That's the weekend of the Epic ride too, day after. I'll be headed to Florida that day with the famn damily.

Sounds like a fun trip. Keep in mind it will be hot as fuck down there that time of year and lots of afternoon pop up rain showers with high humidity.

Welcome, and thank you for your service.

It's because these people take the "Sport" out of sport touring and thinks the freeway is the way to travel. We are a dying breed my friend.

My biggest research problem I come across is their aren't too many folks out there running these bikes like I do. Most of the COG guys are old men running them on the freeways and think everyone should get 10k miles out of a set of tires. #Fucking Race Bike Problems

Im obviously chewing up the rears. I can almost get 2 rears to one front but the front will be badly cupped by the time I get through the second rear. I'm getting 3 to 4 thousand from a rear and they are gone. Maybe 5 to 6 thousand before the front is so badly cupped I get a head shake. Now I have the front preload crank down as tight as she'll go and I know I still occasionally bottom out because I keep a zip tie on my Forks for reference. Only time I really feel her push is if I get into a corner too hot and have to give her a little extra brake before the Apex. But I'm assuming anything would do that

Stock Springs are 1.2kg, but keep in mind that pig already weighs 700ish pounds wet. Then add my fat ass with gear and 50lbs of luggage that's a rolling freight train. Might as well say I'm rolling at around 1000lbs in full tour mode. That's how heavy I was rolling on the fall gap trip if you want a "holy shit" thought thinking about how hard I was pushing it.

Yes

@flashesbuck sent your email to a guy on FB that's interested

I'm blaming Casper for breaking this too.

Not really a question of doing it right or wrong. Just a question of am I happy with what I have or do I need to make it better? Be a extra $250ish to re-valve dampening and $200 more than that to do the rebound, and the springs is a big question mark because right now I can't find anyone that makes a heavier spring than stock. And the answer to that question right now is "I thought I was happy with what I have" (but) "what if I'm wrong"

Not today but yesterday I looked up the procedure to change my fork oil and realize I don't have the proper tools to do the job. So I text hoblick about it and he gave me a good price to do it that is cheaper than me buying the tools. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to spend the extra coin and have him revalve and spring it while we are in there.

Even if he did get a bike we can still mock him "Because Fucking Track Bike"

I love mine. Every bike is different but on mine he lowered the back of the seat but kept the area in front stock height in order to fix the sliding into the tank issue. I was concerned about it being lower but since it now pivots my hips to more upright it made it soooo much more comfortable and took away almost all pressure points. Check out is web site and FB page. He has lots of pics of his work. http://www.terryscustomseats.com https://www.facebook.com/Terrys-Custom-Seats-150069175036324/

^^^^ THIS !!! ^^^^

WOW what a great deal, i was actually thinking this would make me a nice commuter bike, but I really need to get some other stuff paid off right now.

This is the part I'm trying to figure out

And a dealer is selling it

Locking it down.

Thanks for the deal on the bag and stand john, my son was already pounding away on it last night. Need to find some gloves for it now. Everything is sold so I'll lock this thread down.

Yet still hilarious.
