Re: Scored some OEM mufflers
Picked up some high pipes from Webike some years ago to make my W look like my 68 W2TT. Mufflers still look great.

Scored some OEM mufflers
So...always smart to be proactive with bike parts because we all know, it's never a case of 'if' but 'when'. Noted my nice condition mounted mufflers had a very small 'trouble spot ' on the balance

I've put about 40,000 miles on Bridgestone Spitfires. They seem pretty good to me and are at a reasonable price. I used a white tire paint pen to color in the lettering to give them a little more of a

After wearing out the original rear Classic, I went to the group's

Always stuck with road riders, never a problem. My miles are mostly back roads up to 60 - 70 here and there. Racetech springs and emulators have been on the bike for many years and are worth the

Instead of progressive springs in the front forks, one can take a piece of
