Bike looks great. You walking OK yet? We get city people on my rural loop once in awhile pulling a U turn in the middle of no where causing problems for bikes.

Your crash in the city or like the above?

Anyway, I had a U turn babe crash. Following her, she goes right, I go to pass, BUT she then does the kook U turn thingie. I was doing slower than you, so no injuries. Bike ok, overall.

I did almost the same thing once, except the cage in front of me puts his blinker on to turn right and just as i am pulling past his his driver door he turns left, left me know where to go but into his garage with him, yelling and screaming at the top of my lungs of course.
 
Attention to detail

Nice attention to detail! I like the tapered head bolts for the bracket attachment. The polishing is a nice touch. Did you make the inserts that go into the 2 rubber mounts on the stock bracket? Do they just sit over top of the rubber like washers or replace the rubber inserts completely. Again, nicely done! :bowdown:
