Did the bike sit all winter? Maybe a mouse built a nest in there after the service?
The way that stuff was in there, I doubt it was in there this winter. Some of the hay (Bottom and outside layer) was caked on there. In my opinion, that isn't a few months of sitting.. But hey... Bike should run like a champ after the filter change :(.
 
Hard wired the gps mount.

Installed a LED voltage gauge.

Quick suspension adjustment, rebound and preload up front.

Quick clutch cable adjustment.

Road to work.

rode it today to school and work. think i will plan on cleaning it up tomorrow. stopped in at work to get a visor for my helmet and got a free tinted one! looks great now!
 
replaced the subframe on sunday, oil change, right rearset, installed painted fenders and chin spoiler and diy clutch lever monday. picking up master cylinder parts in the morning. i love working on my bike
 
Found out this morning the front harness is on backorder and the bike should be finished by the 20th.

Welp, Besides the long wait atleast I have a date now :p
 
Tried to set it on fire.
You must not have succeeded?

I rode to the HD shop, they didnt have any textile type pants. So I went to a local Mom and Pop shop and got prices on a few styles. They want about $130 for a pair of waterproof cordura riding pants. I think that is a bit too much.

Then I went for a 60 mile ride, a little chilly, it is only 40 here. It was fun tho.

I cleaned mine up and made it look like it was on fire! Some WD sprayed on the motor, tooth brush and rag did the trick. Washed the bike sprayed it down, wipe it off, turned it on let it smoke for a while. Lubed the chain and wiped it down. Now I'm going to pull the air box off and see if the plates open all the way after the R6 throttle tube install. Boredom makes you do stupid ish.
