Well, got the bars, the bags, the Uly pegs, and now just got some bar end mirrors. Not the mostest blingiest billet billy-bad-a$$ ones that I'd like, but these cost me about 30 bucks... Cheap is a blanket that covers a multitude of sins!! Now all I need is a Drummer! Is it ready yet? <grin>

The vibes on these bars are negligible to start with, and these should dampen what is there... So little that I didn't notice a change in my brief test ride. Visibility went in the tank with the stock mirrors on the high bars, and this is a welcome relief. I have a much better idea of what the crook of my arm looks like from the ones that came off! R |

Love the bars, 07. Can't say enough good. The Uly pegs are a really nice add on as well. Cheap, too! With the bars and pegs, I could ride this bike all over Hell and Creation. The stock seat isn't bad, but one of those strap on (!) jell pads is nice for really long rides. R |

It's a sweet looking ride you got there Rob. Nice personalization and customization. I happened to be at the local dealer's today and a guy there had decided on a CR and waiting to pick it up. He was so excited! When I first saw the CR I wasn't that exited over it. Now I think it is simply a stunning looking bike. I rode one at Inside Pass and the ride is awesome yet distinctly different from my 1125R. I'm starting to "get it" regarding the CRs! |

The more I see the CR, in person and photos, the more I'm coming to think of it as the young brother of my S1W. Nothing but attitude on 2 wheels. Very cool bike |

+1 Asbjorn. I didn't dig the CR at first, but now I see what Buell was trying to do. I can't wait until I can spend the proper amount of time drooling over it at the San Mateo IMS in a few weeks. I saw one for a few moments at my dealer, but I didn't get a chance to REALLY look at it. |

They are third eyes. Any bicycle shop in America should have them. |

Blinkers? I need blinkers? Seriously, tho, I haven't figured that out yet. Many options, and I will update as I progress. You are correct about the bicycle shop. Set me back about 30-35 bucks. Rob |

For a bit more $$ you can get bar-end mirrors with built-in LED signals. Several brands available. Check out some of the SuperMoto aftermarket vendors. |

Only ones I've seen are takeoffs from hypermotards... I think that would look pretty cool, but a bit rich for my blood. I kinda dig the Rizoma stuff, but once again, I'm a cheap ba$tard!!! Rob |
