Fitted one bar used end as there was no insert in the other side.
Rode it, enjoyed it and noticed a definite difference between the side with a bar end and the one without. The one without gave me an aching palm.
Got home and proceeded to bash out the insert from the spare clip on I had. Fitted it to the bar which was missing one then fitted the other bar end. I'll give them both a coat of satin black one day but for now they're staying like they are.

Rode it this morning and it's noticeable when they're fitted.

Hi all, last week I bought 100 pieces of a Hurricane 1000f.
Bought it from a very nice gentleman out by the coast in central CA.

^The lithium one is much smaller. You'll have a place under the saddle for your gloves, registration and more. I had to cut and place some 2x4 under mine in my Stratoliner because it was so small the cables wouldn't reach way down in there. I'm thinking its gonna be a nice place to put my HID ballasts due to lack of room in the headlight bucket (on the liner that is).

Default Test ride

I took the old girl out for a shake down ride after replacing the clip ons with a motocross style bar . New extended braided lines, new front disc and pads .
Replaced one off the coolant hoses also , so just wanted to give it a run to make sure everything was as should be .
