Rode it. Going to make a ******* flyscreen when I get home so that the ******* cops don't ******* give me **** about not having a ******* windshield anymore.
 
I added the Holeshot brand mirror extenders and adjusted my TPS. Not sure if either help yet because it snowed frickin' 9 inches Thursday night/Friday morning and it is still wet and cold! The extenders were a breeze but be careful tightening the mirror as it will take the paint (maybe its powdercoat) off of the extender if/when it digs in when tightened too hard. I ended up doing it a bit to one of them....

As for TPS, when revving the throttle in the lower rpm range I could feel a difference (it seemed smoother) but won't tell for sure until I ride it. I didn't have too much trouble with the security torx, just took my time and only needed to move the sensor adjustment about an 1/8th of an inch. The line moves at 1800 rpm now, ~3500 rpm before the adjustment.
 
I road the living **** out of it!
 
Chaged plugs wohoo. Was a pain in the ass. My home made socket plug grabber thing wouldnt let go of the **** plug and got stuck in the hole. Came close to putting some glue on the end of a socket extension but thankfully I got it out after 20 min. haha

90 min for a plug change . F+
 
Cannot ride due to a broken right radius racing 2 weeks ago but I'm building up a 2nd G2 sv which will have the GSXR 750 front and an F3 rear wheel + a superbike motor with slipper clutch.

Steve, sorry about the broken arm. I hadn't heard about you crashing. That stinks for sure.



I rode 350 miles today. It was f'n HOT.
 
I put the fairings back on it... It's got its MOT- annual roadworthiness test- due next week and though it was still legal with the fairings off it looked bloody awful, cable ties and tape everywhere and a wee flyscreen made of cardboard :eek: First impressions last!
 
Removed the silencers from the leos last week, man what a difference!

Today-rode it to work, gonna reverse my trajectory in the morning.
 
So how's your ass feeling??
My ass feels fine, but I have a nice headache from the heat. (I was going to say it felt firm, but that would be a lie.)
 
Rode a little over 100 miles, readjusted the new chain, had it a bit too tight. Scrubbed the flung grease off of the rear wheel. Used it as a really big flyswatter and killed a bunch of bugs with it.

Well I'll have to check that out in a few, K. ;)
 
Woke up in Eureka Springs, AR - came back home to Topeka, KS on it, smiling all the way. Managed a little over 50 MPG on the way back. Made it on two tankfulls.

Pulled the ballistic nylon pants off from over the jeans, pulled the luggage off the bike and kissed the g/f.

A fine end to a wonderful three day trip.
This is what life was made for.
 
Unpacked the trailer she's gonna be riding on to the rally. Now to plan the decking. Don't think I will have time to paint it this week. Also gotta get a second chock for Suzanne's bike for when I pick her up in 7 days.
