There’s a bit of wiring that needs fixing. It turned into backstep fabrication, then catch tank and battery case fabrication, and before you know it, it’s already the end of October. This is bad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year really does fly by… <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Originally, it was an aftermarket step with adjustable step position <\/em>.

Once you set the position, there’s the “I’m never moving it again” rule, which leaves it full of holes and looks ugly, right? So I thought, “I’d like to get rid of those unnecessary holes…”

So I delivered the bike to a certain master craftsman’s shop.

I pulled a sneaky move and told them to work out the details with the owner and the fabricator.

The finished product came back, so I picked up the bike and here’s what it looks like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple design with a unique presence that really stands out <\/em>.

I think it’s really nice that the pedal and plate are different colors (not all black).
The rear master is Gale Speed. The mounting pitch is adjustable and the quality feels top-notch.

I’d like to upgrade to a serious Brembo unit someday (owner’s comment).
The pants are full of Italian spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
