I attempted to seal up my oil leak with new crush washers and a smear of Hylomar on all sealing surfaces. I'm always nervous torquing those 14mm hollow aluminum banjo bolts but all seemed to go well. No test rides yet due to the rainy weekend. In the meantime, the guy who built my engine mentioned that it can get hot in traffic. I remembered that his donor bike had 2 oil temp gauges, one for oil going to the oil cooler and one for oil coming from the cooler back into the sump. So I ordered a gauge pod and fabbed an intermediate bracket to mount the pod to. I got the gauges mounted today. Eventually, I'll probably remove one on the oil gauges and mount the O2 gauge I got from the donor bike. That'll be an off season project because I'll need a bung added to my exhaust pipe.

Guess they don't even bother to steal BMW's.

Don't be jealous, guys. I promise to buy each of you a salted caramel soy latte with extra foam the next time we get together. My treat, since I am soooo rich.

Party hopping Like barhopping except for not on a Harley Just did a midnight run fresh pavement on 555 from 37 to 78 . Was riding back from Max powers party !. I might make it to ride on 17th My nephew has a birthday party that day though

Looking at September 17th.

Change of plans. Going down next week. The wife is traveling for her new job this week. Need to be here, just in case.

Started it! First time since last Dec. when I started the engine swap. Ran it for a few minutes then shut down to check for oil leaks. So far, so good. I'll start and run it a few more times, then put some gas in and go for a ride. I'm anxious to see how much difference I can feel with the new engine.
