                    Yeah, but it's BEHIND the seat lock... as you can see, he kinda chopped the whole ass end of the bike off to make that cafe tail/seat combo work.

                    Good job on the re-position! Amazing how a simple, silly little hook ads so much convenience!

                      Was there really? I'm gonna have to take a look at the back 12 inches of frame I have on the floor in my garage to see if I have that, I don't remember seeing it...

                        Got the clip-on bars installed, which allowed me to lower the front a full two inches! Handling is so much better now and looks great!
                        I also broke out the heat gun and burned off all those ugly stickers the PO put on...

                            I think I got the exact same clip ons, and yeah i have mine on the top after sliding the forks through.

                                Any thought on color matching matching the wheels? Then, when you ride That up to Rausch Creek next weekend, bang it off some rocks, it'll look just like your Runner.

                                Hah!
