Re: Patrick's bikes

Thanks! It gets addicting after one!

The following images are huge to piss Pete off.

Just to prove I can do left handed turns:



Also, did some work on the shadow today. Still got a lot to do to finish up the bars but it is way more comfortable to sit on with these bars compared to the old ones and my hands are not turned at a weird angle. These bars are off a stock shadow 1100 and are more drag style. Taller and less bend back = win! I also replaced the chain and sprockets on it and went dropped down to a 38 tooth rear for better highway cruising rpms. Black chain looks pimpin.

I had to take off the front wheel because it kept leaking after I put on the new tires and tubes. Found out the inner tube was pinched at the valve stem causing it to leak very fast. SSB replaced it for free.


Nasty front sprocket full of luuuuuube


Best $92 tool ever! Motion pro PBR, well worth the money. This is my 2nd chain I've done with ease because of this tool.


Easy peasy comes out the pin.


And out in no time


Front sprocket area cleaned up a little with a new JT front sprocket 17t


Factory 41t rear sprocket


Comparision


New rear 38t JT steel sprocket. Looks extremely tiny.


bling bling!


Putting the master link on. Dat black chain doe.




New bars from behind. Giggity.


Side profile. Starting to look more like an American Badass Edition and not an American Classic Edition.


You can really see the height difference. Perfect for my short torso and arms for an upright position. No apes, those are stupid.


I still need to solder the wires into the bars to clean it up and get some front signals and some mirrors. I also need to try and lube the choke cable (giggity goo!) and change out the plugs.
