on my way home

I dropped in to Area 51 Custom Cycles on my way back from a shortish run this morning.
I was out catching the best of the autumnal weather. The sun was shining and the leaves are turning. All around are the glorious colours of "the fall" as our yankee cousins would say. There was a slight nip in the air from last night's frost but the sun soon warmed me up. Great biking weather!
But, to get back to Area 51.
It's good to see that they're still there and not just an idea which didn't work and is no more but a site on the web. There is a feel-good experience being in a workshop that is doing something that you love. It's almost as good as being able to do it yourself. Almost I said!
The guys there are really friendly and helpful. I've ordered a set of drag bars and was even contemplating getting them to fit them too. Only thing about that is the cost. I will order extended cable from them but as Richard pointed out, it is the time it will take, as it's a labour intensive job, which will drive up the price. He even as much as said that it is a job which wouldn't be too complicated so I will most likely do it myself.
That way I will be able to keep the difference to buy more parts.

I also had another look at the fitting for the rear turn signals and have changed my mind yet again!
I'm sure that I can attach them through the fitment for the back-rest supports.
That seems to be the best solution I've come up with so far!
