    Its the red tape on the wheels. I would never have, put red tape on gold wheels, and it looks great. Like the highlight on the tyres too. Will you remove the pillion rests?

    I’d have liked to but was advised against it by a local bike mechanic and I trust his judgement.
    Apparently the rim profile shape is different to that of a tubeless rim, the tyre might not seat properly leading to other problems......and could be serious ones!!!

    After going to a tree farm to cut our tree (and visit the petting zoo, go on a hayride during which I make us sing carols, have hot chocolate and cookies in the bed of the truck with the tree, and visit Santa), we managed to cram in a super short ride yesterday to my brother's to show him my new bike, unannounced. I knew he would be happy for me and I looked forward to surprising him. He did a doubletake when he saw me pull up because for a very brief second he was confused at me seeming like I was riding my husband's '76 Bonneville but then he glanced back at Ron and really did a doubletake. Had to keep it below 4k which was a little hard on the country roads to his house but now I'm 50 miles into my break-in. Will be hard to find ride time between now and Christmas, but will try. I won't despise small beginnings

    Hi, Andyguy, love the look of the tyres, what tyre paint did you use, the branded one I use tends to fade after a few trips especially on the rear. It looks like you put that on with a fine brush, am I correct?

    My gear shift lever, well the end peg of it was a bit damaged and the rubber was half broke. Had purchased a lovely new shiny one which apparently perfectly replaces the stock one. However for the life of me could not get the thing off! Now the thing has no rubber on it all and looks worse than it did before I started :confused: so if anyone has any ideas?

    Looks like it’ll be easier just to replace the whole lever and peg now ...

    here’s the gear shift lever and the end peg that’s supposed to replace the stock peg, though I’m starting to think that the peg IS part of the lever ...

    Is there not a screw on the other side of the lever?
    You probably can't see that unless you take the lever off the bike though!

    I did have a ‘feel’ around the back and thought I could feel a hole so tried some Allen keys but nothing would slot in so perhaps there’s a screw instead, I couldn’t get a proper look though so I’m not sure.

    The parts list shows the whole thing as one piece by the looks of it though :eyes:

    I'd say it was a one piece lever

    Does your missus/girlfriend/mistress/lover etc have one of those small mirrors so you can look at it from the back ?
    Or whip it all off.

    possible I guess, I’ll try and get a picture from behind the lever tomorrow to see if that shows a way in.

    yeah I’m thinking the same and I’ve been miss-sold the end peg thinking it’ll just screw on.

    Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching it but I’m definitely the ‘average Joe’ that Dellboy was talking about when it comes to drilling parts of the bike out :)
