Here's a pic of Bessie (pre grab bar mod and screens) -DD you are the man!!!. Thanks for the web & pic. One question for ya, maybe 2. Does that pipe discolor the swing arm? Looks close to it. Alright 2nd question,lol. Does the mods only effect the underside of the tail? I see that the top painted section is intacted... Damn a 3rd question,lol Will the wife feel the heat of that pipe and burn her legs? She has 2 scares from the Muzzy...lol
The SgtMaj raised an eyebrow to me about the very same thing.....The comment followed, "didn't you get that outta your system as a young Marine"......Thanks -
I get some crap from the command about riding, we've had a few squids (idiots, not Sailors) get hurt/killed by not wearing gear, taking blind curves at 100+ etc., so my leadership example has been questioned in the past......especially as an instructor. Bessie treats me right, though. Best bike I have owned!
Tattoos........The way I figure it, I wear all my gear, keep my bike maintained and usually keep within sight of the speed limit. There are a lot of worse examples out there.....of course, then there are the tattoos, which I have no excuse for!
Sweet Ride. I'll look into the high mount. I like how far back it sits under the rear foot rests. I pick my blue and silver up tonight... yee haaaaaaa...Here's a pic of Bessie (pre grab bar mod and screens) -DD you are the man!!!. Thanks for the web & pic. One question for ya, maybe 2.

I have had the Dual devils on her for two years, no discoloring of the swing arm, no problems with the plastic - and certainly, no burns (my wife rides with my fairly regularly).
Hope this helps.....
Hey MC, I noticed your seat. I like it. where'd you get that back rest? Is that a whole new seat? Hook me up with a link to it if you can. I could use that on my long trips.Here's a pic of Bessie (pre grab bar mod and screens) -DD you are the man!!!. Thanks for the web & pic. One question for ya, maybe 2.

Thanks. Blue and silver is my favorite scheme. I won't say that they are the fastest colors, 'cause everyone knows it, so I don't have to.Sweet Ride. I'll look into the high mount.

Tobin's seats don't interfere with the passenger seat, but without the hump you won't have any support for the hump pad.Just got back and the kids are climbing all over it...lol Thanks for the info on the seat. Can I still use the passenger seat with the tobin front seat?

But I don't have a rear from Tobin (yet), so when my wife rides with me, it is just the stock seat for her.
