Here's to a quick recovery on both counts, Brian. 🍻

Ouch. Glad you're mostly alright.

shaving weight to make it faster?

Yep. Thinking about sending the heads out for porting and polishing.

I know a guy that did the same thing to his wing two weeks ago. It came out equally awesome.

I had only completed one side. It's 100% done now. Needed to set an hour aside to finish what I started. 

Removed the faux wood trim from the rear storage doors. Took longer than I'd like, but shorter than expected. May work my way through the cockpit this winter, but I'm satisfied with how this turned out.

As someone who carries only one pair of pliers and a valve wrench at work, Knipex has really made me a believer. I carry a 10" adjustable Knipex cobra grip. Never going back to channel locks.

Knipex was all I would purchase for my field service team. Knipex Plier Wrench is also a good addition to the Cobra wrench. 

Took the Wing out for a quick spin to toss in some Stabil and fill the tank. Not quite ready to empty the carbs. Hopeful for another nice weekend, but wanted to get the tank prepped in case God decides to emphasize how much she hates me. 

I trust Novice way more than I trust Intermediate. 😆

@Pauly hope you guys are feeling better!

Amanda was a little under the weather for a day. I was out for a week. Both doing better, but I'm still congested in the face. 

Thanks, Sam.

I replaced my Zumo with a Carpuride Apple CarPlay unit. Digging it so far. 
 

It’s this: https://a.co/d/0QDax3N

Is that wireless? Your link doesn't take me to it.

Yes it is. 

I believe I have the 55mm SpeedyMoto dual axle nut socket that fits your bike, if you need it. I can mail it to either of you. 

Replaced the OEM disc horn with one for a 328i. Plug and play and so much louder. 

....a badass BMW hogging the road. 😆 

Jim, you are allowed to swing by, but I'm not asking Amanda to make Apple Crisp in her current state of phlem and congestion. Once she feels better, we'll bake up some and haul it your way. 

Event postponed indefinitely. I've been sick all week and now Amanda woke up sick. The weather next weekend looks trash as well. 

Nope. New LEDs didn't get the chance to overheat. My bike hates them. Drive to parts store and bought a pair of Sylvania incandescent H7s. Problem solved. 

Ordered. Thanks, Tony. 

Funny... the ones I bought said they were compatible with 2016 R1200RS. The ones that you bought say they're not compatible. SMH.

CANBUS on that bike?

Yeah, but they claimed to be compatible. It came with incandescent signals, but I bought CANBUS LEDs without issue. Had them on the GSA, too. Every other light on that bike was LED and it had a full color TFT dash, but had incandescent turn signals. Weird.

Anyway, it might have been heat. It's tight between the heat sink and water tight cover. These don't have fans. I unplugged the low beam and figured I'd ride home on my high beam. It was daylight, so no big deal. After a couple minutes I got a fault for high beam inop. Unplugged it and rode home on the Clearwaters at 90mph hoping to beat the rain. Worked.

Excuse me, Stewardess.. but I speak Jive.

Unplugged LED lights on my way home from work. Kept flickering on/off once they got hot and was throwing intermittent faults on the dash. And I got tired of cars thinking I was signaling for them to pull out in front of me. 

Bought LEDs for my F150, but canceled that order. I'll live with the Halogens. 

It's a good thing you don't know how much I hate your guts. 

....and Leon's getting LAAAAARGER!

Depends. Do they like gladiator movies?

Surely, you can't be serious? 

Isn't Ben's bike SSSA?
