I take the cover off and sit on my bike every morning and make motor sounds by mouth! Fk my life I hate winter!

 

I went ahead and did the home made transmission cover vent. Other than getting access to bolts, job was very easy and parts are cheap. Even bolts were not a big deal, just takes a mini ratchet and some time. I did install a check valve from NAPA on the vent line. It’s gonna be 80 F here today, so about to go out and take it out for a ride.

 

And just to top off my new spoked wheel and wider 170 tire, I added my usual painted rim strips. Adds 5 horsepower

Ended up getting a set of LA chopper 6” kage fighters. Had a set of 3” riser extensions from bitchin seat co, but I found this mounted never used setup for a cheap price so I snagged them. Much better. Will test in the spring🤙🏼

 

I installed rear tire number 3 on my '19 Slim at +32K miles.

The oem Dunlop lasted about 10K miles. I had a set of ME888's on my last bike that I loved. Metzeler had introduced the Cruisetec so I gave it a try. I did like it but it only lasted about 10K miles as well.
Next I tried the Michelin Commander 3 Cruiser. I got just over 12K miles out of it. I was not a fan of it's wet weather performance.
This time, I went back to the Metzeler ME888. I did like the Cruisetec but no better than the ME888s. I'm hoping to get a few more miles out of the ME888.
