Tri-bar headlight or rear shocks from cb750cafe.com?
« on: February 25, 2009, 12:35:47 PM »
Anyone running these? Thoughts (likes/dislikes)?

Im in need of something brighter for my headlight and this seems like it will do the job. Same for my rear shocks. They could use a little stiffening and I really like the looks of those on the site. I saw a set on Ebay of something similar but the measurement was 12" eye to eye and I didnt want to lower the bike that much in the back.

Heres the link to the parts for those who may not know.

I'm running the tri-bar light.  It's much brighter than the stocker.  I'm also a fan of the Works shocks Carpy is selling.  They're made to order.  I don't know what price Carpy is setting, do you.  I think that the price for Works shocks with the piggy back reservoir go for about $600.

hmm, now its going to take me weeks to pick a combo of style and color. All black, all chrome, chrome with black spring, black with chrome spring...the possibilities are endless.

The tri-bar light is a definite. I want a better light.
