  • Ahh the first ride of spring

    Just got the new jardine on the rat rod and blew off a few hours of work. It's about 60 in Pa today so I did a quick 70 mile ride up rt 14 and around the back roads. There is still snow up there but it was a really nice ride.

    Awsome looking maching you have, I like the color. Nice pipe too, just be careful on the RT handers, that Jardine will touch down fairly easy if you didnt already know. First time is always a scare. Show us more, I wanna see the rear and what your doing with the fender.

      This bike has been together for about 3 years now. I have a Truimph bonnie grab bar that may take the place of those silver bars......after the 79 special project and the 79 cafe 1200 are done. So maybe by 2015.

          We had decent weather here as well and I took advantage of it. I was wondering why it was so wishy washy in the turns though...

            How well do you like the 4 into 1 exhaust? I've been thinking about switching to it. Did the muffler come with it or did you buy it seperate?

                I like the 4 to 1 alot, The Jardine that I have, not so much. It all came together, It's been stting in a box for a long time.
                I think Kerker or Supertrap are the ones to look for.
                There was just a good Supertrap thread running. Maybe you could do the same thing with a 4 to 1.
