I escaped with the grips in the pics for about $20 including the shipping.

I'm hoping ther pics upload this time:ummm:

Well, after the tip in how to get the bar ends off and then a little trimming & I think they look pretty good... After a trip I'm convinced I got the issue of hand ache bettered. Not perfect but MUCH better with the larger diameter grips & they are cushy...:punk:

My issue I believe lies in the diameter of the grip... the fingers just don't close like they use to.. When I go to give blood & they ask me to make a fist I have to grab 3 fingers from the other hand:damn angry:. I'm pretty certain the grip diameter is the issue... It's not the poor ergonomics...

I feel stupid asking this but knowing before hand is better than figuring it out after you break it.. My hands ache with the stock hand grips. Arthritis in the fingers/they don't close the way they use to:confused2: I'm thinking about trying a set of those oversize coke bottle shaped hand grips...

Just an alternative thought... I have numerous powder coated items around. It/powder coat is neat but I found an alternative/if only white & black will fill your needs. WalMart/Home Depot & others sell Rustoleum EPOXY alliance paint in rattle cans. Home Depot by the quart & gallon. The stuff...

I'm in the same boat/Engine could use a touch up.. I have not done it yet but I'm THINKING:ummm: Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy paint. ( WalMart/Home Depot) I use this on my Excavatinjg Equipment & it holds up GREAT. I painted a whole new dump body with the rattle cans & it holds up amazing. I put it...

Well again a cursory look proves to be insufficient... True the rear engine mounts look to be allen head bolted to the frame same as the fronts but after reading the posts above I put the reading glasses on & looked CLOSE.... Yup, the guys above are spot on.... Now though with reading about the...

Durring my working career they did a personality analysis type of thing &....I'm confirmed as part of the 5% of the population that thinks/approaches everything differently... No more right or wrong than the other 95% just a different approach... I just finished putting engine gaurds/highway...

Rubbing Compound.... with a buffer....:ummm: Now there's an idea.. I'll give that a whirl.... No more "Bkue Away"? Like everything else that worked great, it was probably toxic:icon_rolleyes:.. It worked F-A-S-T & effortlessly....

I have a Marks Stainless 4 into one. The pipes have all turned gold possibly from the heat of the Stage 7? Years ago in the 60's it was common for the pipe comming out of the engines on the British Bikes to turn blue. We sold ( Parents were a Dealership for Norton, Ducati & Moto Guzzi ) a...

Oh Brother..... Now my mind is in conflict.... Apply what I know to something I really know very little about, or take the advice of those who DO know ( I've read a lot of Sean's posts...he sure seems to know...with that G Man was telling me the same thing...) I think I have it stuck in my mind...

THANKS G Man!!!!! I kept looking to pull off a major chunk of something holding the little gear. It never occurred to look for a clip holding the gear on... I spent most of my life fixing Heavy Equipment and it is inbred in my mind that EVEYTHING that rubs together creates it's own unique DNA...

I purchased used wheels for my '97 'Max.. My bike has 4K on it. I have no clue how many miles on the wheels I bought. I got Metzlers mounted on the just aqquired rims ( Side thought, I went with new Metzlers front & back as they seemed the preferred tire on this site.. CAN'T WAIT to try'em in...

This is waaaaay off topic but may apply. Ever have an issue getting the right bolts for these bikes?:bang head: I have in my garage a Cub Cadet 27HP Diesel 4x4 tractor I'm putting a new head on. Factory/Dealer repair manual gives 2 torque settings for the head bolts & while the head bolts are...

I read this thread & see myself as I use the debit card on the internet all the time. Some one mentioned LifeLock. I believe they were just found guilty in a class action suit & must return million$ to clients. It seems their CEO ( I hope what I read WAS lifelock..I'm pretty sure ..) ran that...

I've followed the post/LOVE the lights but I too don't want to deal with the hassle. It all depends on the Cop and or how the Juristiction is run or how bad they need money.. Yah never know what to expect as you drive through different towns. I trailer heavy earthmoving equipment as part of my...

Likely you last 2 guys are right... If I can get my head outta my butt & get to enjoy the ride, likely Ill see things different...... I already debate gettin the rims on it chromed...But I don't wanna have done it ....for the next guy.... Time will tell......

To answer 4Gasem's question/it's a good one... I like the bike, it's color, it's low mileage & when you search for a deal, color choices are usually not part of the equation. I just like chrome, I want to increase it's appeal without putting a lot of money into it, Im not even sure I'll keep...

I though what you guys have all told me was going to be the case....I just needed to be hit over the head with it.... I'll leave the exhaust alone & learn to like it.. I just gotta find somebody who likes those black wheels & wants to swap their Bright/Auluminum colored ..... Or find somebody...
