Today I installed the rear fender rack.
The handlebar area of the 1300 leaves a lot to be desired, so I also made these changes:
- Installed the RSTD bars (for comfort - provides a couple more inches pullback that us shorter riders require)
- Installed Kuryakyn Iso grips
- Installed the Brake Away Cruise Control
- Added color-matched accent rings for the Iso grips (courtesy Revlon and automotive topcoat)
- Installed Kewlocks helmet locks on the end of the Iso grips
- Removed the dull matte black switch housings and installed pretty chrome bling housings (Show Chrome). This took a while to remove all internals, and would have taken even longer if I didn't have the enclosed instructions. Would I buy these covers again - probably not. I'm polishing my old OEM ones for my husband to install on his. Or rather I'll install on his bike.
- Installed a chrome cover for the front brake master cylinder (Kuryakyn). This isn't just the lid to the master cylinder, but instead a complete case that covers the sides and the handlebar mount - very sharp!
I made the mistake of taking the windshield off. OK this isn't normally a bad thing, but when I saw the looks of the bike without it, I just had to take a good hard look at it. Butterfly looked so sleek and sexy - emphasized her low prowess and highlighted her custom paint like a gorgeous evening gown (if a motorcycle could wear one, that is).
