One more thing. The bar end is broken off the right side grip. I've never removed grips on these bikes, as I like the oem grips the best. Trying to figure out if this is a replaceable bar-end like most bikes, or is the whole grip made as one piece and I will have to replace the whole throttle grip?

And some pics from yesterday. Good times with my beautiful fiance!

You are only missing the chrome cap on the end. You can buy them at Kawasaki part #11012-1975. That white plastic sleeve is what rotates when you give it the gas.

I ride 35 out of Scottsboro when I ride to Fort Payne and Little River Canyon. Rainsville has definitely changed in the last 25 years. Worked the phone lines for a short time in the 90's. Noticed the Tennessee River in some of the pics. Co rd 67 is a nice ride by the river from 35 to Guntersville. Once in Guntersville ya got to do The Top Of The River. I can make a meal out of the cornbread, slaw, and the pickled onions appetizers.

That's actually where we went! Ate there for my bro in law's birthday. I've eaten there several times. We usually ride lookout mountain, up to Chattanooga TN when we are out and about, but often end up in Guntersville, Albertville, Boaz, Gadsden, etc too. Living in a small town like Rainsville, we are used to going places like Guntersville and other surrounding areas for quality dining experiences Lol. The overlook pics were taken at Guntersville State Park. Always nice riding by the TN River and Guntersville Lake.

Awesome, thank you! I ordered one and from reading it looks like they just screw on via reverse thread.
