Hey All,
Hope everyone is having a great riding season! cooler weather soon! and radical fall color rides just around the corner
This summer I was getting the "itch" to buy a new ride.... though the prices are great in this economy, the money tree at the moment is not really bursting with fruit!
Soooo I decided to maybe kick er' up a notch a add some chrome dress up, pinstripes, & performance parts to my VT750C Honda Shadow Aero. I set a budget of around $800 to see what I could do to affordably get my bike up to speed. I added some detail accent stripes, chrome neck cover & side covers, then added a Kuryakin Hypercharger & VH Sriaghtshots HS drag pipes and...... man what a difference!!! this baby rocks! has a whole new look, feel, and handling! way beats taking on "bike payments"!! I'm attatching some pics of the pinstriping & will have more pics of the performance parts next post!
Hope this post is helpful in maybe planning some changes to you're ride & saving some $$ by trick'in out vs buying new. The best deal I found on parts after checking all the suppliers was "Cruiser Customizing" ck em' out before getting hammered by another dealer- I've bough from them for years and honestly been very pleased- quik ship,great price, & no issues w/orders. They also have video's to help you with installing your new parts
I have posted a link on our show website

I've also started a new weekly "rider blog" to share all kinds of biker info with fellow riders - here's the link
