Sold my '09 8V and planned to buy a red 2015 in a year or so but my loopframe spit a u-joint and I saw this bike on Craigslist...

First ride today and the bike is a little rough around the edges. Thanks to Beetle the map can be installed tomorrow along with a valve check and careful synch. Today's fashionable accessories include factory flyscreen, bag mounts and rear rack. I put on Knight design lowered footpegs, my custom big boy seat (Pirate upholstery). I narrowed the front turn signals and put on grip puppys and a go-cruise throttle lock. The bike has a set of new Pilot road 2 tires and a tail tidy.

Neat looking 1100! Complete with frame tattoo. They don't look like stock bars?

The mirrors say EMGO so I am going to go out on a limb and say they are not stock Very Happy

Dunno about the bars but they are wide as hell, as were my '09 bars in black.

Has anyone found with front fork reflectors, that its a good idea to take them of to prevent corrosion ? Its always advice given to Buell xb owners which also have showa forks, seemingly water must be held behind them and slowly oxidises the aluminium
