  1. Became a lover of chunky knobs. I thought all our trails were considered hardpack

    Went from 2.0F 2.35R Mountain king IIs

    to 2.5F Bontrgr XR5 2.2R Pigsah 2. Almost didn't mount the pigsah as it's sold as a 2.35 and the casing measures 2" and it was a goal to go with more volume. Had a great fast ride though.

  2. Radial swap levers came in. They are thick. I thought there would be more finger access with the cutout but it's further out. They are longer than my current levers but the adjustable adaptor thickness matches them unlike the shorty that came on the master.  Put the clutch on . It came with a brass bushing but it was bigger then the bolt. 

    Don't look as good but the lever bevel is a little more comfortable

    Beam pattern up close with one of each annoyed me in the city but was fine out in the dark looking further ahead. My mind needs to get used to seeing more elements now instead of," oh well maybe there's something there, can't see"

    High school buddy had a maroon one, 5-speed. We tore up the streets with that mother. Good times. 

    Also, I just got a reality check. I just realized I graduated a quarter of a century ago. :(

     

    Really?

    Buying a bmw adv and goldwing didn't already have you age yourself?
