Ha ha thanks nanotech..I try to keep her clean, once a week like all of us here
. Nothing like cleaning her up and watching her shine.!True Popgun, the bronze color is growing up on me too..!

Polished steel looks very nice but the bronze look is sweet too. My Griso is the green SE with brown seat so the bronze look is especially nice looking. I think the bronze goes well on a red bike (bronze seems to go well with a lot of colour schemes).
I think of it like cast iron cook wear. New looks good, but a well seasoned pan has a certain rugged handsomeness to it that is appealing.

Twisted Throttle shipped out my SW Motech case savers (black), received them yesterday, installed today. They look factory (except for the sw-motech label). V Twin experience pushed me to use blue Loctite on the threads; just in case.
Massive rains expected today so no riding. Did too much riding in the rain when I lived in Minnesota (and the bike is still too new to subject it to rain just yet) so where possible I simply avoid it.

About five more weeks of not riding so I pulled the CB out to sit on and start her up. Mounted a tank bag I had sitting on the shelf and decided I could bother you guys with a couple shots of the new SW Motech case savers installed.
I think they look factory in black and really blend into her lines so at times it's hard to tell they are there.

Great shots Rboe !! And very well kept... She is in good hands ..!

Very nice, I put these on my bike a few weeks ago, and almost forgot they're even there.
So, with these on the bike, do you think the pegs will still scrape first in a deep lean? To me, it seems they will, but I'd hate to be wrong. I don't think it would take much contact with the bars to induce a nasty lowside.

They look great and i'm sure would funtion well but I'd recommend you quickly remove them, pack them securely in a box and ship them directly to me. Ill test them for fit and finish and lean angle and then give a full report to the group!

Ha! I'm still waiting for one of those crappy old Staintune pipes to show up at my doorstep. Cash for clunkers, right?
