72 CL100, Piglet

[trek97]

72 CL100, Ready to hit the trails.

Made to slip over bar ends. Customizing bar straps to fit w bark busters.

Using Kevlar and 4" Velcro so they can open up and secure to bars.

Added "Air-Ride" load leveling suspension to the Sienna.

Installed the fill valve next to 12v outlet. The jack stows behind the louvered cover.
Coveniently, with room enough for my little air compressor w handy 12v outlet right there.

Piglet and Rachels CB400 will be riding in style. 6x10 trailer UPGRADE. Woohoo!!!

Much improved over the crappy ass 20yo 4x8 Harbor Freight.

Forecast says up to 2 inches of rain Wednesday. So I Called into work sick to do a few last minute chores...

Oil change for the 400...

Got tires balanced.

Checked pressure in van spare. Which is mounted upside-down under van so you have to drop it down to check pressure. UGH!

Snug as a pair of bugs. 8). Loaded up and ready to roll out early Thursday morning.

Hello, any idea where I can get a luggage rack like this one? The one I found on ebay just doesn't work for me.
Any help appreciated! Thanks

No idea dude, It came with the bike...never had to look for one.

Hard to believe Piglets 49yo. Still running like a champ…and it only took 49 kicks to get him going. Actually I can’t recall the last time I took him for a spin…maybe a couple + years.
Thank goodness for pure gas.

Just as sharp as ever. I'm just starting in on a friend's XR100R. My first journey into the small singles. Should be a blast!

Thanks my man, yes the little ones are truly the most fun. I love that it’s just as capable, both on and off road. Looking forward to see your friends project completed.
