If this flood and F'd up hours/weather ever quit, I should start getting miles on mine again too.


I'm guessing that the april 30 TD is out of the question now though...

Well for those of you that may give 2 shits... I'll lay out the most recent updates.

I did a set of new speakers
http://www.twowheelfix.com/showthread.php?t=7455

Then I ordered a few other things within 2 orders.

the new air wing luggauge rack for the tourpack.



Then decided that the optional brake light might look good under there...

So I ordered that in the smoked lens.


I originally was setup to run as a running light but I wanted it to be just a brake light for more attention.


Also, picked up a lid organizer to help maximize space usage for upcoming travels.


Then for the long hauls I ordered a fully adustable backrest.

Started the install by mounting the mechanism


Run the cable and mount the lever


The seat goes back on and you don't even know the difference


grab the backrest itself


Instant, fully adjustable comfort



Put in for a new amp for my b-day, so we'll see if I get that this weekend.

Beyond that I think I'm done. Just got the bike back today from its 1k service (I always take every bike in for its first service). So I just want to put on some miles... can't wait to ride to work tomry.

Nice mods, brother. My days of riding to work are over. I haven't started my bike in 2 weeks.

Yeah the backrest can stay with passenger. Plus with a click of a lever in the seat hole it comes right out/off.

Mainly b/c I won't park it in a garage all day. Im just paranoid someone will steal it or fuck with it. And I have to wear a shirt and tie most days.

I did get a ride in today. First time in two weeks. Now, more rain.
