What brand are the tank grips and how do you like them? they're Eazi-grip; another thing from the previous owner. they look pretty knobbly but due to that, they seem to grip most pantleg materials quite well. i'm not too much of a tank grips person so i probably wouldn't have gotten them for myself but since i already have them, i do like them.

TheLoneReader Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 to everyone saying i should do the wheels/tank/fender, i'mma hold off on them for now. there is, after all, such a thing as too much. but they're not off the table for in the future if i want to add more. (plus i kinda like the not-really-bronze of the wheels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine, if you will: you're a reasonably confident man's man out for a day of manning on your Harley manmobile™. You're getting pretty into it on the curves; your black leather apparel creaks with almost--but not quite--sexual charge against the gentle pressures of Mistress Tarmac. Your chrome glints masculine appeal onto the scenery around you, and your exhaust leaves a faint musk of testosterone hovering above the pavement. all of a sudden, you hear it. a banshee wail from the depths of depravity sounds out behind you. a glint of headlights in your rear mirror. It's coming. the high scream of a v4 in full thrust counterpoints the rumbling of your cruiser in weird and arcane beats and harmonies. you try to outrun it, you try to push your way down into the lean, but the monster pounces on you, like a Puma, or a Jaguar on a wounded doe. a flash of plastic, a blur of pink, and an eldritch horror from the Barbie aisle surpasses you--you!--like you're standing still. in embarrassment, you limp your way home and vow never to speak of this moment, lest your masculinity, machismo, your very raison d'être shatter and fall around you from the titanic blow it has received. You will wait. you will recover. and you will hope the pink monster never finds you again... Mate, I don't know what you're smoking.???? Sorry to say, BUT I have never heard such Bullsh@t.

mikem317 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Well, to each his or her own? Back in my 20s, I would go a bit overboard on the farkling of whatever machine I had, be it cars, motorcycles, etc. As I've grown older, I think "less is more" and do some subtle upgrades but try to keep it close to stock.
