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.
On1wheel01
Finished Sonic Springs .85 and 15wt fork upgrade!
See?

Oh, and I also did the front reflective rim tape while I had the wheel off:

Rode her yesterday on the Cherohala Skyway, and today rode 129 down to 74, then east to 28, then south to Franklin, then came back on 1310 (Wayah Rd) through the Nantahala and around Wayah Bald, back to 74, thenup 129 to Robbinsville. LEOs are already out on the Dragon, so we blew it off. Saw one ranger on the Cherohala, and a local LEO in Tellico Plains while we were eating lunch.
It was a good weekend.
Wayah Road has some very tight switchbacks. Unfortunately, we were stuck behind five couples on HDs from Florida. Either they'd never seen a twisty before or they were totally new riders. 15 mph on the switchbacks was almost dangerous. I stayed back from them praying that they didn't go down from going so slow. Took us a good 10 miles to finally get around them. I want to do it again without the slow riders. Think it'll be a blast.

changed oil, lubed chain, tightened the mirrors, checked tire pressure (which reminds me, i need to find out what they should be) and started researching the N to S cable swap that's up next. then rode for a couple hours w/ Davin.

Yesterday - Checked valve clearances (ALL OUT OF SPEC ) so now I have to wait until Tuesday to get my dealer to order up some shims.
And I installed a 2007 636 rear shock.
Today I rode to work, enjoying the new rear shock and trying to feel it out to see what needs to be adjusted.
The list of things to do seems to be growing instead of shrinking...

I watched mine get unloaded from the shipping company truck. My bike and I are finaly in the same time zone again. Now I just have to mess with the whole change insurance, inspect and register nonsense and I'll be back on the road.
hmmm, since I'm on administrative leave pending termination.....I think I'll go ride.
And while I'm at it, maybe do a burn out at the fvcker's front door. (that would be the superintendent)

Washed, waxed, changed oil and filter, cleaned and lubed the chain. Wanted to change the chain and sprockets, but can't seem to get out to pick up the chain riviter SVandST said he would let me borrow. I need a job with better hours. Or daycare that stays open past 5:00
put the stock pipe back on, so that i could ride while the sealent is curing on the newly repacked muffler, and put on a oem oil filter...
