What did you do to your bike today?

[Gpaw]

Changed the front tire replaced the front brake pads and gave it a good cleaning 

[JustinNck1]

Not much today, but the original key had seen better days, and I wanted a spare key for my Corbin Smuggler so I got some key blanks and headed to the locksmith.

Note to self: Justin hides keys in his seat.

Rode down south with Spyder Wife for a overnight at Newport on the levy, KY. No rain but Hot in the afternoon.

Mustang. I have had good luck with them in the past.

I put a Mustang on the Voyager and it was a very comfortable saddle. It increased the seat height, but was shaped to allow my feet to reach the ground more securely. Nice design and good quality... for the 3 weeks I owned it.

how much does that cost you? I am looking to get one for my sportster but i need it seprate from the rider seat. The Viking Bags makes custom seats but they are asking big bucks for it. I can not find it any seat online. does the https://www.mustangseats.com/ offers custom seats?

Driver with backrest, passenger seat and the passenger backrest was 2 grand. They are all heated.

That is the going rate, it is expensive.

Migjt want to look at Russell Day Long for custom work. Also expensive and the wait can be long but they are the best in the business for custom work.

Got my throttle all set up the way I like it. Might throw some heated grips on in the future.

Few more mods and it will almost be like the Goldwing you sold. 🤣

Yeah, just gotta apple carplay and make the bike slower 😂

[JustinNck1]

Two new tires, new upgraded cam chain tensioner, re-torqued steering bearings (after finding out the previous owner already upgraded to tapered roller bearings), new tail light bulbs, dif oil change, removed and plugged the secondary air system, and still gotta put the led headlights in. Dad helped me a bunch and got started on it while I was at work. Almost all back together now. Bar risers on the way too…

So I've been busy. Updated the Givi hard bags and top case. Installed some Brembo Italian goodness in the form of master cylinder and levers to go with the rest of the Brembo set up. Installed all the Trex crash protection. Knights Designs lowered foot pegs. Spec tech tank pads. Finished installing the braided brake lines the previous owner didn't get to. Still to come heated grips, vortex V3 gas cap and throttle lock 

[2talltim]

Oh yeah did I failed to mention I bought a new bike.... 😆

That looks fast. Congrats!

[JustinNck1]

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.

Thanks....she's a mean Mamba Jamba...for a old mans bike that is.. 😉

Replaced my air filter. Service interval is 11k miles and I just hit it. Not too dirty... bitch of a job. 

[JustinNck1]

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.

[JustinNck1]

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.

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.
