The nice thing about bikes like yours is you CAN leave em stock and like it!




this is a good point, Benny. i have a short list of wannado's; but my initial intention with frankie was to leave him pure stock for the first year. however a couple of scary-close encounters on my way to work yesterday have changed the time line on that.

frankie has to start making some noise. at first i was happy with his hush-hush way of moving across the pavement. not so happy with that right now. looking at a couple of options for new slip ons.

the other changes in mind are: custom saddle, new grips, straighter bar and maybe rear sets. i think the handlebar swap might alleviate my desire for the rear sets, all remains up in the air for now.
