- November 12, 2013, 21:24:45 PMI didn't know what a nacelle was. At least not on a bike. Time to hit up google for pictures.
(Edit) I just googled them. I've seen those before. Never realized what I was looking at. It all makes sense now...
I really like the Kury grips. I didn't ride much at all with the old ones so I don't have much of a comparison, but the new ones are great. I hated the old ones. Seem to be less felt vibration, and the larger diameter is really nice. Plus with the raised cushioned part it seems like you don't have to grip as hard to hold the throttle at a certain position. I'm glad they come in black though. Chrome wouldn't look right on the blacked out drifters. I think you'll like them.

- November 12, 2013, 20:15:38 PMcould not find that mod here but I have it as a word doc so once I figure it out I'll get it posted here, not sure who the actual builder was for this project.
I went to the new grips and think they are larger and went with the idea of golf grips that the bigger grips better for arthritic hands.....

- November 12, 2013, 18:09:48 PMRatman I do believe that nacelle mod is on here as well . Pastor dude posted it up .Should be in the mod section and you think your not a computer genius man trying using these 10 thumbs lol
Soooo you have the rear sprocket complete , heh . Good for you , you already installed a new chain when you did the front didn't you ? I can't remember , but pretty sue you said it was done ? How do them grips feel ? I'm a victim of the right hand numbness myself . partially due to military and a lot to do with running chainsaws for the past 16 years .

- November 12, 2013, 17:54:20 PMThanks D1, I am sure it is all doable over the winter, other then the valves, but I have a certified Kawasaki mechanic who is going to help me, learn by doing the work.
gdrudd13; grips came today from Value Accessories, bought the Kuryakyn Black ISO 6345 like you, but I passed on the throttle boss, I tried one and just could not get comfortable with it. If I am right there is like a 1" difference in the diameter between the grips so this should help my numb right hand, like putting arthritic grips on a golf club.
A nacelle is that cover behind the headlight in front of the forks that hides all them cables and hoses, found it on the Drifter Riders Forum, on the delphiforums. I have it saved to a word document but can not figure how to pass them on to anyone...lol.....computer genius is not me...
Sprockets are done, just waiting for the rear shock to close up the back of the bike.

- November 11, 2013, 22:50:11 PMWhat grips are you going with? I have the black Kury Iso grips and they look nice and are very comfortable. I also put on a matching black throttle boss. This was well worth it. At least till I get some sort of cruise control.
And what did you mean by "nacelle"?
