What did you do to your bike today?

[PhilD'oh!]

Got the FJR all buttoned up and took it for a test ride.  Due to work, waiting on parts, family obligations, other bikes and various distractions, she's been grounded for about 45 days.  Two things became immediately clear: I REALLY missed riding this bike and the Ural is EXTREMELY slow and crude.

Just finished installing a new front tire. Bridgestone T30. Also flushed the clutch fluid. Pretty simple.

Oh and I touched up my wheels with a gun barrel paint marker. Got it on amazon called Birchwood Casey flat black.

Knowing Justin, I bet the other side is the same.

[JustinNck1]

Right side was worse than the left. That tire had very low highway miles

Installed my new seat from Terry's Custom Seats and dropped a new battery in. All she needs now is tires aired up, a bath and the chain cleaned and lubed. Sunday is looking like a good day for a shake down ride.

If you like your Terry's Custom Seat as much as I do, you'll have a great time Sunday.

I stopped at that exact waterfall and took a pic on my first trip to Deals Gap. Enjoy your ride. Looks like the weather is nicer there. It's raining here and has been most of the day.

Am guessing combo of pressure washer and forming gun thingy? Was wondering if it's worth the investment

It does suck. I am going to change mine in May. A couple of weeks before the trip.

Did your bike catch on fire? It looks like fire extinguisher went off.

Some bikes call it a frame. C14's call it a frame/air box/battery tray combo.

Yup jury is still out on if it's worth it vs just using a bucket on the bike. I already had a pressure washer and the cannon thing was only  $15 to $20 on amazon.

Past, present and future for me. She's a good ride and if I'd need to replace her for any reason at all I'd go buy another one. Unless I'd win the lottery then I would buy a Motus.

Swapped out rotting fuel lines on the Duc. I smell like race fuel.
