Dropped it off with Doc Weaver for a 103-107 rebuild and new exhaust. Beefing it up a bit.

 

Get well about those strokes and take care so you can keep riding

 

Wow!!! I had what I believe to be two mini strokes last year shortly after having surgery on my Ulnar nerve in my elbow. Scary stuff!!!! My Ortho begged me to go see a neurologist but I never did. Been several months now and hopefully all is OK. You just never know

 

Life throws some scary stuff at you sometimes. That was quite the experience, but they say I am lucky. It could have been much worse. I could have been paralyzed totally, partially paralyzed, all kinds of different things. It's been a eye opening experience that has forced me to take a look at how I take care of my health. I'm 48. Apparently, my blood pressure got so high it caused the tiny blood vessels in my brain to constrict which caused the supply of blood/oxygen to be compromised and that caused the strokes. It was a roller coaster ride of a week full of ambulance rides, ER visits, and a week long stay in the hospital, and lots of pills, shots, and tests.

When I got out of the hospital in February I was in pretty bad shape. I could barely talk, had trouble walking, balance, eating and swallowing. I was so weak I could hardly dress myself. It took me a long time to get enough strength back just to hold a motorcycle up, let alone ride one. The first time I got back on a bike I was really uncoordinated. I'm still not riding well. I'm not back 100% yet.

And let me tell you, when I got the bill for all this medical stuff, it was enough to give another stroke! LoL!

Today I ordered one of those little butane pencil torches for melting the shrink wrap when I get around to rewiring the bike's handlebar controls wiring to the bike wiring. I thought it would make a nice little tool. I like tool's. I haven't added a tool to the collection in a while.

 

Praying you get a full recovery!!!! My left hand is still numb and partially paralyzed from my nerve damage and most likely healed as much as it's going to. At least I can ride again and riding takes the pain away!!!! My right side leg, arm, and face went numb and weak twice for just a few minutes. Could have been related to the drug combo I was on after surgery or could have been strokes. Guess I'll never know now unless the big one hits but I freaking hate Drs and just don't go until **** really needs fixin , plus our BCBS now sucks!!!! Thanks Obama

 

back at yah!

I cleaned the front brake disc with rubbing alcohol and installed it with the new chrome screws, put some blue loctite on the screws and torqued screws to 24 ft. lbs.

Here are pictures, dunno why, just like adding pictures I guess.

 

New tyres. Michelin Commander II

 

Very happy with mine so far! Very confidence inspiring on dry, have yet to test wet grip. About 4k on them and no real sign of wear. Rear Dunlop was shot at 4500.

 

My bike came stock with Michelin Scorcher 31 that I thought were awful in the wet but I got 14.5k miles out of the rear. It'll probably rain here some tommorow. I'll report back.

 

Weill, I talked to him again yesterday. Sounds like he received enough requests for Wide Glide forks, so he'll be in the process of making those also. I'll post an update once he gets them rolling.
