Breaking in - JF Coastal_imp - 03-02-2015
Still in the break in period. It's been raining non stop since I purchased the bike. Anyways, managed to get 30-40 miles in on her last night after work. Dam she's fun !!! Blue sky and nearly 75 degrees, perfect weather. Anyways, here are a couple of photos.

love the pics... the CB in black is just so nice (personal preference of mine- I live in Canada and we have blue .. no black- although a CB in any color is a beauty to behold).
Just curious-the small side mirror off the grip-looks good, how does it work tho?
Thanks

Weather was nice yesterday. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy the new ride. The black CB is really a looker.
RE: Breaking in - JF Coastal_imp - 03-02-2015
Thanks jrns. Yeah, I love the black. But blue would be my next choice in color if I had that option down here.
The mirror works great, but as you can see I had a similar setup on my nighthawk so i'm used to it. My friend that was riding my nighthawk wasn't used to the setup, but by the end of our ride he was liking it a bunch.
There's redbirds ! Yeah it was great. I think we have some cold coming this weekend. Hope you got out yesterday as well.

thanks for the reply-I might consider this as a mod this summer. I really like the look of it...clean and simple. thanks!
RE: Breaking in - JF Coastal_imp - 03-03-2015
Yup, that's what I like clean and simple. A little pricey for one mirror, but the quality is so much better than the set I put on my NH. Here's a link if you are interested.

thanks again-very cool site!
RE: Breaking in - JF Coastal_imp - 03-03-2015
Yup, it is a great site. Good guys there too. Called them up and they walked me through some suggestions on my handlebars / grips / mirror selections.

I agree with tossing the lollipops and going for bar-ends. I like Napoleons (Naps).
RE: Breaking in - flynrider - 03-03-2015
Nice stable you got there, JF. I thoroughly approve of your choice of motorcycles
