Beautiful In Blue

My Bike

Some of you asked for pics of my bike so here they are. This bike was originally a demo bike for National Cycle.

The exhaust comes with a handlebar-mounted Toggle Switch which allows on-the-fly transitions between the typical Harley loud and low throaty rumble mode and a neighborhood friendly quiet mode.

My customized Roland Sands Bell Custom 500 helmet with bubble shield.

I added a Ogio tank bag on the back. I didn't want anything too big and distracting but enough to carry something if I needed.

The other side.

As you can see, I mounted the mirrors underneath. For those of you who never have tried this, it gives you a better range of view and see more of your blind spot. Try it.
