Actually, it took several evenings, but I installed and got the initial set-up done with my new Penske 8983 rear shock, and I mounted a set of Flexx handlebars from Fasstco.com. First test rides have been just on rough pavement, crossing deep gutters and things like that, but WOW, what a...

Great ride report and the pictures are outstanding! Thanks a bunch.

A couple pics taken just north of my home in Carson City, Nevada.

Thanks for doing this, EricV. I want two or three when price is established. How wide are the finished decals? I'm wondering if they might fit on the fork guards I got from Jaxon.

Great pic, thanks. ;) Reminds me of country around Lassen/Susanville CA

Yep! It was a sideways nudge, but I appreciate the tie-down tip.

Thanks to all for comments. It was kind of a dumb inquiry, and my terminology was not accurate. But I was thinking of having something a little wider and more stable than the center stand, for wrenching on the rear end, having the tire off for longer periods, etc. I bumped the bike once while on...

From guys: Wow, what's that? From gals: Wow, do you already have a girlfriend? ::015::
