Over the last couple weeks I've been busy on the bagger.

New wheels and tires.
Oil, primary, and transmission fluid changes.
Fixed a broken exhaust hanger
Went to the Dyno shop and got tuned right finally.
Fixed the broken headlight adjuster.
Installed a Soundstream HDHU.9813RG last night.

Actually been riding it!

 

Are you getting a new bike?

 

Not at the moment.

 

Okay, just saw yours in the classified

 

Yes the one I can’t even give away.

To add for a 2nd bike.

 

Replaced the rubber transmission vent tube on the Ultra. It installs from the inside of the top cover, so you need to remove the cover. You can only get about 1/8 of a turn at a time on most of those cover bolts. I also checked the bike over for loose hardware. On our trip to Thousand Islands, NY and PA roads gave the bike a good "shake down" I thought my teeth might fall out on I-81 near Syracuse!

 

Applied scratch and swirl remover and then waxed the bike. This will bring rain, for sure.

 

They are just as fun to remove on the M8, possibly a bit worse. I put my Trask vented cover on, and used the same tools I used on my 110, and I think I was getting less than that 1/8 turn

I am curious, was your vent tube damaged, needing replacement?

 

Well, it was a rainy day again, so I figured it was time to finally install the Rinehart DBX45's. I like the sound, deeper and louder than stock but not obnoxious.

 

More tear down and mock up…
