    • More tweaking of bar risers. After a 1700 mile ride this week I realized that I needed my bars to come back towards me. The bars felt good before my Corbin seat but the Corbin seats you further back and caused me to reach forward more which caused numbing in my thumb and index finger. Another problem was that I ended up sitting toward the front narrower part of the seat and anyone with a Corbin knows that is not a comfy place.
      I picked up some Rox pivoting bar risers that mount into my existing 7/8" clamps. Looks and feels better. I will be testing it out Saturday.

          • Beautiful scenery. I live in Colorado so mine gets to see quite a bit of the dirty stuff also.

            • Replaced mismatching Fairing Bolts, and found a solution to the glue left from OEM decals.

              • Finally got a stock airbox and replaced those stupid K&N's.. You can see I still have a lot of work to do with what the previous owner gave me. I also ripped out that stupid small K&N filter on the breather, the Choke shaft bracket is bent, need to find a replacement as well as a small cap for one carb. (and yeah, the battery. shhhhh :P )

                      • Rode it to work and back. Riding back I got trapped in a classic Florida afternoon monsoon. Waited under an overpass for an hour and had a nice talk with a FHP officer who had the same idea. Then upon arriving to my neighborhood, I discovered the whole street was flooded. So I rode the last leg home on the sidewalk.

                            • I finally had time to finish putting the carbs back together and put on the bike. Can't fire it up and do the sync until I change the oil. I will get on the tomorrow.

                              • Had a blown bulb in cluster; replaced all bulbs with LED. Will see how long before they vibrate out... the bases I had with my honda kit aren't perfect in it.

                                Seeking super glue or a new third eye plastic cover... cracked mine. No - I'm not paying $40 on ebay for it.
