Thought I was going to have to return the Hotgrips I bought cause they were about 5/8" too long. Really liked the grips though and did not want go to a shorter set that might cramp my big hands, so I started doing some creative thinking and it dawned on me, why not have a local machinest make me an aluminum shoulder plug to extend the bars 5/8" and at the same time drill and tap a metric hole to mount the Moose Barkbusters with the supplied metric bolt. JB Weld them in place and wallah!, solves two problems with only a small outlay of greenbacks. Good on me! Now if I can somehow solve the seat thing.
Did a wash and general cleanup on the bike yesterday and I think it did me more good than it did the bike, mentally, at least. Got my mind off how mad I was at Corbin for fouling up my well laid plans.
The tall windscreen was buffeting like crazy so I did a Bikini cut on it --- much better. I like a steady wind on my helmet instead of a swirling vortexey? mess created by a bad windshield. May add a laminar lip later.
Tomorrow I think I'll tackle mounting the Jesse panniers with the new spacers Al sent me. Or maybe not.
