@po9n nice bike you have. I love the all black and nice saddlebag. Where did you get that windshield?

 

[Sixshooter]

It's an MRA available at RevZilla in the U.S.

 

[po9n]

It was temporarily closed section of the road (left side on the first photo).

Thanks for the info @Sixshooter

Done for touring. Shield, foglights, highway pegs, Corbin, tank bib to hold stuff, bags, top trunk. Torqmasters for some grunt.

Nice looking bike. You have some nice extras, grips, pegs, seat, bags, rear rack. Whomever installed your windshield did a nice job getting it set parallel the fork tubes. That works and looks best. Nice bike

 

[Jammin'John]

Thanks.
It's got the bars moved way back,
a crazy LOUD horn, 2 horns of different pitch
pegs are lower and forward,
highway pegs move,
the aux. lights are the real bright ones
Torq Loopz
Madstad 20" Medium Smoke
Fancy grips

That's my Winter Rat Vulcan.

Not much riding available lately.

tug hill - Google Search

But Monday and Tuesday it will be low 40's for part of the very short day. 30's and dark on the way home.
What keeps me not riding is my road gets heavily sanded.
I am OK with 30's and 40's but not with falling on wet sand,pine needles,and wet leaves !

How did you do that?

 

[Jammin'John]

How did you do that?

I don't know. It was done by the last owner. They are real handlebars and they are perfect.

I got mine last Friday, took it apart, cleaned it and replaced the air filter for a K&N and while at it, put some lights in. Yesterday i washed it and today I waxed it. Its ready to ride now. Very neglected by previous owner. Just about 6K miles on it. Later im going to put some clear protective wrap on the front wind impact sites to protect the plastic from fading. But this is it for now.
Pics in order are of it filthy inside as i started cleaning it, then after all done and waxed and clean, then of the many parts to remove to change filter and finally with the night lights on.

 

[Sixshooter]

Looks like she had a rough 6k, glad you rescued her. Did it live on a dirt road?
Nice work, dig right in and tackle those difficult plastic parts. Mine still are not aligned/fastened properly.

 

[BudgetBiker]

Yeah im missing a grommet for a side panel. I ordered some. Those little plastic push pins are easy to break but i have a stock of them handy.

My guess since it was purchased in Kerrvill, TX that the bike was on a ranch or something and stored in a barn maybe. No point washing your cars if dust blows in every few minutes.

They probably went to change air filter, realized what it entailed and was like "Nope!" And traded it in. It had cob webs under the fenders and loads of dead wasps and bug up inside.

What a shame to let a beautiful bike get so filthy and neglected. Glad you took her in and gave her some love! Look forward to hearing more from you.

I'm super glad that you're an expert at this now. Let me know when I can drop mine off

 

[BudgetBiker]

Yeah, i got the process down and the best order to do it. No shortcuts, just do it right and methodical. Lay the parts out in order. Like Legos but less expensive. Legos are their weight in gold these days. 😆

So update, which really i need to post in mods i think but i got the grommet kit on Amazon and replaced that and also installed the bottom protective plate someone mentioned. 5min install, super easy.

How are those bags mounted, i dont see the OEM brackets. Looking for options on what to do myself.

It was custom brackets:

And later like this:

Also when I had a trip with my girlfriend, i made bolt-on trunk replacement ant put the bag:
