just purchase buell xb headlight setup, cant wait to do the install.

 

big project ,someone pointed out that my rear directional wires were cross connected,rt to left,i fixed that this morning,i think i put my bikes bodywork together in poor lighting ,last time.

 

I used Bar Keepers Friend on my exhaust.

Looks nice but I kinda like the color the exhaust gets, it's like a patina imo.

 

Changed the coolant. Waiting for it to cool some so I can remove radiator cap again to see if all the air is out.

 

Still fighting my eletrical turn signal gremlins.

 

- Changed fork oil, an oil seal, and a dust seal.
- New Tires
- Valve adjusted

Went to another car show and rode around 60 miles.

Saw this Ferrari 599 GTB.

 

18,000 oil change. i switched it up to full synthetic from the semi.

 

Drained the fuel, and disconnected the battery for shipment...

 

Was going to post this last night but my photobucket was on a maintenance cycle.
Rode to taco tuesday at Cook's Corner with Tom, he borrowed a CBR from 1040gal.

I was supposed to meet him at a Ralph's, then told him I wasn't going to make it. I was able to get everything done and I was there waiting for him. Right after I got done texting I saw Tom ride by cuz he thought I wasn't going to be there, lol. I caught up with him and we rode to Cook's.

Kriss got a new bike and leaving the gas station she hit a pothole and fell over.

Hooligan says last nite might have been the biggest ocmoto turnout at Cook's Corner.

 

Installed a nice used Yoshimura RS-3 slip-on to replace my shorty Scorpion that was too L-O-U-D!!,
From this (pic before I rivoted the end-caps on and put the clamp on) -

To this -

A new left side frame slider (Motoslider) to replace this one that has been thru 3 lowsides on the left -

To this

Replaced my standard spools with Motosliders swingarm sliders for more protection-

And my Pilot Road 2s came in today, but I have to go pick them up this weekend.

 

I failed VA state inspection today :thumbsup: I'm already ~16 days late so no biggie.

 

Rode about 200 miles today. Part of that running errands, and part of it just out cruising in the beautiful evening in SE Michigan. Weather was AWESOME today for riding.

 

Washed my SV and rode to Texas Loosey's bike nite.




It was sponsored by Mid Cities Honda.







A couple of ocmoto guys won stuff. Saw my friend from Edelbrock again.

 

I put on some bar end mirrors and so far I relly like them. I can actually see what's behind me pretty good.

 

Took the first big steps to replacing the 636 front end with the GSX-R front end. I can't believe how easy this mod is.

The top triple clamp from Pit-Eck is stunning and well worth the very reasonable price. Yes it was perfectly straight too. Also the fork lock still works, granted, it locks the forks going stright, but you can still lock them - very important on a track bike?

And one last shot for my biggest sponsor/supporter

Now all thats left is to wait for the "straight" brake rotors to arrive. bleed out the brake lines, wash everything and put it back together for a big teaching event next weekend.

Ordered gauffer ss brake lines, front and rear. Both sets blue with gold tips. Also from ebay I ordered the non reflective pin striping for wheels in red. Cant wait till it all comes in. Next are powder coating the stock handlebars black, rear view mirrors, as well as exhaust. So tough to decide what exhaust I want though!

 

Put on some cheap driving lamps to give me a little more light ... now I need to aim them because when I turn them on they light up the second floor of my house as well as the ground.

 

put on my fender eliminator. thanks to dubtecv2 (member here), my winter project started in july haha

 

eddiemon needs his own thread...

 

We'll just call it "Eddiemon." We should just merge all his posts into it. Though, it would be fun to have a thread specifically for his "Hi soandso. Ride safe!" posts.

Eddie, any time you want to respond to a thread, you'll just go back to your own thread and post it.
