New bike, now what?
« on: October 11, 2006, 05:32:46 PM »
Can I be trusted to leave well enough alone, or should I cafe' it?



Should add, it's a bit rougher than the pic's indicate.

I've got a set of Clubman's and Drag bars under the bench, definitely a cheap start.

Should add...'74 750K, 39k miles.

I agree.
A set of low(er) bars will really make that scoot look better..

That's a very red looking bike you've got there. Very nice.

Being a fan of 'stock' I would concur with the others. Just put some lower bars on it.

looks pretty.

I guess it depends on what you want to do on it.  I like my stock (but troublesome) '78.  I can think of nothing better for the daily commute on a high-desert Interstate...
