put the bike in the garage last week and have been working nearly every day this week on it. took just about every piece off i could and cleaned it, waxed it,
changed all fluids, installed new rear tire/wheel assembly, cleaned all electrical connections and put 'er back together with all the "goodies" i
had collected over the winter. still have an alarm, tank bib, and driver seat backrest to install, but going to take a break from her for now. i've got
'er to a point where i can ride....now if spring would hurry up and get here. later, bud
! suppose to be 65 here today(but
cloudy)and snow tomorrow!
. i used double back tape!! this is the same way i
installed them on the other LC i had and they never came loose. in fact, with these, after i got them installed, i noticed one was off about a 1/4" and
that bugged the heck out of me. so, i went to take it off and straighten it and it took about all i could do to pull it loose. make sure you use a
de-waxer/de-greaser first on the metal, especially if you've waxed the bike a lot...and i'm sure you have as glossy as that black beauty of yours
looks. these come from drag specialties for 20 bucks on ebay and they are really nice ones. i checked the auto parts store, but theirs are 3" diameter and
the chrome isn't all that shiney, plus they were more than these. there are two different attachments underneath. on one i had to grind a piece off to
make it sit flat. you do need to use the good tape, not the cheap stuff. on these bikes, i could have drilled through the fake covers and mounted them with
screws, but i didn't want to put holes in the tank in case i ever decided to remove them, and this is the way i had done them on the other LC and never had
a problem.
