Nice day to ride. Even better day to upgrade the suspension on the Goldwing. I use the word "upgrade" without reverence to Merriam-Webster, but anything is better than air forks and shocks. I'm sending the forks out for rebuild because I don't have the tools anymore, and I can't imagine anything I'd rather smell less than 30 year old fork oil. 😅 Shocks are installed, but I need a spanner to swing them into "FatAF" mode. I'm excited to see how much better this bike can handle fully loaded.

Why not both?

I was banned from the GoldWing forum for suggesting the manual bike was almost perfect and only needed a quick-shift setup like BMW has.

Question is... fox tail or bunny?

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

Ouch. Glad you're mostly alright.

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

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.

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. 😆

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.

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

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.
