide in slot from the front to mont the fairing and slide off just as easy ....do my speedo and tack up nice and rig up a naked look light to go when i want ....the bike has pretty good line and look to it with the fairing off and bags and trunk on :good:
k:
the trunk ive got on there is an after market trunk like ~O~ trunk and i like it a lot ....i have the vetter trunk but for now im staying with the ~O~trunk
i wish two fork legs from an 80 or 81 1100 with new progressive springs and a fork brace would jus t fall out of the sky in my yard..... :mrgreen:
tires would be nice to with the forks :mrgreen: im going to try 130 /90-18 on the front and i would like to try 160 or 150 80 16 in the back ...this will take some further modifing on the swingarm ....but imight just go with 140 90 16 just so i can keep the work load down aqnd get riding....
if anybody got some old progressive springs out there let me know ineed seals and bushing to fork brace that will fit 80 81 forks....this is wishful thinking but you never know ...the only thing i know is i dont have much money :smilie_happy:
