Good choice. :2tup:

How long before that grin disappears from your ugly face ?? :biggrin: :crackup

Looks like it's pretty much stock.....except maybe for the seat....and those accursed grips.
I'll be interested to see how you like them.

I just changed mine back to stock and added foam sleeves; SOOooo much better.

If anyone messes with the odometer the mileage numbers will not stay in a straight line.The paddle on your throttle is called a"throttle rocker" and is used to prevent wrist fatigue on longer trips.

Good looking bike and you look good on it. Give it a good going over with your tools to check for loose items and do a service to get familiar with things. It'll make your bike smile.

Nope. Those are only end caps.

The left one is just glued on.
The right one comes with a throttle "sleeve" that the cables connect to.
A stock set costs about $70. Foam covers: $15.
Shop labor to put them on: $10......but my left one was loose already.

P.S. The bar weights are INSIDE the end of the bars; don't try to remove them unless you REALLY need to. They are tricky.
