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.

I lubed the chain yesterday and can't wait to give it a good ole fashioned soap n water bath this weekend. I usually use spray polish and shine and I will after it drys then back to the waterless routine.

Rode to work after putting installing new sprockets, chain and front brakes over the weekend. The new gearing — 16 front and 45 rear — feels good so far. Bike is less buzzy at cruising speeds with a drop of 500 rpm or so

Took a ride before the rain gets here and family comes to visit for the weekend.

Last night picked it up from having the carbeurator jetted (had never been done from when the Scorpion exhaust was put on) and it now feels like a whole new bike. More responsive, doesn't sound like it's out of breath, shifts better, a lot smoother, etc... Rode it to work today despite threats of rain.

Didn't get to ride it to work, but plan on some quality time tonight.....just the two of us. I was thinking gonna work on some of the pesky stickers on the frame I still haven't taken them off, to busy riding. Then I think I'm going to start to undress her....starting with the little fly screen around the headlight and gauges. She's already naked, but less is more in my book, might even lose the front fender...just have to see where the night takes us!:hug:
