JustinNck1 Posted July 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Got the bike all back together. It’s always good to go through the bike when you first get it. I found several things not adjusted or torqued properly from the previous owner. I feel a lot more confident in the bike after knowing everything has been done correctly. The bike is ready for a shakedown run and maybe some day rides before my trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Replaced my air filter. Service interval is 11k miles and I just hit it. Not too dirty... bitch of a job. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted July 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Installed new highway pegs to replace the old worn out ones. Also got my bar risers installed. Install was unique because the bike has an aftermarket triple clamp that uses a different mounting system. A trip to the hardware store and we’re back in business. Bars are fourth back and up and rotated flatter with the triple clamps and riser. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Got out for a little shakedown ride. The FJR is all ready to go for the trip to the gap. 555 has some fresh chip and seal on the southern end. It’s not the normal chip and seal, a lot smoother. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pauly Posted July 17, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 443 miles chasing Tony's BMW through Ohio and WV. My new handlebar upgrade has turned the RS into a very capable barn stormer. This bike is zoomier than ever and now flicks effortlessly through switchbacks... which settles the debate once and for all... Clipons are for nerds. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d have to change the seat on the new Wing in order for the wife to even think about that. She actually just had me install armrest for her on the current wing. She calls it her baby carriage because she falls asleep back there. Looks like an old fart owns it but she’s comfortable. We are actually on a motorcycle trip this weekend. I didn’t get yelled at too much for ripping through West Virginia 50. I called that a win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking to put the money towards another sport quad. I see another Concours in the future though. I realize now I sold the wrong bike last year. The CBR was getting too painful for the repaired ACL knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It raised the wife too high for her floorboards. I got brackets coming to fix that. Then I will report. I have about 150 miles on it. I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durk Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 I think the guy that was going to review that seat may have paid like $2000. Just think for another $2000 he could’ve had a bike and comfy seat. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
