Hi, Dan-- Forward controls are basically nonsense. I suggest that if you wish to ride in that exaggerated posture, buy a Harley. I have an '86 Honda Shadow 700...
Norman, I have had 2 knee reconstructions due to football injuries. The forward controls are needed because of the pain normal controls cause me. I think i may...
I am with Norm on this one. I know that some of the cruiser guys really like these, but I can't get out of the parking lot with them. Consider also what you...
whoa! retraction! sorry about the injuries man! if this is what it takes to keep you on the road, install away! my point about the quality stands, however....

Hi, I'm sure this has been discussed but I couldn't find any mention in the archives by searching "choke". The choke on my '86 Intruder 700 is spring loaded in...
