Eh... I decided it wasn't perfect, so I redid it. Moved the controls out another 10mm and pulled the brake line and rotated it 180 degrees at the left caliper and master cylinder. This allows the banjo fitting at the master to turn down, instead of towards the triple tree. That gave me some extra slack required to move the master out, as well. So, the handlebar install is done well enough to satisfy my inner perfectionist. I thought I might tap the bar end to install the OEM weights, but they are threaded at 14x1.5mm and the bar ID is just over 14mm. So, no dice without drilling it thinner and machining a threaded insert. Too much drama for one weekend. Now I have to spend some time considering which bar weights are the least aesthetically unappealing. There are some shit products out there. All the nice stuff is twice what I paid for the handlebar.

Handlebar is straight. (It was just the cold medicine.) Now I need a bar mirror, blank plates for the OEM mirrors and a dremel for that windscreen. That should quiet the cockpit to an acceptable level.

I have a practically new set of FrogToggs in Medium that you can have. I used them once.

Make yourself useful and wash my bike.

It has come to my attention that @Tonik has two usernames. That is a violation of the forum TOS. @TonikBlowsGoats is also offensive as fuck. He is looking down the barrel of a long-term banathon. Don't fuck with me when I have a cold.

The fuck @Casper shit has gone too far. I will decide if Jim is ever coming back to this forum.

Installed my new Renthal bar. I am not sure if it is bent, or if my cold medicine is just that good. I will measure floor to bar end tomorrow.

Sunday was beautiful. I didn't even need any electrics to keep warm.

I thought about that. I am just making sure. Relax, killer.

Ordered a Renthal bar from @RidersDiscount. Will do an oil change soon enough. Needs a lower windscreen... (not this shit, again)

I just stole a motorcycle. So I know it's hawt.

LEO. As in "cop"?

You didn't get me sick. I licked your toilet seat before I left. Pretty sure that is what did it. I don't feel obligated to set an example for people that are too stupid to understand basic common sense. Stop protecting the ignorant folks. I would like to see the human race begin evolving, again.

Sam is a total shithead.

All that work and you still have those ugly orange bricks on the calipers. It is the subtle difference between a true artist and just some rich Doctor with a bike.

You called me out yesterday on my "Eurosnobbery", but at least I don't lick dirty Imperialist boots. You make me sick. Literally... I had to call off work today.

Perfect example of different reasoning. You are probably 100% in control of your bike, but the thought of liability brings about a whole other level of anxiety. I understand that and completely agree. If I am even slightly off my game, I will just stay where I am and wait it out. So, I remove that variable from my personal algebra. Regardless, I went to bed sick as hell last night... (thanks, @Gixxus Christ!), so I doubt I am going to make an appearance at dinner. Even if I feel better, I don't want to get anyone else sick.

This is a touchy subject and not a hard line for me. I can have a beer or two with dinner and still be perfectly capable of operating a motorcycle. Everybody has different physiology.

No problem. Glad to help. See you soon.

I will be a last minute decision. I have to wake up at 3:45 am to be at work at 5 on Friday. Not sure I really feel like dragging ass all day for Dr. Pepper sauce. If I show, I will be solo. No offense, and shit.

You asian whores are a dime a dozen. I don't need to inflate a saturated market.

Isaac isn't ready for a 600. He will be graduating into a 600 in a couple years, but it would be incredibly irresponsible of me to put him on one this season. I rode the FZ6 on Sunday and it is almost too fast for my riding style. "Clutch out...nothing, nothing, nothing (enter 9k rpm) JESUS CHRIST!! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!" Plus, so much shifting. Never-ending shifts all afternoon. I miss my Multistrada.

I will trade you a minty-fresh FZ6.
