nc, va, and wv weekend

Post by marine dad »

guys, thought i'd try and share a few pics from last weekend. we rode from winston- salem nc up to wytheville, va. then all through every backroad we could find and came out at the new river gorge on hiway 19 close to summersville, west va. spent the night and came back through several national forests. roads included highway 60, 42, 60, 19, 311, 92, and i dont have a clue in what order. next time i'll try to keep track of our route.

Nice looking ride. Seems you got the top case mounting sorted out?

yeah photoguy,
long story short, i went to the hardware store and bought the supplies to lower and remount the tc brackets, and got to looking at the side case mounts and realized all i had to do was dremel off the rear lip on the front side case mounts and it would all bolt up in the same holes. the muffler side fit great with no binding, right side case required replacing the passenger footpeg mount bolts with longer bolts, and shimming the footpeg out 1/4of an inch. it all worked out fine and i'm very pleased with the setup. thanks for the case mounts
