Repainted the coil bracket using the Harley "Texture Black" engine paint, and while I was at it I redid the AC with the same paint. Matches the cylinders much better than the "Wrinkle Black". Also installed the new plug wires from DK Custom.

 

Can't wait to see what you do with the pipes.

 

I'm kinda curious about that myself...

 

Too damn hot down here!

 

Wow. Too hot to ride. I didn't realize that was possible. Too cold to ride...now that's always a problem for me, especially around here. I'm a warm weather rider by preference. Call me a wimp, but when the temps drop below 50 I take the car. The hotter it gets the more I want to ride the bike.

 

I moved to Phoenix in September 73, 115 the day I got there. Bought a used Honda 750 right away since only went there with one car & wife needed it. Took the frame mount fairing/shield off right away, rode to work, got home & put the fairing back on, & wore leather gloves to protect from the heat. If it's really humid and 100+, speed cools; really dry and 100+, it acts more like a convection oven, speed just increases the pain. I'd rather dress for it and ride at 32 than 102 - you can't ride naked, and that wouldn't really help anyway.

 

Imagine doing 75 mph and sweating. Houston sucks. I need to get outta here....

 

Ok, that makes sense. I guess the hottest weather I've ridden in was North Carolina in the summer - 98 degrees with 98% humidity. Riding was a pleasure in those conditions. Didn't think about the dry heat factor of the AZ/South Texas variety. You gize have my sympathies...but only for a couple of months a year.

 

Damn man, I honestly didn't realize. Sorry street.

How are the temps in the evening? Any better?

 

I remember those days when I was in Sierra Vista.
