No welding or buying special brackets just drill a hole in the yami bar braket and extend the adjustments. If you look at the pic you will notice the scraper on the bottom of the floorboard has been moved up more so you can lean it over more with out scraping. This really worked out well for me.

Well its been awhile since I bloged so I thought I ought to fill ya in on this past weekend. We decided to ride and the weather was perfect almost like an infectious disease everyone was out riding it seemed. We first thought New Orleans but after checking rooms, to many other nuts got there before me so maybe Panama City Beach, Duuu Spring break!

Intalled the Top Hats and I now have a nice smooth and quiet ride. Clunking is gone. Ive put a thousand miles on it and the ride is as it should be. If your putting up that the irritating clunking noise you don't have to.

I was just doing a little research and wanted some input on the Shinko brand?

A friend of mine who drives a Harley late Sunday evening had a flat about 200 miles out. You know the drill, Late Sunday trying to get home, Got to be at work Monday. With no apparent damage to the tire, he was left stranded on the side of the road by his friend who went in search of a remedy. Of course late Sunday evening nothing Motor cycle related is open, so they had to solve the problem on their on. His friend found some one in a parking lot with a flat tire with an electric air pump trying to get home as well. So he ask if he could borrow the pump to help out his stranded friend in exchange he would fix their tire. They said if you can fix the tire you can have the pump. So he pulled out his plug kit and plugged their tire and had them on their way. He stopped at a store that had some slime and was soon on his way. The Harley of course has spoke wheels and uses a tube so the plug kit won't work hence the slime. So they slimed it and aired it up and were off. Didn't make it far and the tire was almost flat again so they aired it up and kept going until they got to a store that had slime with fiber. They re-slimed the tire and continued on stopping at first every ten miles to air the tire then 20 , 30 and so on; by the time they got home it was holding pretty good. When he tore the tire down he said the tube was destroyed and in pieces as well as the rubber ring that covers the spoke ends. The amazing thing is that the slime plugged all those leaks around the rim and spoke ends and got him home. Pretty good stuff. I carry a pump, slime, and a plug kit with me just in case, but I thought you might enjoy the story.
