Nope, that would be late summer, early fall

Dax · 10-01-2009, 09:50 AM

doh you're right. Winter is back to T-shirts and shorts!

sk8rod · 10-01-2009, 11:04 AM

pass me my gun,, gonna shoot me a feckin monkey

riskyhutch · 10-01-2009, 12:58 PM

well the plan was to go to a 21" front, new lights and internal wired bars but this shed of a bike that we have got for my lad will be taking up the workshop space and time. The TZR needs a full strip and frame spray so the from mid Oct the Bob is going into storage for the winter to keep it safe.

Unimoose · 10-07-2009, 06:48 AM

I was hoping to do paint this winter but I don't see it as being in the works.

Oh well shiite happens. Right now I'm looking at a set of Ohlins to replace my rear shocks and sending my stock 2 up seat to Mean City Cycles for some love. Maybe one or two other small things but nothing post worthy.

sk8rod · 10-07-2009, 06:55 AM

you kidding,, ohlins are ace

which ones ya looking for?

and that seat sounds interesting also,, yup your gonna have to post up on those two

Still talking to the guy about the Ohlins, he's helping me get the ones that best suit me without making me buy ones that I won't need. Mean City did my H-D badlander seat with the flame detail and double memory foam. The stock 2 up seat is just going to be double memory foam front and back but look stock.

sk8rod · 10-07-2009, 10:58 PM

Ohlins 36e would be my bet as the next up are the piggy back type and they would run to close on $1500 I reckon.

Then again I dunno how much they generally cost in the US, over here it makes no sense as I can get them cheaper than Bos can

The 36e's it is! No need for a piggy back or reservoir.

Getting the yellow springs but having them CHROMED!!!! Yeah, that's right CHROMED!
