Day off and farkels

Post by nylife »

today was too nice outside to go to work, so I called in sick and went riding...

But i also took some time to install a few farkels lol.

I liked the ilium shifter extension so much that i had to get one for the brake

Then i also got this to protect the throttle body connection

not done yet, i have been looking for a while at the shaft slider and they all kind of expensive, until i came across this on eBay

and figured for the money why not give it a try

it looks good my only slight concern is that its all metal(aluminium), usually they have some rubber to absorb the hit if any, but it was cheap enough and looks good.
Also thanks to the customs and post office screw up i ended up with 2 of them, so if anyone is interested contact me.
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects handlebars to the saddle.

I hope your boss doesn't read this forum!

I like those ilium shifter / brake extensions. Might have to get some of those.

What oil filler cap is that, it looks nice!

More likely the eye patch and do-rag from the pirate outfit makes it difficult to read or see anything. :roll:
