how warm does it get up there in the summer?

 

It gets about 86 F here, sometimes a little warmer, but I try to head south for a trip every year. This year we are looking at going as far south as Arizona, possibly Texas.

They recommend that you remove the lowers somewhere around 60 F. I only really use them for rain.

 

gonna ride the whole way out?

 

Ride is planned to average 650-1100 miles a day. Some days long, some shorter. I want to ride, I have not been over the border since the accident, on July 11, 2014. I survived to ride again...

 

Just took the bike around the block with the apes on. Felt good. Brake lever felt a little spongy, buy it's hard to remember what it felt like before.

Could that just be from the longer hose or do you guys think I need to bleed them some more? I reverse bled them the first time, so there really shouldn't be any air in there, but I guess it's possible.

 

Give it a little time and see if it starts to feel better or fades more, I had the same kinda feeling when I changed my bars out. Mine felt better after a few rides or I got used to it can't say for sure. Everything feels different when the bars are changed so you may be a little hyper sensitive right now.

 

same here, it took a couple good rides but mine is much better

 

how bad?

 

Totaled my 07 Street Bob. Broken ribs, internal injuries to kidney and spleen, torn muscles in my back, black and blue from head to toe. Spent 5 fun filled days in two different Montana hospitals. Being all geared up probably saved my life. F'n Bambi.

Took me 7 years to build the Bob, did the Lo in a year to get it to where I wanted it. Only major thing I want to do to the Lo yet is a set of cams. They will really wake up the 103.

 

Mother - There is probably still some bubbles in the master cylinder. When I replaced the last front brake line I spent the good part of a day pulling the brake lever every once in a while to get the last bit of air out of the master cylinder. I did this until the lever was no longer spongy. They will eventually bleed out them self into the reservoir.
