What did you do to your bike today?
- Thread starter Diluted
- Start date
UR right they are lower than the stock for sure
Tried to get the 4 Allen screws off of my bike, under the seat, to remove my rear fender and gave up. Nothing I tried could get them loose. I guess I am just going to have to go at it again when I have more time to figure it out. If they have lock-tight on them, then it is working really really good. :banghead:
Allen socket + 3 foot breaker bar

I changed the chain on sunday after 15,000 miles... It was kinked, stretched, you name it. It would loosened just after about 200 miles, even after re-tightening. The new chain feels sweet 
much smoother ride now

Screwed up and accidently left my key in the ON position in the garage.. I wore the poor girl out and she was totally dead. Yesterday morning plugged her into the Battery Tender to try and recover her but this morning (24 hrs later) I could only get a very very faint glow on the dash. No numbers or anything appeared.
Having this be an unplanned battery replacement I got a new battery from my local dealer (another stock battery) for $95. I didnt want to wait into next week to get a new battery by online order, especially with the riding season in MN entering its final 3-4 weeks of good weather before the next final 3-4 weeks are likely pretty chilly come mid October.
So my Father in Law picked it up for me today while I was at work and I will hook it up to the tender for whatever time needed (I have been told only an hour???), then pop it into the bike so I can ride again tomorrow.

Wow, I don't remember mine being quite so tight when I put my FE on. Has been a little while though.

Mine weren't that bad
if your using a Allen key, you can use the closed end of a wrench for leverage on the allen.
I put new levels but when I post the pic my boos was coming and i turn off my phone haha that was a good one

I found the mod.... What's my prize?!!!
The screws are so tight that I couldn't get the grab bars off either. I will try again this weekend when Im not so pissed.

Use something be sides those little allens in the "L" shape. Use t-handles or sockets to get more leverage.
I ordered heat reflective foil for my airbox and gas tank. Didn't buy the gold though too expensive imo

Took the bike to my son's football practice. Five nights a week practice and game. I practically live at the field.

Loooove my metric hex sockets... The are sold at the auto parts chains too. You only need three... Speaking of which I think I'll write up a recommended tool list for our bike.
