Only vehicle, daily riden. never set in traffic, not even once. Lol.

Slight weight reduction, EBC street racer clutch and heavy duty springs, hella (extremely yellow) headlight. Otherwise stock. More to come, collecting parts for a Mikuni vm carbie swap.

Nice, this post was top of the site just now. Last night I was looking at oversized 1 1/8 bars, definitely going to do that eventually. This whole time I thought they were that wide all the way, and thought it was really dukh, didn't realize why anyone would do that..... Just in the center and then they taper down to standard 7/8 or 1". They look really good like high end MTB bicycle bars. Just need to find the right bars. Want highish flat track bars. Probably 2" less rise than factory bars.

They're all aluminum, so slight weight reduction there too, but probably not much as they're all really thick tubing it looks like. Not sure, really not in for the weight reduction on that particular part. Back when I use to do bicycle stunts I've snapped several handlebars.... Normally I wreck right after. Lol. Once I didnt. Anyways I want them looking all chrome though like the stock ones, it's a nice old school look. Really like the pro taper ones but theyre painted black.... Not sure if you can even chrome aluminum.... Will have to look that up. Might just get the pro taper ones and have them chromed if thats possible. Worst case the silver anodized finishes look nearly as good as chrome. Will admit, I'm completely sold on these fat bars, looks really really good. The other bicycle thing I'd like to incorporate is Allen head bolts instead of screws because they're just better and you'll never see a screw on nice bicycle other than on the derailleur if it has one and that's for adjustment.

Okay rant over.

Found and tightened/replaced more missing bolts last night. Definitely check your exhaust pipe bolts and nuts
