I'll go as long as we don't take 95. I avoid it in my truck. No way I want to do it on a bike! What is 76 or 78 like? I think I have driven on 78 and remember it being nice, or at least better than 95 for a bike. I could be wrong though.

If only these would work for my bike! I have a design. Just need it built.

@LMarshall73 that's the same rear fender I have that is waiting to get painted.

Haha! Very true. I like to stop every 60-90 minutes, drink some water, get some gas. Then get back on the road.

 

Sounds good I'm down for that too!

 

Whats the width on those bars? They look really wide...or just the camera angle.

 

15

 

Burly's website says 33" from end to end. They're wide for sure. But I think the angle makes them look even wider.

We will have to head East at some point!

 

My old Honda CB had mid-rear controls and clubman bars, so I'm used to slouching. I think Drag bars would be the in-between of the stock 48 bars and the clubmans?

 

Good point Didn't think about elbows. I broke my left elbow a couple of years ago and I get some aches on longer rides.

 

So getting back onto the scooter train thread....

Honda ADV150:



I hope this becomes a real thing. Quick tail tidy, a different exhuast, some knobbies, rippppppp around town.

So i ordered my TC Bros 12in narrow apes from J&P Cycles on March 23. Never got a confirmation email. Called them on the 26th and they said my order was processing but never got an email confirmation. Called last week and they said the bars would ship on the 6th. Havent heard anything from them so i got on their chat on the website and was told they were on back order. The lady was rude and ended my chat twice before answering my questions. Opened up a third chat and cancelled the order. Decided to go directly to TC Bros and ordered from them. Should be here in 3 days. Im so pissed because they could have sent an email with an update at some point and let me know. I had heard their customer service was bad but i didnt listen. Learned that one the hard way. Couldve already had the bars on the bike if i hadnt wasted time with them.

 

Pretty much. The first bars i bought for my '80 CB750C were clubmans. Those didn't last long.

 

do you have brake lines?

 

I ordered my TC Bros bars through J&P as well. I think the bars drop ship from TCB because I was in the same boat. I got communication about everything else but the bars and they showed up a week later than the rest. I didn't have an issue with CS via chat, but I broke the ice with a wrecking ball. One of the items I had ordered was a Drag Specialties Speedometer (Black). She kept referring to it as a black speedo, until I asked her to just say speedometer, because no one wants to see me in a black Speedo. That set the tone for the rest of the chat. I'll probably get "#MeToo'd" for it, but I don't give a shit.

 

That thing would be sweet but I would still prefer the grom and shifting.

 

Thats fair, but I have the big bikes for shifting. For me scoot scoots are all about lazy one hand driving around town with the spoils from the beer run tucked in the trunk under the seat
