Without you members I wouldn't have had a clue of how to transform this bike with all the up graded accessories . BIG thanks to yourself and all the others with all the techniqual support and ideas . I'll post more pictures once I unleash MA-DEUCE this weekend .

Thanks guys ..... Ratman don't know why the bag picture didn't up load will provide one tonight , though .
KW , still no sound out of the pipes ..... LOL .... This weekend I'll pull her out , gas her up and FINALLY get to hear that roadhouse exhaust . Man I'm beyond anxious to hear it  ::) . After buttoning everything back up I noticed the exhaust tip screw was rubbing against the rear fender so I added some rubber grommets between the bolts on the back canister mount , to push the muffler farther out a tad . This worked out nicely , for me .

Very sharp Drift 1...have we cranked up the roadhouse yet?....the chrome downpipes connected to the black canister are a good combination based on your paint scheme.
Again, very sharp.

The bags will be installed in the near future , but I have MA-DEUCE all back together and will be taking her out of hibernation this weekend ...... YEEAAHHHHH  ;D :D ;) .... Any ways here's a sneak peak of her

by virtue of our new Wing Padre and the story I shall one day tell you.......and you will love it.

But think of this he had to attend a class I was teaching for safe Driving, later I had to attend a mandated course he was part of dealing with family violence and mostly dealing with Teenage children. I'll let you figure out the rest. Or at Drift in over a nice cold pop I'll tell you the story

Notice Troll never gets involved in these issues he just sits back and flames the fire when it gets boring for him, and 49 he is moving snow or out playing with the squatches......

Squatches???

  Ok let me just say that PC is very safe at the present time, Chief because he can add me to the watch list is also very safe, but now GB he is on that slippery slope, but he is like my little brother, so I'll leave that alone..........

D1.......what can I say.......stir the pot some more, try and get to me...you will leave the rest alone.......oh and I have sent a letter to Aiden you are in for it now......

Richie old man we are heading in opposite directions on our rides so I would not be needing to steal your ideas, and I am not in the position to spend beaucoup dollars, so do it myself with Dave's guidance,  and all my parts other then the rear spring are here and ready to install. But I can post a few pictures of me working late in my shop coat, for you............

WOW ! See what I mean GB ? He's already getting worked up , and accusing me of referring to him as stealing ideas . No such thing ! Ideas are for all my fellow riders to enjoy  , and if need be follow suite . Now there's projects that may , or may not  be the look I'm after , but there are those that I have used from others .

So haha buddie I too have mystery projects and I'm not telling NANANANANA  ;D

Hey Richie, I found the perfect helmet for your bike for next spring.  I was at the Iron Pony, our local bike accessory shop over the weekend.  I was looking for some ideas for a certain secret project I'm working on....  (Oh, Dont' tell Ratman- like you said, it will drive him nutty about January trying to figure it out...)

ANYWAYS, found this helmet and thought of YOU.....

Here's the link, but I got better pics in the store....
