Tippy, what are your handlebars? I am looking at clubman style but I kind of like how you have yours. Does it effect your leg placement. I am 6 foot tall and when I lean forward a little it kind of cramps my hip.
I drive WAY too fast to worry about my cholesterol.

I have clubman bars. but my seat raises me up a little and i switched the foot pegs around (left side on right, and right side on left) and bent the shifter and break pedals back to give me more leg room (i'm 6' too) but being the different seat totally changes where my knees are.
p.s. i hope to get my covered seat back today so i'll post pics if i do.

Now I have something to look forward to. Your bike looked exactly like mine when I bought it.

The bike looks pretty good.
The truck doesn't look like it's fairing the best. Might want to pick up the box fender repair piece of sheet metel from jcwhitney. Those 82-92 Rangers are great little trucks. I had a 84 with a 2.2 liter Diesel. Actually just sold it a few weeks back to someone that needed body parts. I had it since 96 and it was a beat up pumpkin colored beater truck then but I restored it and painted it original ford blue. Pretty dependable truck just like these bikes.

Blind - it isn't my truck i was at my parents to help them build a deck. they just picked up the truck for like $400 to haul stuff. it is just a beater truck. thanks for the tip on the fender kit.
Wood - I have some of those, but they won't fit on with the foot pegs switched. i hope to go to a 2 into 1 or at least ditch the h box an header wrap them. thanks for the offer.

Are you going to replace the amber reflectors on the radiator?

hoopty - I am in Hays, (15 mi from Victoria, KS)
Blind - my right side reflector was in sad condition and broke while removing the radiator to replace a seal. I'm not sure what i'm going to do with those spots. any great ideas?

Hey Hoopty, sweet Avatar! ...who's the gal? the car is mighty fine too. Are you into the Hot Rod stuff too? I'm a bit of a fan of that culture as well.
