Re: open house

that is a discontinued part for my bike and they aren't compatible with the newer models.  i might have to look into ebay.

Re: open house

we went and test rode the 1125r.  pretty cool bike if you can get over the looks.  gobs of torque all over the place.  the vibration was noticably sharper than the xb's.  i really didn't get to wring it out so i would assume it would smooth out in the upper rpm's.  felt pretty good stability-wise, although the susp.  was wayyyyy soft.  it was doing some silly things.  the exhaust sounds really anemic.  nothing like the harley motor.  it would probably be remedied with a pipe(i haven't heard anything but stock).  all in all cool bike imo.

p.s.  the factory accessories catalogue did not include any brush trimming accessories or implements of any kind.
