Ok Just what did the bike get for X mass... - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Dave Nadeau · 12-26-2006, 05:42 AM

My C50 got the Suzuki passenger foot boards, a windshield bag and saddle bag liners. No more caring my stuff into work in plastic grocery bags. The wife loves the floor boards. Went out 8 A.M. Christmas morning for a 1/2 hr or so. About 30 deg. and with no humindity to speak of...very raw even dressed for it BRRR!!

Ha Dave I see your back to work. If you have some money left over get one of these looks good and I'm keeping them on during the spring and fall.

NoPork.com Store

Just bought a pair of ISO grips but I have to do some reading on how to install them.

DrBob · 12-26-2006, 10:43 AM

I ordered some stuff for the shovelhead, but it did not come in yet. I ordered a replacement spotlight (one of mine is stratched), a replacement NOS three-rail luggage rack (currently have an aftermarket one on there), a replacement knob for the throttle lock (broke it last week), and a set of stainless steel brake rotors (the old ones are showing their age).
I also bought the parts to install a new clutch in my sweetie's Intruder 1400.
Nothing too exciting.

Oh, the ISO grips are a snap to put on. Just follow the enclosed directions, and make sure the handlebar is 100% clean before you glue on the left grip.

I quess we'll spend the winter months getting our bike all dolled up for spring. I've poured a little bit of money on mind.
Still waiting for my Rifle windsheild and lowers. Ordered them 20 days before christmas and they went on christmas break before filling in all there back log. That sucks, I know I wasn't going to use it BUT not the point.

rathr-b-cruisin · 12-26-2006, 05:24 PM

I ordered one of these

And i also got a nice bike cover for it. I'm on the verge of buying the mustang seats too.

Dave Nadeau · 12-26-2006, 06:45 PM

4dtvman,
Where did you get the Cobra bars and how much did you pay, IF you don't mind me asking?

4dtvman · 12-26-2006, 06:59 PM

I know your not going to believe me but I looked on ebay and the victory dealer in Foxboro had them listed since some one ordered them and didn't pick them up. And I was the only one to bid on them. So I got them for 119, drove there and picked them up. He had some good prices on foot pegs so got them there too.
He got alot of bike and the Victory LOOK NICE

Rickster · 12-27-2006, 08:45 AM

NICE!

If I had as many bikes as you do, I wouldn't know which one to buy for and I wouldn't want to make the other jealious.

tallannie · 12-27-2006, 11:58 AM

Oh..!.. I forgot... Frank and I are awaiting delivery of our Collet communicators... should be this week...(and yes, he LIKES chatting with me...lol). When we test them out I will post a review here. Annie

azkober · 12-28-2006, 05:24 PM

Kuriyakin grips for my RSTD, the wife got a luggage rack and tassels for her V-Star 650

nateW · 12-28-2006, 07:04 PM

Bike got a few new items for the season. Most recent for Christmas are the easy brackets for the saddle bags.
They went on easy and the only real difference other than removable is the extra 2 inches of gap between the frame and the bags.

And if anyone needs them. I have a set of the factory saddle bag brackets.

I'll take some pics later if anyone wants to see the spacing and angles.

Damn. I didn't realize how much you can't clean on the back end with bags in place. LOL

tallannie · 12-28-2006, 07:57 PM

OKAY ! This should be an image of my Langlitz Leather jacket for Christmas !! Annie

dragbar · 12-29-2006, 02:43 AM

I kinda feel bad now realizing I didn't buy my bike a present. I'll have make it up 2 her on her birthday.

automogul · 01-08-2007, 12:19 PM

My wife and I went crazy for Christmas this year, and it was just as fun installing and using everything as it was opening it all up.

I got an OE tank bib, Windshield bag, Kuryakyn clutch/break leavers, Vista Cruise Control, Kuryakyn Bar-end helmet locks, Kuryakyn Mirrors, a SUPER value priced Icon helmet ($80 is hard to resist), Field Shear rain pants, Joe Rocket jacket

My wife got US Saddle Bag studded bags w/ quick releases, OE Luggage rack, OE Engine guards, Kuryakyn staggared pegs for the bars, Kuryakyn Mirrors, Vista Cruise Control, Field Shear Jacket, Sidi boots.

We both got Chatterbox communicators with audio plugs to jack in our MP3 players.

I have to say that my bike has reached a plateau. I'm really happy with most everything I have and the way it's set up. The last frontier I might visit is a passenger back rest so that my wife can take a spin with me on the days she doesn't feel like riding. She said she'd do it more often, but the one time we went two up, she felt really uncomfortable not having a back rest to support her. Aside from all of that, I really can't imagine needing or wanting much else for the bike. Onward to my gear now, right? I can just keep upgrading my gear and getting better and better stuff. I suppose at some point, I'll run out of goodies, and then it's time to move to another bike.

I just need to keep it out on the road and really soak in the enjoyment. Thanks to the heat wave we had recently, I was able to get out last weekend and ride. The best day was Saturday. It was in the mid 70's here and skies were clear and sunny. It was a perfect day.

4dtvman · 01-08-2007, 01:03 PM

Dam did you leave anything left in the store. Some windsheilds would be nice if you do any long hauls over 50 mph
