Well you all remember my bike as Al's bike. And here's how it looked when Al had it: (which looked great btw!!)



And here it is now after 'tweaking' it a little to fit me better:





Al did a wonderful job making this bike his own and the impeccable maintenance and condition of the bike sold me on it. But of course, I had to make it my own

My future/winter plans include powdercoating a few parts such as rear fender brackets, bars and risers, and possibly the wheels and front lower forks.

I currently have fork gaiters and tank knee pads that are ready to install when I get some free time not spent riding.

It fits you well!


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
