Had some good time on the bike this weekend. Rode 3 hours on Sunday with a 5 min break midway for coffee and a smoke. Wasn't tired from the seating position at all.
  • Applied Face Lift Unlimited Blue Wheel Stripe Decals
  • Checked Tire Pressure
  • Tightened Windscreen (Got some light buzzing while riding)

I synched my throttle bodies, adjusted the shift lever, and installed some Bikemaster handlebars, gained a little rise and a little pullback, now the riding position is something I can maintain for long periods of time.

Made some good progress on the custom luggage rack my buddy is brazing up, can't wait. That one will require a whole thread with pics, unless we screw it up.

I got to ride tonight!!! Took the bike a few miles down the road to the local car show. Felt so good. But I can tell I'm still not up to riding to work.

Last night I removed the windscreen, went to a 17 tooth front sprocket and filled up the tank. I rode to work this morning and loved both mods. The RPMs came down about 900 and the wind is much more manageable now.:america:

Thanks Klaus. That is two bits of information I've been looking for. In keeping with the post, I went out to the garage to see if my bikes were still dry in the wettest April on record.

Oh I forgot, I had to fix my turn signal on my FE, it came unhooked in the wiring. Good thing I did my pre-ride inspection! Didn't get to check the tire pressure though and my dads compressor was MIA and the one at Wawa never fills my tires up. When I drop it off tomorrow I'll clean the chain.

I install a 12V outlet the other day on my ride to hook up the GPS and whatever for the next big trip. I also can plug in my 12V compressor... I got that a while back because my wife had a very low tire on her car and I didn't want to destroy the sidewall driving to the gas station... I love multifonctionality! :thumbup:

Missing the right tool :(

Just received my T-Rex No Cuts in the mail today. Got off work and rushed home to get em on and take some pics before the sun went down...but guess what? I somehow misplaced one of the allen keys from my metric set. Just happened to be the 8mm size needed to take out the engine mount bolts. How lame is that?:( I guess this will just have to wait til another day :rolleyes:

Agreed! That's a pretty stressful ride. I haven't been on the interstate, yet. I'm sure it will be an intimidating experience.
