If you look close you can see my flame pattern. Its black on black and so hard to make out.



I since installed a rack. the installation attaches directly to the fender and i a seamless fit. Ill post picture soon



I don't know what the rest of you are doing about the cheap plastic handlebar accelerator. It really bothered me so i found some nice handle bars with a flame pattern matching the tires and gas tank and installed a thumb accelerator. The installation was a snap. Also i added a nice toggle on of switch as a cut off replacing the cheap plastic switch that comes with the kit.

Ive also done a mod on the exhaust that is made of EMT and some fittings. Its a great solution. Ill post some pics and a how too soon.

Lookin' good Irish. I have been wanting to try a thumb throttle. How is it working out?

[imirish81]

its actually working out great. i cut the cable to length so that when the thumb lever is pushed to the handle bar the throttle is all the way out. Cutting the cable sounds like a risky venture but im sure as some on hear can atest it is not. drilling a small hole in copper pipe inserting the cable and melting a small amount of lead in the hole does the trick very well. The whole set up is much simpler than the grip accelerator in the kit. Ill post some close up picture on the set up soon! Remember the on off switch has to be remounted, and that takes some cleaver work.

Just so dang cool. clean and saves big time real estate on the bars. Not having to use the plastic kit grips is a great plus too. (Real plastic, accept no cheap substitute) Where did you get it? Local MC shop has them but all too big.

just found this. has a kill switch; Handy Throttle - The Thumb Throttle Converter - Order Your Handy Throttle Today!

I bought the thumb accelerator online but i don't remember where i got it. As i recall it was really cheap. If i remember ill report. Also ill post some pictures of the accelerator set up when i get some time.
