I noticed that my kick stand was a little saggy. The spring has been on there for 9 years, time to replace it. I headed down to the dealer at lunchtime today and picked up a new spring, a couple bushings, and a clip.

When I got home I put the bike up on the lift. The old spring was so loose it I pushed it right off with my hand. I installed the new parts, and now the jiffy stand is nice & tight.
Small, inexpensive, but important job. I wouldn't want that stand falling down while riding, that would put a damper on things.

 

Swapped my drag bar for tracker bar and added a fairing.

 

Cleaned off all the dust and pollen built up from riding.
What'dayall recommend for cleaning it? Normal car wash soap n water or ...?

 

Longer jiffy stand.



Breather tubes.

 

I washed, fueled and packed her in prep for a trip to Austin this weekend.

 

Supertrapp 2:2 XR style pipes. I like the fact that with the disc, I can change the tune/loudness of it. I also mounted my RSD bob job seat the other day. It's great for long legs and let's you stretch out.

 

So when you want to bomb around town WOT you can make it crazy, but on a long leg you can tone it down to a more reasonable level? Nice!

 

Had "Leah" almost a year now and topped 3K miles today since then. Rains finally stopped so did a 60+ mile ride out west. Absolutely beautiful day!

 

Changed the map on my PCV, got stumbling on startup again, so back it goes. I tried the 'added fuel on startup' but it didnt help.
Removed the 'anti pop on decel' though. Since tightening up the spark plug, it came back a bit and kinda like how nasty it sounds.

 

Front fender chop and headlight relocate/brow delete
