You putting me on?:)

Do you say that was not even a little bit funny ?
 
Oh yeah. Funny as heck.:-D

I was half convinced that Kentucky had bastardized a french expression and adopted it in it's slang, inproper form: "wolla". And even put it in the dictionary.
 
well, i got my bar end mirrors on, i bought a set of clubmans first though as i didnt like the stock bars much....

wow, the clubmans are sweet but way uncomfortable...

it looks way badass, but needs different bars for sure....

"Superbike" bend bars are a good compromise. Also if you like them a little a higher and wider, the "dirt track / flat track" #10 (I think) bend is nice.

As far as bar end mirrors go, I love em, but you cant see jack on the highway, not that any mirrors do much for you on the highway. Everything is just a blurry mess but they definately work great around town. Also, I think they are ok under the bars, but only a cafe style bike...

Heh .. you can hear some interesting variations of many words in this area. .. but I am not sure what j.w.napier was going for .. but I was only joking around.

That looks pretty sexy. How tall are you, long arms? I'm 6'1" with monkey arms. I think clubmans might not be a bad thing.
 
im 5'10" average arms and it rides pretty comfy now... not so easy on the back or neck, but i think i can get used to it. im gonna do 200 miles on it next weekend and see how bad it really is
 
the mirrors? are they? i just mounted them and turned them so i could see..

should they face with the fat side out? i guess they do look a little funny

ill have to change it up and get some more pics during daylight!
 
Napoleon advertises that theirs can go either way. Don't listen to Jeff. He just wants you to do it his way.
 
Nice bike, looks sharp!

I ordered myself a set of Napoleon bar end mirrors for my 1100 along with some new SuperBike bars. I have the same mirrors and SuperBike bars, along with a set of Clubman bars for the CB500.

Anxious to try them out...

I only want the best for my buddy, Nate. The main idea is to be able to see out of 'em , Billy. Just for that wisecrack, I'm gonna stick another 'tater in you're tailpipe. :-D
