Oh yea she got a drivers backrest too. Fucking prices of OEM Inidan accessories are crazy. I paid $200 for this back rest used. New ones are $350

Bigger wind screen on the Injun today. Veteran owned company out of Colorado makes these.  Called freedom shields.  Very high quality and and they fit the stock quick mount.  1 in taller with a cuved top lip and much wider towards  the top vs stocker. Should get rid of the buffeting she said she gets righ at the top of her helmet.

Comparison.

New

Old

Once again I have a fuel pump on it’s way out(squealing like a pig). I just contacted highflow and they are sending me a new one under warranty. I’m not sure what the heck I’m doing wrong but this will be the 4th pump in like 4yrs. I’m getting good at swapping them out.   

Damn that sucks. The one I put in the connie is still going strong. Little over a year and 10k miles.

Did the rebuild work?  If not, check the rotor floats.  Blow them out with a pressure washer.  Sometimes debris builds up and wont let the rotor float.

Just got to work this morning, did not get a chance to test ride last night. and...YES!! it absolutely solved my problem she butter smooth again and a much better feel being all fresh. The rotor floats or buttons are all free that was the first thing I checked. They are not round on EBC rotors they are square so less likely to get clogged little better of a deign except for when they accually do get clogged. . 

Over 75k miles on the old  girl and she developed a bit of shaking under light braking. Goes away under heavy braking. The rotors were wet sanded last week and made no difference and no they arent wrapped. Less than .003 run out. Ebc rotors so they have the square rotor buttons but all seem to move freely. So i decided with the milage and the fact its never been done it was time to rebuild the calipers.

I'm specifically looking for someone to tow my motorcycle. I'd split cost of gas/trailer or take it off the cost of your portion of the VRBO.

Trailer nonsense? 

noun

noun: nonsense

 

1. spoken or written words that have no meaning or make no sense.

 

2. foolish or unacceptable behavior.

 

 

Mostly #2....   

 

I wouldn't use any of these disk locks. The first time you forget it's on there you fuck up you caliper, fender or worse it upsets the bike and you drop it.

@2talltim 😉

Sorry I can't to commit to any weekends in the next month if I go down will be a last min thing,  and really can't do a 4 day trip. And if I could definitely wouldn't be doing any of that trailer nonsense.

For me it's always easier to lose than maintain.  I can stick to my plan...mostly, when I decide to drop weight.  It's harder to find the right balance when I'm being less strict, if that makes sense.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Took the words right out of my mouth.

@Killer_kaw...I have never used my heated gear. I have a Gerbings jacket liner, G3(?) gloves and a dual-pot controller. My el-cheapo Survivor suit is quite nice in the cold. It has a full quilted liner, but also never used that. I use Under Armour Cold Gear compression pants and shirt and this base layer does the most good. I prefer thin layers to bulky gear. 

Bulkyness is why I love my heated gear. Layers are bulky. I can go down to the mid 20s with just my tour jacket and heated liner and gloves. Later in the day when it warms up,  liner off and vents open.

If you don't want to be super invested in it keep an eye out on ADV Rider for used stuff. Most heated gear is barley used and can find for around half the cost of new stuff. 

@Namdum68 has also expressed interest in a fall trip.

Uh... mark me down as an interested party. I have heated gear and a motorcycle. 

You have a land yacht and a dirt bike with an identity crisis. 

Keep us posted on any plans. I said i wanted to squeeze a extra trip out this year. As long as it's not a weekend my kid has a school event and I can get my work counterparts to cover me a saturday I might be interested. 

I'll agree with

The actual gap area isnt bad at all during those color times. Most of the mini vans stick to the NP or BRP. Although a couple year ago the BRP wasnttoo bad except for around the Linville Viaduct area but the color we seen in that little traffic back up made it worth while I think. 

Week 2. Down another  3.2 lbs. Almost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. On to week 3.

I was hoping the connie would hit 80k this year but might be a little shy. 

Took the Scout out for a spin around some county roads. Back home now. Will go out for abother quick spin with the wife later on

Does anybody happen to have a video/audio clip of a Suzuki C50 with Vance and Hines slash cut pipes with Super Q baffles?

Did you check youtube? My wife had a vstar 1100 with the V&H slashes on it it. I can tell you it was deep and obnoxiously loud. On long trips she had me put her stock pipes on till we got back. 

Welcome back man. Sorry to here about your pops. Still plenty of riding weather left.

Wait. Is two people using the same account a banable offense?

Think it's one person using two account but Casper is MIA so we can make up any rules we want now.

If you were local to me I'd say bring it over but I'm not. Taking the tank off isn't that big of a deal. Coolant is probably due for a flush anyway.

Your favorite parts guy is back! For those that do not know me around these parts my name is Mike and I was with Riders Discount from near the beginning.

I left about 18 months ago but was lured back and I asked if I could be on one of my favorite forums. TJ and I are going to be working together on the forum. 

So what did I miss? 

Welcome back Brotha!
