How long before that grin disappears from your ugly face ?? :biggrin: :crackup Looks like it's pretty much stock.....except maybe for the seat....and those accursed grips. I'll be interested to see how you like them. I just changed mine back to stock and added foam sleeves; SOOooo much better.

Re: '97 vlx
If anyone messes with the odometer the mileage numbers will not stay in a straight line.The paddle on your throttle is called a"throttle rocker" and is used to prevent wrist fatigue on longer trips.

Re: '97 vlx
Good looking bike and you look good on it. Give it a good going over with your tools to check for loose items and do a service to get familiar with things. It'll make your bike smile.

The left one is just glued on. The right one comes with a throttle "sleeve" that the cables connect to. A stock set costs about $70. Foam covers: $15. Shop labor to put them on: $10......but my left one was loose already. P.S. The bar weights are INSIDE the end of the bars; don't try to remove them unless you REALLY need to. They are tricky.
