Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Chrome Plated Idle Adjustment Cover

Hey Gang!! A lot of people have suggested we make a cover for the black plastic idle adjustment knob. We've taken those suggestions and made this; A chrome plated idle adjust cover that really covers up an eye sore on the left side.

Sigh.... when Xmas is over, and I finally know how many more classes my son will be taking at Wyotech, you will be getting an order or 2....

In the meantime, here's something to consider.... an adjustable luggage rack for the sissy bar. Or, a clamp-on extension of some sort, chrome and clean looking.

I am not a saddlebag fan. I have a Nelson-Riggs bag on my sissybar rack. Problem is, when it isn't stuffed full, it droops down and covers part of the license plate. An extended (just 2 inches or so) sissybar rack or clamp-on extension, would prevent that.



Put that on your list, buddy.....

Dang it Brent, now I have to add something else to Xmas order. Better send it before you come up with something else. And thanks for listening to our suggestions.

Grump,
I don’t like the look of saddlebags either. I’m gonna get a sissybar pack either like yours, "Nelson Rigg" or a “TBag”. Both brands offer similar features, but one is made from nylon and the other is polyester. My question is which fabric is better?

Kenny,

I have no idea..... I'd go with the one which has the features you want and is waterproof......

Don, Ken,

Take a gander at these. BagTec - "The bags that don't sag" (?) - or so they say.

Cool thanks! I'll e-mail the link to my mom She's always looking for stocking stuffers for me.

We were actually able to see these during our tour of Brent's shop during the Texas get together in Jefferson. The way these things attach to the knob is pretty clever.

Any word on whether or not ya'll are making the tribal solo finishers?

Darn you, darn you to hell...with all of my money. (Insert shaking fist)

I just emailed the link to my number 1 daughter. Hint, Hint for Christmas

if i had a clue where that was on the bike i probably would buy one pretty bad when i call brent and he knows my credit card number off the top of his head

pssst brent two words chrome side cover oops three words

Hi Brent,
Stop It!!! Just Stop It!!!!
I am trying to retire in the next few years. I am sure you are too, but I am 52 now! I need a little space, time and money. Every time I thnk Vera is perfect, you release something else I gotta have.

Hi Stern - 2words = "chrome sidecover" simple - i can fix anything.

Barry,

If I remember correctly, the Nelson-Riggs bag wasn't supposed to sag either. It has a cloth covered piece of cardboard or something that velcro's to the bottom, but the narrow and short sissybar rack makes it droop like an old lady's, er, well it droops....
A guy I work with has an old Suzuki and it has an adjustable sissybar rack with a big black ugly knob on each side that holds the sliding part in place. I don't know if the demand would be enough to make it worth Brent's consideration, but it sure would be nice to have a fix for this..... I may end up doing it myself, one of these days....

One of the guys I've ridden with in the past (the same HD mechanic that sells me tires), uses a chunk of plywood on his luggage rack to help support his duffle bag.

Classy. (It's the cheapest HD accessory ever, though it's not an "official" branding bit of HD kit.)

Outstanding! Now that's customer service (insert mental picture of Buddy Jesus from "Dogma")

My next suggestion: a chromed linkage clamp for engine-end of the shifter rod. C'mon Brent...pretty please???
