Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.

Changed the oil for the first time myself and bought and R6 throttle tube which should be here before the weekend.
I lurked on DCSportbikes a little yesterday and saw your thread. Looks (what I understand) to be typically fabulous Nudist work. More pics, please.
I'd go plastic, to limit sparks in case it falls off/you wreck.
Threw my new Pazzo shorties on last night...they are siiiiiick.

Gasoline doesn't just burst into flames as soon as it's exposed to air, mind... It's the fumes that burn/explode, not the liquid petrol. An airtight can filled to the brim is pretty safe, unless you throw it on a fire.
I wonder how many people get to burn slowly to death in their crashed cars because everyone KNOWS that a burning car will explode like a nuclear bomb ;D
yeah... and those Camp Fuel containers are designed for fuels (gas included) so they are very durable... just toss it in a bag and tie it to the back
those camp fuel containers are strong enough to withstand falling out of a backpack when hiking/semi rock climbing, falling about 10 feet and bouncing down a rather steep incline for about 100 yards... it was dented and the plastic ring to strap it to a caribeener clip on the top of the cap was cracked but the container itself was still good and it did not leak
... and you would only need to put it on as a temp test to see if your fuel level sender works... otherwise you could be pushing... I had that happen once...
The circuit was good so the shop manual test to see if the lights work was fine... however the sender didn't work so the light never came on

Just bought oil for the much needed oil change. Next maintenance day will include oil change, lube of various parts, chain clean/lube, control adjustment, and work on the seat cowl. Sometime this weekend hopefully.
Got most of my parts*see sig* from the mail box today *hard to move on crutches 
* Im missing the foot pegs and the levers...so Im guessing the post office made a mistake so Im going to have to go back tomorrow...
Cant wait to get that stubby installed tho!

Do the crutches have anything to do with the "Flesh Mounted Blinkers?"
Freudian slip perhaps?

I cleaned it and lubricated the chain. Then went for a ride and cleaned it again before tucking it in for the night in my barn. Yeah... I'm hooked.
Fitted my new Shad top box to the Renntec rack. Fitting was extremely straightforward. I think it's a little too large for the bike but I probably won't ride with it all that much
![Image]()
Here it is with my helmet in it for scale. Note that it claims that it fits two helmets. Mine is XXL (and the helmet too) but clearly that is not the case. Maybe two of those HD beanies.

And here is with the box removed. Unfortunately, it looks like it will make it hard to use my cargo net which is what I usually like to rock with. We'll see how that goes.

Note that this is quite a lot for the poor little Renntec rack. I'll be making sure to load it lightly until I can either come up with some reinforcement or replace with something a bit more substantial.
And here is my GPS which I actually fitted a couple of weeks ago but didn't take pictures to post

All in all, it was a great evening with the mistress!
Told the wife I had some "running around to do".....
Took "Suzie" out drinking (Rotella T Full Syn, and a couple Seafoam shooters), before long she was absolutely greased (chain too).
This led to some heavy petting, and a little bit of fooling around in the shower (shiny clean).
About then, things started to get hot and heavy. I played a little with her......uh......box (battery box, gone), and then messed around a bit more "down there" (1/2 turn more comp damping).
Eventually, she let me ride her for about a half hour. I just snuck quietly back into the house a little while a go.
Hope my wife doesn't find out!

EDIT
In case anyone doesn't quite understand my little story (possibly ShaggyZ, lol), I should translate-
"This evening I changed my oil, washed my SV, removed the battery box, adjusted my shock, and went for a short ride"

^^^ I'll never understand that crap. Where's that shaking-head-in-disappointed-and-disturbed-confusion face when you need it?
I cut and welded a new 1.5" shorter Kickstand for her today.
Now she wont fall over if it get windy.
Any suggestions on what Chain and sprockets I should put on her, Normal to hard rides in the mountains.
thinking 520 but don't care it it's 520 or 525 was thinking about this one
