The "ape hanger" handlebars are not the best looking, but the position is perfect for long rides and standing up. Unfortunately the design of the XTR triple clamp does not allow for an easy purchase of bar risers. The ones on Franki's bike are custom made and not available, so I had to go with the extra tall bars. Handguards will be put on tonight.

The black plastic is a standard color option at Galaxy, but the rally gas tank only comes in white, so that's why I originally chose all white. During a recent visit to the factory I stumbled onto a black rally tank, supposedly the only one that exists (a sample), so I got pretty lucky in getting it.

More to come...

Cheers!
