... but chrome bling does not make it run any faster, or so they say.
Keeping the thread family-safe: It's true; chrome won't get ya home...but it will get you a date.
Oh yah I forgot, I think they made chrome clip on round boots that cover up the black rings above the 6 carb intakes right below the gas tank (3 on each side). Anyone have a lead on where to get those as well?
Those would be from Rattlebars. I don't think he's in the business of producing motorcycle parts any longer. Sad...Chet was a class act.
Why some owner (or owners) prior would add all those expensive chrome side pieces covering the entire sides up with chrome and not buy a chrome 15 dollar oil filler cap is puzzling? he must have run out of money?
Why would some owners powdercoat all the existing chrome (cam belt cover, cylinder head covers, engine guards, etc.)?
"Contrast".
Probably should buy a shinier chrome radiator cover as well since the show chrome thin grid pattern one is showing its age after 25 years and does not offer much in terms of shiny chrome looks.
Too bad Dave's Bar Grille is no longer available - but there's always the Classifieds for such.
And:
no rush on finding it since just put up today both Valks under cover in my garage a few hours ago, no more riding until near april 1st for me....
This is why God/Dog/(insert_other_favorite_deity_here) invented the sport-tourer and the adventure bike. Snow problem riding in winter with heated clothing. No chrome whatsoever to worry about, either.
just thinking of stuff to put on for the spring during these 3-4 months of winter doldrum....
I reverse that position and wrench my stuff in the summertime. Primarily, my winter bikes...always coming up with something else to do to them. Lack of heat in the garage constrains my wrench time.
Back to your original post: If you can find one, Jardine used to make a nifty quick release backrest/rack combination known as a "Paladin".
