Got up this morning and headed out to the garage to finish up the new tire installation, only thing left was to put in the Dyna Beads as I forgot to take them with me when I dropped off the rims at the Ducati dealer.
I've done it before, but today was especially a PITA. Ended up the only thing I could come up with to vibrate the valve stem (no... mommy doesn't have one) was my rechargeable tooth brush. I removed the brush part and used it to vibrate the beads thru the valve stem.
Man's gotta do what a man's gotta do...
Took the bike out for a 30 mile 'shakedown' to scuff the new tires in, and make sure everything was fully tightened up. Looks like I'm good to go for another 12,000 - 13,000 miles tire wise.
Added some Joker Machine mini floorboards for my "Highway pegs". Really they're just forward controls minus the controls so I can stretch my legs. also added a Flo Motorsports shift peg as my brake pedal as the TC Bros peg that comes with their mid controls is pretty slippery.

I freshened up my lithium battery with the charger, took about 30 minutes. Looking forward to riding, but we just got 10.5 inches of snow! Gosh!
Funny, I did the same thing yesterday. Went from 70% to 100% in 30 minutes or so.
How do you know when to put on the charger?
I have a tracker on my phone for that. There's an app 4 that. LOL
