- May 04, 2015, 09:30:10 AMMy brother and I took a ~10hr ride yesterday all over including the Wellesly Island, Clayton and Cape Vincent up at the 1000 Islands.
We stopped at my Uncles Park (Island Shadows) to show him the bike and he was just in awe of it. He told me to hang on and came back out with a picture of him as a kid on his Indian! he then went around comparing it to his and told me how he had to stand on the kick start with both feet, how the throttle did not "snap back" so it was effectively used as a cruise control, how the seat was "the rear shocks", etc., etc.
And of course, on the way home, I got several compliments when stopping for gas and a quite a few stares a few "thumbs up" when pulling alongside cars and a couple groups of bikers.

Seriously though, it looks good! Is it just a 'glue on' piece of fringe?
EDIT: Ooops, I see you've already answered my question.

- April 29, 2015, 08:48:40 AMPut on the Zambini Indian head over the weekend. I took the tire off so I could put locking lug nuts on so others can't steal it. Looks great and am glad I went that route. Next will be the Zambini tank emblems once it gets a little warmer.

- April 12, 2015, 20:17:14 PMTook her out today on a beautiful, 60 degree, sunny day and put on 150 miles. Amazing how much better it handles with treads!
She ran like a top

- April 12, 2015, 20:12:55 PMI figured since I had the tires and fenders off, I might as well change the oil, put on new brakes pads and add Franks mudflaps and fender bib (inside the house where it was warm and where it could sit for 24hrs). And before anyone asks, I used Buds idaho jack adapter to lift the bike...works like a charm!
