Very nice!!!

 

Thanks! Not exactly the ideal commuter like my FZ07, but it'll do.

 

Tried to take the drz for my haircut and she won't stay on unless I was ripping the throttle, and then wouldn't start. I suspect flooding and a gummed up pilot jet. Want to dig into it but won't have time for a few weeks.

 

@FreshOldTaco I want my money back. The brake fluid was nasty!
Feels good having new fluid in it.

 

Apparently I was slacking lol checked back and last time I did the brake fluid was 06/2019 @ 3700mi.

 

Taking the scoot back to stock. Trading in this coming week.

Before:



after:



doesn’t look like a lot, but I removed the following :

FXR fender
Saddleman seat
Strut taillights
Third brake light
Shock extension
Rider/passenger pegs
Intake
Exhaust.

good thing I’m good at keeping track of hardware.

 

You going to give back that seat you stole?

 

All loaded up, ready to cruise the blue ridge parkway tomorrow.

 

I need to step up my game! The Panigale was probably the most uncomfortable bike I have ever ridden but I wouldn’t mind having one!

 

He isn’t even on here anymore. I’m just gonna keep it.

 

Hit the hat trick and rode all three bikes today. It's my last truly free weekend until probably November, with the university starting soon and me having basically 30 brand new student employees, plus events starting again, football weekends at work, etc etc, so I took advantage of it a bit. Ugh.

Spent about an hour and a half with the CB750 riding out in the farm lands, just kind of taking in the harvest with no real destination in mind:


Then came home and changed the oil and spark plug on the CT90, took all of ten minutes, and rode it around town for 5ish miles just to make sure it was all running fine with no leaks. Lastly, and kind of a cheap excuse but I wanted to ride all three today, took the F800GS to the grocery store for some beer and dinner supplies.

Normally I'm really excited for school to start up and fall and activities and excitement to get going, but I'm just really not feeling it this year. Riding today was a nice little distraction. I didn't even wear my normal helmet with comms, I used my Moto3 and just had to listen to my thoughts and terrible singing haha.

 

Coast Guard?

 

Those bars aren’t stock.


What you trading for??

 

I can’t find my stock bars! Sucks because I really want to keep those. I spent a lot of time making those fit with the TBW on the softail.
The ID of the bars was too small to fit the TBW housing so I put some sand paper on some fuel line and used a drill to slowly work the opening to the depth I needed. Took me 3 days. All on an effort to put the Roland Sands bars on the softail, which everyone said they wouldn’t fit.

 

Why didnt you just drill it out? Ive done a few dirtbike bars and its pretty quick and effortless

 

It was a wierd size- like .835”. The cheapest I could find a drill bit that size and length I needed was about $100 and I didn’t want to spend that amount of money for a single use tool. Patience was cheaper.
