I've been scouting them roads out , but definitely up for learning more.

Just got the bike home! Eagle Mike lowering links going on hopefully tonight.

Wrenching on it before I ride it.

She's home. Found her in Fort Payne for $4500. Only 674 miles and already had SW crash bars, SW skid plate, and Tusk panniers installed. Ready to ride.

WOW, a 20 year old Shadow. Was he making it look easy or struggling with it?.
I took the rear sub fender off last night and cut 3/4 of it off. Relocating the tag on to the fender with tag lights will be tonight's project.

Anyone have advice on how much to cut out of the stock kickstand with the Eagle Mike's 1" lowering kit installed? I only have one shot at making this right. She seems to sit too much upright as it is now, but I'm going to lower it, so that will change everything.

Sounds like you had an Eric Bottomlee sighting.

He rides that Nighthawk off road better than I do my dirtbike. :)

Welcome to MC/AL from Tuscaloosa. I have an '09 KLR that I love. It's not really great at anything , but it's pretty good at everything. Better than a dirt bike on the street, and better than a street bike in the dirt. Looks like you got a killer deal on it too. Hope to see you out there.
