You should add another Brembo!

Got started on the risers. My brother is designing the machine fixture now. Hopefully have them to powder beginning of the week.

Yeah, its just that I dont feel like spending more time and money to swap out the right lower fork on the street bob. Im happy with the single disk, maybe add a fork brace to stabilize the front end. The tokico will go in the rear Hd should have just come with the right side ready for caliper mount! :P

Remember, one finger pull, not four. Wonder how I learned that??? tp dd50
Not sure what you meant here, but Im a two finger man... :P

About a year-year and a half ago, I bought a bunch of Chemical Guys stuff to cut, polish, and wax my 2002 Chevy pickup...it is black and has been in all 4 seasons but mostly in the desert sun. I have used a lot of different products and did a lot of reading online before buying there stuff. There may..or may not be better products out there but I'm not looking anymore. You may be onto something about the cult following but give it a try, I would be surprised if you did not like.

My FXDC was a 4 finger stop, which I used not thinking, on a emergency stop while on my Ninja, normally a one finger stop, locked the front brake and high sided. Took a few months to recover. The feel of Brembos is great. Bet you will really enjoy it. tp

I see, now I understand. Yeah, growing up on a race bike I always used one finger, but strange enough, two fingers on hd on regular commute. Maybe its the bigger 1" bar or just bad stock braking system, I dont know. Urban downtown riding I just cover my brake with my middle finger. Everything happens naturally. Im just weird that way I guess... Lets see if I can stop with this brembo with one finger! Hope you recovered well on your accident!

I'm in the market for new exhaust and am now trying to figure out if/what fuel management system is on my bike. It has the Arlen Ness Big Sucker and Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes so I'm assuming it's Stage 1 but the previous owner didn't give me the orange tuner with it. I'm hoping that means it has a different module on it to save me buying a whole new one but I'm having a hell of a time figuring that out...is there any way to tell what might be on it? My birthday is this weekend so I preemptively have birthday money burning a hole in my pocket and I really want new pipes but obviously gotta figure this out first.

It may not seem like much, but it's good to be feeling better, motivated.

Today I filled the primary with one quart.

Take a look at that old fluid...blah!

Now draining the transmission. I'll let it drip out overnight.
