Pics of shock mod please. I'll bet it feels better under aggressive turns on rough pavement.

I'm lazy and Dr_Doom already has a thread with good pics:

His thread was very helpful for installing mine. If you have a center stand, to put the shock on I just put the bike on the center stand, and put a block under the rear tire.

That bike is loaded. I like it. Where did you get the pipe from? Would you choose that again or a leo?

Muffler is a danmoto GP conical. It was cheap and light. I haven't heard the Leo, but I like the danmoto sound. I might actually be switching to a new muffler soon, if you're interested in the conical.

I forgot to reply. Let me know what you want for it.

I bought some saddle bags, the dowco fastrax elite. Need a tail bag and cant decide to match with same brand or buy a motocentric or nelson rigg. What would you go with?

I don't wash bikes. If it's nice enough to wash, it's nice enough to ride.

Looking good. Like the flat black.

Did the same on mine. Did you encounter the same problem as I did. The left side of mine peg is on pretty tight. It doesn't slide as smooth as ts supposed to.

Both of mine rotate smoothly. Did you coat the hinge pin too? If so, maybe it got too thick and needs sanded down.

No just the peg. I'm thinking and taking It off and maybe inspecting it. See why it's getting stuck.
