Sure am. I live in Sherwood, OR. I figured you knew that since you mailed that 15" rotor I bought off you. LOL

Looks great! Best color out there for that model, and your tasteful mods pull it all together

Yeah I was thinking that like "Wait I sold him that brake kit, why cant I remember where he's at" lol.
We're getting hit with a massive storm, then clear skies for days. I'm excited to go explore more twisty roads to tear up my tires on.

We had great weather on the way up Friday night. Yesterday was overcast but warm enough to be in a flannel all day. Ride home last night was dry. I feel bad for all the guys that are heading home today. It's a nasty one out there. Lots of guys from Idaho and Nor Cal came up for it.

Just got back from owensboro, Kentucky from the river city bike expo. 1500 miles round trip from Louisiana taking the scenic routes. Got to meet, ride up and hang out with Sam and Susan from 2upJourneyJunkies on YouTube. Had a heck of a time. But looks like I caught a few bugs on the way home lol. And checked off 5 more states I haven't ridden in yet.

Yes it is. I'm 5'8 and long legged. It works well enough. I bought it while waiting on Freedom Shields to design one. On the trip I did quite a few miles of higher than I'd like to admit mph and it performed as needed. My helmet did vibrate a little at extreme speeds but I'm lending that more towards the foam worn down in my helmet and less on buffering of the shield.

Did you hit up Moonlite while you were in Owensboro? Man I love that place!
