KAWABUSER, Your sister was wearing the C.J. Streamers last weekend. The Harley rep at the tent said that the color of the streamers denotes the price??? whatever that means!!! YEE-HAW

Compared with many other motorcycles, it is very difficult to install handlebar streamers on the Hayabusa.

Here's how to do it right.

The plug-in type plastic or aluminum streamer must be modified as follows: Pop rivet the streamer strands together about 1 inch from the plastic plug. Cut the plastic plug off. Soak the 1 inch streamer stub in epoxy glue and allow to cure. Drill a 3/16" hole in the cured stub at the 1/2" point. Add a dome washer to your bar endbalancer screws and affix to the bar endbalancers with no more than 5 ft-lb torque.

Using this method, you can expect 1,000 miles per streamer set/city, and 500-750 miles/ highway for vinyl streamers. Double that for the shiny aluminum ones. Results will vary according to the quality of streamer set installed, so this is not the time to cheap out.

Does anyone have any experience with the ways that different colored streamer sets affect a) the attitudes of cops when they pull you over, b) the babes, c) aerodynamics or d) Hell's Angels?

Has anyone done 200 mph with streamers on? What percentage of the strands were lost or damaged?

Which streamer colors go best with black Busas? Copper Busas? If they bring the red Busa to North America in 2000, what colors would be best...we need to start pressuring the manufacturers now.

Personally, I keep a number of different colored streamer sets close at hand (even some in the hump) and interchange them according to my moods or if I want to alter the headspace that I'm in. One time I put orange on my brake side and lime green on my clutch side, but switched back to blue quickly after getting into an altercation with my wife.

This weekend, I am being given a skunkworks prototype set of carbon fiber streamers for testing and will report back on them.

I can't beleive what I am reading. Is this guy for real. Why would you want to do that. First of all I can't see it looking good, second causes wind drag and slows you down, third beats the poop out of your arms while riding. Well thats enough said I have to clean off my monitor where I spit coffee on it after reading this and laughing so hard.
