Here are some pics of a ride Loonette and I took last Saturday around the Urbana/Marysville/London area here in Ohio:

Those are some beautiful bikes. Also shows how customizing your bike can definitely make it your own. There are a lot of differences in them when you really start looking.

Were you able to take them across the bridge at the same time? :laughing:

Sorry, couldn't resist. Nice bikes.

Very nice. Why no shots of you guys on the bikes? I want some action shots! Covered bridges are cool.

I forgot something - Zootech - how'd you do that front fender mod? Did you cut the stock fender or get a new one painted to match?

We're both camera shy I guess...though Loonette has no reason to be.

The latter.

Very cool - last question. What's that painted piece you have on the front of the bike - just behind the front fender and in front of the motor? Is that a stock accessory? I hate seeing a nice bike and then seeing an unsightly air filter (or whatever you call it) sticking out like a sore thumb. Doesn't matter as much on some bikes as it does on others. But when you have a fancy paint job and lots of chrome and leather it just looks out of place sometimes. That whatever-it-is does a good job of covering it up.

It's called a "chin spoiler", also referred to as a "chin fairing". None of the chrome radiator covers I found looked even remotely appealing so I decided to dig deeper in my wallet and get that instead.

Nope, not on this bike...though I have seen some Honda VTX 1800's sitting on the showroom floor with them.
