| Training Wheels | Like I told Justin, for now going as close to stock, just forming a baseline. I love these 60's & 70's bikes and the simplicity of function + style that 'Standards' have. They were the backbone of the times for manufacturers, from these humble bikes came the TT racers, the Cafe, the Chopper, the Touring, the Trail, and the SuperBike (early motoGP). So I am not sure yet. Might just let her shine as she was made too. I do plan on finding a windshield for upcoming rain seasons and highway frame bars so if she "tips-over" it will be less engine and more cosmetic damage. Less expensive repairs mean more time in the wind. |

Trying to find some good curvy roads, thus far I'm only seeing straight country roads I ride a 2006 DRZ400SM; get a lot a funny looks around here. I'm trying to keep my inner hooligan at bay.
