Thanksgiving-took the bird out!

It's a beautiful day here and I had just finished putting on Heli-bars and Buell Ulysses pegs. I went for a spin.

I don't think I'd want the bars higher as I can pretty much sit up comfortably and any higher I'd be in the wind too much. The pegs are an improvement but could be lower yet. However, then I'd have problems with the brake lever. I tried to lower the brake pedal a lot (man, is that cotter key a bitch to remove.) I took the nut off, spun the clevis up as much as I could and re-installed it. The brake light stayed on!!! I see the switch but it looks like the way to get to it is to remove the whole peg assembly. Another day. I put it all back together in the normal position and went for a ride. Took it up to 125 and it felt like 75. What a great bike! Kind of awkward at walking speed, but a rocket (to me) when I twist the throttle! At a buck and a quarter my helmet wanted to stay behind. :icon_dance:

You can adjust the switch there's a nut that you turn, grab the switch with one hand and turn the nut so that the switch moves toward the spring if the brakelight goes out. Release the switch and make sure the light operates correctly lube plunger with wd -40. Hope this helps. I agree the bike is awesome you can cruise at 125+ mph unlike my Harley at 85-90 you know your going that fast. Regards,Ron
