The lowers are homemade mounted on Memphis Shades hardware. They work beautifully... no buffeting, very little turbulence, great comfort. I had bought the MS lowers but found they didn't really do the trick so made up the bigger ones you see to go with the MS mounts.

Normally I ride with my sweetheart on the back with her pillion seat. When this pic was taken I was on a long distance ride to see my Mom. On such a ride I use the fender rack to mount my luggage.

That is a sweet looking bike. I really like the red accent on the brake rotors. Did you have them powder coated? And are those the colored brake line from newbonnieville.com? If so any issues?

I just used a rattle can on those rotors. As for the brake lines, yeah I think I did order those through Brent at newspeedmaster.com. I've had no issues with them whatsoever.

Oh no, Bill... I took the rotors off one winter a while back and painted them in a whole separate space from where the tires were. But yeah, had I painted them in place I guess you could say I was brave to take that on. Or stupid perhaps.

Keith, did you have the bags painted or did you just luck out on finding the color?

They sure do. Mine are on the shelf, not quite working well with my new "theme". However there are some ideas popping up in my head now and then...

That is one purdy bike Keith. The bags really set it off. Love the whitewalls on both rims also. That is a classy ride.

Keith, there only has to be one bike in North America like yours. She's a real stunner. And I believe we rode together out of Castelgar a couple of years ago. I rode up from western Washington to visit and ride with a friend, Gord, from Castlegar.

Sweet Keith, but too much Red.It should be Blue The chrome strips on the swingarm are a good look.I've always thought the original swingarm looks a little agricultural on our bikes.The chrome strips fix that
