Beautiful bike, the black parts look so good against that paint color. How do you like the new bars?

 

So far so good. Roads slick so didn’t get a good comfortable ride in.
Also grabbed a Tall Boy seat yesterday to move me back further.

 

Im still deciding on bars for mine. I had Biltwell Frisco's on my blue 48, but they had 0.75" pull back and were horrible on my wrists.

i now found TC Bros Speedline that have a 2" pullback. Much better. But my original thought was Biltwell Zed. Im not a huge fan of a true Z bar. I need some curves too.

The Zed might be too low too. I like a 7-8" mini ape. I think the zed is 5-6". Zed pull back is 4"

pic 1 is Speedline
pic 2 is Zed
pic 3 is Slant Z
pic 4 is Biltwell Frisco on my blue 48

 

So many options it's hard to choose. Those Speedlines are a nice classic bar, but the Zeds do look good on the bike and kinda give it more attitude if that makes sense.

 

Like a bull dog attitude. And in combination with the fat front tire

 

In had the Biltwell Keystones on my nightster (they look just like the zeds) and I really liked them. I have a long reach so I angled them forward and in combination with the pullback they were very comfortable and never hurt my wrists.

 

I will check out the Keystones. I was thinking after I posted those pictures, I dont really like the cramped look of the Slant Z. I was leaning more towards the Speedline, or even looking back at Road6Customs that I had on my Nightster

 

I forgot that I put an offer in for this, and I won. So i guess ill be having a tank soon

 

How much you get it for?

 

$109 shipped

 

Nice! So you swapping out the stock tank?

 

I already singled out @Sacrifice, so if anybody else is interested (or knows someone who may be interested), I have a brand-e new BD lamp for a KTM 690 for sale:

Baja Designs XL Pro for KTM 690 (2019-On) - NEW

 

Well not yet. I might get this one repainted. It has a couple dings. And then i want to put a new fuel pump in so i can swap between the tanks. And this one will give me about 35 more miles in range

 

Touring mode !

 

Looks like we might actually have decent weekend weather here in Pittsburgh. I think I might drag my little Ninja out of its winter slumber to do some low-speed parking lot exercises!

 

IE highway wheelies? I kid, I'm just sad that TX has decent riding weather and I'm stuck with a dead motor.

 

That's a bummer! I would be standing in my garage staring wistfully at the bike.

 

I have on a couple occasions, but mainly I need work to slow down so I can tear it down and turn my 3 bad motors into one good one. Then it might run for another week lol. It lives a rough life for a 500.

 

Got some riding time in today! Man this thing is a blast!

 

My Ninja was my favorite bike.

I’m about 2 hours to your West(Zanesville) and temps look decent for the next week. My bike is currently being shipped to me so unfortunately, I will not get to partake
