Welcome!
Nice looking bike! I really like that matte blue finish. I thought 2018 was Matte Blue and 2019 was a graphite color???
Nice bike though, enjoy the forum and ride safe! ;)
That's pretty cool! Great job! Kind of like a modern Rat Rod. Almost looks Triumph-esque. I like the look of it you had a great vision. I bet that bad boy is real LOUD!
Enjoy and ride safe.
Welcome Jim. You'll do good here with your stable of bikes. Enjoy the forum and knowledge base. We're here to help... sometimes. Other times were just *** hats. :)

I did drop by at about 1pm on September 12th and all camps were empty at the settlement and across the road (some campers camping but no bikes). Not long after that I saw someone south bound on 395 not far from Bridgeport on a newer FJR amber or orange color with a bright yellow helmet. Then saw...
I will be passing thru Bridgeport (around 1pm-ish) on September 12th, on my way to Reno for the Air Races. I hope to have lunch in Big Pine at Copper Top BBQ then head up the hill.
A couple great brew pubs near there. June Lake Brewing @ June Lake and Mountain Rambler in Bishop. Don't drink and...
Don;
If I remember correctly the CCT should come out even extended. Mine was when I first removed it. Now I don't know if it was all the way extended. You may have to remove the clutch cover for clearance to get it out. It's been a while since I did this (several times BTW for others) I'm not...
