But I did install the new handlebars (beware of the controls on the left side of the hawk..there is a thingy that fits into a hole on the stock bars that will annoy the hell out of you). Also, I installed the replacement shifter, which was a big improvement - still easy to get to and out of the way, so my boots don't accidentally hit it. I gained some skills today, and I plan to go back to it gradually as my body adapts. But man, it was FUN.  |
Where'd ya go, Zap? People are starting to think you're an AI bot...
