As I progress through the rebuild of Project 22 I'm coming across more fun mods and extras.

Here we have a piece of tech-wizardry from a company called Nology. These are HotWires, the "most technologically advanced ignition wires available." Utilizing a built-in capacitor, these wires produce a spark 300 times more powerful, according to the manufacturer. I don't know about that, but they sure look the part. About $140 in a variety of colors.

Next up are are a set of Pazzo Racing control levers. These little pieces of functional bling hail from Canada. They look good, feel good, and offer 6-position lever adjustment. They'll set you back about $150 and are available from the manufacturer, on eBay and elsewhere. I've never had a set mounted on one of my bikes, so I'm looking forward to trying them on the road. Pretty cool.

I love throttle locks and cruise control. The ability to give your right hand a break on the straight stretches goes a long way, especially near the end of the day's ride. I like the Vista Cruise for it's simplicity, ease of use and low price, but this bike came to me with a set of good-looking Throttlemeister bar ends mounted up.

The Throttlemeister is a friction throttle lock with a matching left bar-end. Made right here in the Midwest (Milwaukee, WI) these high-quality pieces come in various weights, sizes and finishes. I have a stainless steel set on my ST1300 and this bike sports this sexy black matte finish. $120-$150, depending on options.
