MSerfozo Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Rebuilt my seat/helmet lock with some old internal parts I had from the original that broke years ago. Glad I'm a pack rat! Once I got the seat off, I saw the wiring for my SpeedoHealer was frayed from rubbing against part of the frame. Lucky it was only cut through the outer jacket and foil shield - all conductors are OK. Some electrical tape to reinforce it and all is well.

Living in Cleveland blows when it comes to good street rides. I really no longer have the drive to ride 2-3 hours to a meet spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Last of the checks before the big trip in 11 days. Coolant, brake and clutch fluids, final drive oil and checked important bolts for tightness. The old silver turd is ready for 7000 miles of western us(of)a adventure. Day before the trip i'll recheck tires and seat in the the brake pads and finish packing. Other than that I'm ready to roll, well the equipment will be I hope i will be.

And after that dinner it was the best decision I ever made. Full, sleepy, and had cruise control on the entire way home. No ragrets. 16 hours ago, 2talltim said: You don't like to ride....to go ride?

If the 675 had abs, traction control, cruise, hard luggage, and an upright riding position I would’ve kept it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Got rid of my crappy stock bars with the monster back sweep for some fat bars, 2” adjustable risers and cycra hand guards so I can be like @Danimal 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Originally I was going to ride with my daughter today over to West Virginia but she was too sore from volleyball conditioning. So, I made my way solo to South East Ohio via some roads I have not rode in a while. Had a blast. Logged about 400 miles in like eight hours. If you have not ridden 145 north in a while, or never I suggest doing it. They have re-paved just north of 260 and the rest of it is in great shape all the way to 800. The weather was just about perfect today for riding. I hope some of you got to get out and enjoy it as well. It’s been a while since I have ridden on the street and to be honest I was starting to feel like @TimTheAzn. I was getting tired of the commute to get to good roads, but today reminded me that it’s worth it. Even tried to focus on some of the things I noticed about my riding style at my track day at mid-O. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Harbor freight stair tread thigh grips, bout 2 fiddy. Parked in the rain tonight we'll see about tomorrow. I have a larger tank to put on when I have time anyway. Pretty grippy. Maybe I should finish the lightning bolt shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwb675 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Started the bike for the first time in a while. Let it idle while i mowed the grass. Stupid shoulder. I get my bone stimulater tomorrow though. Hopefully it works as good as the Dr says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
