Nothing for now. I need to powder coat the transmission cover plate though. Finally got to ride today. First time out in a month, 180 miles so far. I'm at a job, and then another 10 miles home.
The floorboards are a excellent touch. I see your Vegas lights too! Lol
I was going to install a garage door opener, but ended up going on a 315 mi ride instead. Excellent day for a ride - coastal temps in the mid 60s, inland mid-high 90s.
Rode for about 120 miles, round trip. Picked these up, to help complete my blackout process. Then went and got a jumbo lump crab cake, cooked to Maryland perfection! It was a good day!
[QUOTE=SSG_B;20784406]Got some used Vance and Hines true duals and put those on. Came with some S&S slipons but I don’t really care for the sound. Will probably put my Reindharts back on in place of the S&S. Also replaced the shifter shaft bushing in the front of the primary. No more sloppy shifter. Tomorrow the battery arrives and hopefully that cures the intermittent starting issues.
can anyone tell me what mount I need for this backrest? It came with the bike but there is no mount under the seat.
I spent well of $200 for one from dealer and the adjustment while riding is sooooo worth it!
Shortened the included transmitter wire to fit neatly, soldered, heat shrink, and a few zip ties to tension relief and avoiding turning it into a rat's nest.
Before reinstalling the fairing reinserted the main fuse, plugged the receiver into an extension cord so I could press the SET button on it while operating the light switch. First checked the Tx light, blinks on a light toggle - check. Hold SET, plug in receiver for a reset. Unplug receiver, plug in, hold SET to pair. Pairs fine - check. Then reinstall fairing, clear all codes, turn off, back on, check that no new codes appear. All good.
Wire up the receive to the crappy old Liftmaster. The only problem was the ridiculously thin wire they supply was a little tough to get to seat solidly in the button slots on the opener. Like trying to secure a strand of silk... I almost considered soldering on a small piece of solid copper hookup wire at the, like 22 AWG or so. But wrapping it tightly around the existing button ends seems to have worked. Still a bit how-ya-doin.
But all in all, works great. Glad I sprung for that $30 fender guard. I might actually just leave it on when parked in the garage.
Installed the new bars, added Custom Dynamics front turn signals, changed engine oil and primary oil (AmsOil), installed the Trask derby. I've also broken some parts and really have had a hard time with the bike in general, but this is just a little update.
looking awful purty!!!! Nice job. What did ya break?
