After months of waiting the rear-sets I ordered finally arrived and on they went. I was worried as to how the kick start was going to interact with the brake pedal and peg. I have found that if I flip the peg up and instead of using a bolt to affix the pedal to the linkage, I will just use a pin with a cotter pin for quick removal so I will be able to rotate the pedal out of the way.







I can not wait to get out and give it a ride... With just the sitting on it in the garage test it feels good.

So I made a little modification. Decided to chop up what I think is a "D" model front fender and I am pleased with the results. It is lighter and looks cooler. Win/win.

Good golly. This is a phenomenal bike.

Bikers are a rare breed.
Harley riders are a dime a dozen.

I wondered if you were still riding that beast.
I hadn't read any of your posts lately.
