OK thanks! Wonder if instead of that could just use some positaps so dont need to cut/splice on the blinker wires then!

I don't have the motodynamics, but I don't see why you couldn't do that. The Y adapter would just make for a cleaner install.

Today, I installed a motodynamics tail light and fender eliminator from DMP. They day before yesterday, I put in a lowering link.

Within the next day or so, I plan on lowering the forks about 1". That will be it for a while.

Same here. It's a great tail light. get's the job done, bright, has the 3 quick flashes to get peoples' attention, and the integrate turn signals just look too flipping cool.

I got rid of them completely. Didn't like the old turn signals... they felt cheap and are just ugly to me. : /

A few days ago I rode out to Seward, AK (~250 mile round trip):



Then yesterday, I decided to push it and made a trip to the end of the Homer Spit and back (~450 mile round trip):



I am loving this bike, and this weather we've been having! It helps having two week off work out of every four in order to take advantage of it.

Ordered some new tires, michelin pilot power 3, 120/60ZR-17 front and 160/60ZR-17 rear. I hear they are really good tires from all the reviews i read and havent found anyone who has something bad to say about them

bought a rear stand dmp s spec iii, compliments the trex spools nicely. I am thinking of buying a front head stand from them as well so this winter when i send my suspension into race tech i dont have to rig something up to hold my bike... (i know i could do the suspension myself but I dont have all the special tools to disasemble the forks and they do it all day and its worth the extra: 120 for the front and 120 for the rear, to have it done by someone who does it for a living)

Good idea... I am feeling the same about my fork and shock. But I looked more at price and figured that I will just wait till next year or the following when it is time to change the oil anyways in the forks, that way they will already be taken off.

Isn't Racetech 120 PER Fork tube, not $120 for the whole fork setup? When I was looking at it for them to do, I thought it came out to be like $240 front and $120 back + the $228 for the total spring set front, then like $300 or so for the 2 gold valves for the fork tubes. Thought everything was per quantity of 1 not the set.

I'd just go Hyperpro front and rear. Made a world of a difference and waaaaay cheaper! I was very happy with it.

I was seriously looking at the Hyperpros, but I am definately no light/middle weight. Big guy here working to get back down to my weight during college before my dad passed away. I really need to make sure that whatever springs I get, that is it, no more going back for re-dos.
