This weekend we did a bit of testing on a new front fork set up-
It was a reminder of the hundreds of hours we spend a couple years back testing dozens of different setups.
Fortunately it was just one new set up this last weekend.
First we popped out the forks...
...then removed the internals- Performance Springs and Intiminators. This is a really good setup that has performed well.
We then replaced the spring and the damper tube, along with a different weight fluid for the newly designed damper tube.
We rode one of our test circuits before the clouds let loose with some pretty heavy rain. We'll be doing some more test riding over the next week with this new setup.

Yesterday it was 72* & Sunny and I got to ride quite a bit...had some appointments up in Memphis. 
Today it is 45* and pouring rain!
Moved two bikes yesterday-
Dwayne's Ironhead Project Bike got moved from Devin's home shop back to Dwayne's house. I know he has new wheels and tires he's putting on it...but this is how it looked yesterday.
The SBS Chop Project Bike got moved from the shop to my home. Here's a pic of it sitting in its new spot at the house. Hopefully I will be able to get back working on it late this month.

BTW, you and a couple of others have inspired me to begin Moto Vlogging. I have started collecting the necessary hardware. I am excited to share the Black Hills with everyone.
And Kevin, we got the 12" of snow today. Tomorrow.....nearly 50.

Good to hear on both accounts. I miss my '07 FXD.

Think positively!
Yesterday it was 75* and no rain. WhooHoo!
I did a 150 mile loop....about 1/2 back roads and 1/2 interstate.
Stopped off at all 3 Dealerships in our area, plus one Indie shop.
Was dropping off WOG Magazines at each location.
It was a very nice afternoon putt.
At one of the Dealerships I saw this Copper Plated bike and took a few pics-
Lots of details. Talked to the owner, he's had it this way for 4 years...it's holding up really well.
