If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Finally had the steel braided brake lines installed front and back. New brake pads too. I have never liked the stock bars (little high and narrow for my liking) so I purchased some gold (I like gold:D) Renthal low bars. New grips too.

Nice bike.
It seems the the mighty E just gets better and better.

So glad I brought one, very under estimated... great bike.

Love the Blue.

New bikes are so boring to me.
 
Very nice bike:clap: Those E's are just classic, the lines, the look, they are just bad ass big block, tough guy looking! IMO
Also like your tag line.
 
Beautiful bike Trevor!

Thanks everyone.
And thanks to you Joe..as the black powder coated rims, Lockhart oil cooler, Sonic fork springs and braided lines all came from you.:D

Hope you guys don't mind a couple of more pics:)

Looking Good for sure

Looking Good for sure

Nice upgrades, Trevor.

Trevor, how much lower, wider, back space etc. would you estimate the Renthol bars to be?

Brake lines look great. Nicely 'dressed.' What grommets did you use to fit them into the fender bracket?

And those shocks......look great. Good ride / control?

Thanks,

I'm a bit dissapointed in the bars. They are called "low street bars"vfrom Renthal but are only about an inch or so lower than my original ones.

So to answer your questions...

1 inch or so lower

about 3 inches os so wider, which is what I like. I founf the stock bars to be too narrow.

Pull back would be about the same.

As for the gromments...I had a bike mechanic budy do the install so here are some more close up pics...

superbike bars, cb400f bars, & more. look into the drop, pull back & hight of the bars for your satisfaction.
