The vent was a must for me. I need air on my face. I was always uncomfortable last year. The vent has made a huge difference. 

I'm considering a half helmet for the Wing. It's still quite warm behind that fairing.

No. Absolutely not.

 

Mine is all cleaned and back in its stable. Which is the only way a Wing should be treated.

half helmet is a must for me on anything over 70 degrees 

[Tonik]

Just gonna leave these right here.

See.. if that was a half helmet, I wouldn't have scratched it.

Everyone in here is too smart for 1/2 helmets. Durk, I'd rethink your life choices lol.

Nice 100mile ADV Loop Completed Sunday around Wayne N.F. area with a lunch stop at Hocking Hills diner.

Deep-cleaned the 675 from coaching in the rain this past weekend. Removed r6 wheels for a tire swap this week. Spend way too much money mounting tires.

Probably worth your money to get a machine to mount tires yourself no?

Yea for sure. Just in a situation where it'll just be one more thing I'll need to move when I move.

Home. 921 miles. Rolled through 25,000 on the odometer this morning. Absolutely loving this bike and don't see a legit reason to upgrade next season. Once I put the new suspension on it, I should be done. 

Except for the throttle cables I ordered the other night. Then I should be done.

I just cant help myself. I removed the silver switch box on the clutch master cylinder and pulled the wires. Now that it has the uber LEDs, I don't need that. Replaced the chrome speaker covers for OEM for aesthetic reasons. No more cigarette lighter. Now it's sporting a BMW plug that will be wired directly to the battery for heated gear (lol..as if I will ever need that), battery tender and a 12v USB charger. 

I have hardware on the way to lose the CB mic mount that I will never use. I am also doing a little more chromectomy surgery, but am almost ready to leave it alone.

I am taking it to Franklin, NC this weekend.

 

[Faster n’ U]

Began prep work for the Cycle South Summer 2023 Up in Smoke Tour. 
Leaving June 10th. Visiting all the states with legal recreational weed and sampling. Camping mostly. Riding sections of multiple BDR’s as well. 
Should be a wild one!

 

[durk]

292 miles, not bad for a 5 hour trip

Even had time and energy to change the rear tire this evening

[durk]

Completed the tire change on the CBR. Once again no wheel weights and she runs smooth up to at least 120. Dunlap for sure has some mold release agent on the tire. I left the drive for my test run, with no lean I grabbed a bit of throttle and immediately torched the rear. 

 

I also set out to figure out what is trying to killer me when I lean the wing over hard. I discovered it. Should have been obvious since they are the objects farthest out. Stacked boards clear everything else with ease. @Tonik I know this is not exactly what you were doing at the lumberyard but you gave me an idea. Thanks.

Yea, highway pegs are hard on Wings. They always drag. Only thing I have seen that is for sure safe are Mic O Pegs. Out of business but maybe you can find some used.

I took my pegs off. Not putting them back on.
