    Looks awesome Hank!!! I like the black side covers. I talked . out of doing them. She wanted to but I told her it wouldn't look good.

    I was wrong...There's a first time for everything. :lol:

    ~ is the man, he knows the stuff on that subject, ask him to give you the details. BTW I went to Reger to finish his fork installation with heavier springs and the customer service was great.

    No go on the link. I get an incomplete page from TT and no matter what other link I choose, it simply refreshs the screen.

    I'd double check anything from TT with another site.I stopped going to TT,too many kids talking about rap music,how your bike sucks, and backwords 1920's views.This site is way better less bull and the kids here have a little more respect.

    Amen!! We try and keep them in line. Simple stuff like spelling. Not using numbers for words. They come around after awhile because they need info and see they can get it if they speak with respect.

    BTW- Rowher was epic today, beautiful weather and very few riders. Might be back out Sat or Sun if you can do it.

    That is one of the nicest looking 230's I have seen. Santa is going to bring my wife some black plastics for her 230.

    Question for you, are those the stock bars on it?
