Larz Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 @stumpyluckily bugs don't stick to the Plastidip like they do to paint. Can't run a rag over that, have to hose it off. One of these days I'll get those pieces proffesionally painted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Oh well, I was just so fukin' proud of myself for jury-rigging up a way to make the Proton 500 flush mounts work on a Tracer... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 5'8": it's perfect with the windshield raised at freeway speeds. And in slow moving traffic, you can adjust to funnel in a ton of air too your torso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 @Coop damn, Coop, give a guy break. At least it doesn't look like a Japanese Robot anymore.It's Retro,eh? ( the mirrors are better than I expected- rock solid; even a mild tip over didn't budge one. And suprise, slighlty less vibes in the grips:0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You started it! The mirrors would take care of that "I'm not 135 pounds anymore" problem. I must not be vibration sensitive because I don't notice it much. It would be like tinnitus though, just learn to enjoy it. Farkling is fun especially when serious thought is required to make something just right. For me, the Tracer is almost perfect. Every time I say I wish it had a bigger gas tank, my wife reminds me that I have plenty of time to reach a destination and I am too old for 1K days. Why is she always right?

Larz Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 @stumpyyeah, they are indeed very bright. Made a gasket out of Automoive weather stripping to stand the buggers out enough from the fairing to be seen head on; albeit, still kinda marginal for a front blinker- should be mounted higher. They make really excellent running lights from the side view, however 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
