Man, is that ever sweet looking! I like the upholstery job on the seat a lot, and the paint looks flawless. Very nice. You don't ride it with those flip flops on, do you? Reflection in the tank gives you away

I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

Heat guard, and a couple of vids also
Cobia, I had that manufactured here. Ive got removeable saddlebags, and had the heat guard added to keep them off the exhaust. And, sad to say, yes, I do wear the flip flops more than I should riding!!! Here are three short vids of the bike too. Take care, and thanx so much for this forum!!!

The Kerker exhaust
PS-Forgot to answer about the exhaust! The Kerker emblem fell off, and I put that one on to cover the holes!!!
