    Show us Your ..... Bikes.

    Funny, my only time driving (riding) on the left is when I was 15. We went to Burmuda and rented mopeds. I was tall and told them I was 16.

    Instrument panel loose

    My panel drops down as well. I tightened the 2 bolts (4mm Allen key I think) but it still dropped down after a while. I stuck some black foam stuff I had in between on the left side. It stays in place now

I think maybe the thing for those screws is anti seize, and regular checking/tightening. Maybe the rubber hardens/shrinks from the heat...

    Suspension set up

    I like hitting the Twisties when I can, but the rocket scrapes so fast that I've been trying to train myself to leave the Twisties for the KTMs, I keep telling myself "its a cruiser, just cruise" ha ha

    Floorboards/Footboards on a Rocket

    Yeah, tough sometimes with custom stuff. Usually some trial and error. Hopefully not that much error. I have a lot of shelf ornaments from failed attempts. But when you get it the way you want it's lovely
