Door security is job security

 

Status?

Been in Virginia this week for work so haven't been on to catch up. 95 with 80% humidity woof.

 

Looking for a shop recommendation for front shock install in the Denver metro area. 4WP's quote seemed laughably high.

 

Showed up melted as expected, forgot about them in the freezer until the next day.
They are obviously made from the highest grade of crack.
I ordered 4 more boxes in order to bring the price down.

 

Hahaha

 

What is high and how much do you want to pay me?

 

Recently left a kinda cool job. Boss man had a ranch over in Wyoming and really liked interesting toys. Purchased these from Harsh Outdoors over in Eaton. Gotta love a Sherp! Last one that was available new in the US (they are made in Ukraine). Donated the camo Argo floating swamp vehicle to the local Sherrif's office in Wheatland, WY. That ROKON is fun, but squirrely as hell going around a corner...feels like an AWD mini bike...that runs on diesel

Slee Off-Road in Golden does great work! I've worked with these guys on two separate occasions, they've been fantastic both times.

Everyone's situation will be different, but labor for my suspension was just under $1K. That was for Icons all the way around, SPC UCAs, and OME leafsprings the first time (2018), and then replacing my worn-out Icons (4) just yesterday.

Ya'll be sure and buy your lottery tickets so you can increase my net worth at the drawing.

It was suggested to link this here. I’m looking to see if anyone is or knows a photographer somewhere between Durango and ridgway to take engagement photos between August 20th-24th. Any suggestions / recommendations would be appreciated.

 

I have a friend in Durango. I’ll ping him.

 

See you guys in a couple weeks! Gonna be out there Aug.1 to probably 12th. Up in Boulder area at a friends house for a few days, then I think I'm going to go down and check out Black Canyon of the Gunnison for a couple days before going back up to Boulder. Was thinking I'd camp at Curecanti area as a base to day trip the North and South rim of BCoG.
Maybe see some of you guys around!

 

Changed the front motor mount as I am chasing some vibrations when decelerating.
Old one out.

Old one is looking pretty haggard.

new one in place and the engine has to come up about 1/2"


Tightened before lowering engine.

Came down maybe an 1/8"

Since I didn't measure it before removing it, the only thing I have to go by is this chrome breather tube, it used to sit below the tank. I'm guessing it raised it about 3/8".

At idle and revved, nothing banged against the tank. Noticed right off I can see in the mirrors now, so that's something.
Gotta take a test ride and see what falls off.

 

And these showed up today.

 

Just Harley things.

 

If you want a noisemaker, you gotta pay the price of entry.

 

It actually smoothed it out quite a bit, seemed like a different bike. Gotta do the rear one next, the front ones are prone to going to shit faster though. Something about the oil filter being directly above them and dumping oil all over it after changing and then not cleaning it up. It was definitely a mucky mess when I got it. Pressure washer did wonders though.
The rear is gonna be a total bitch, might remove the wheel to get to it easier if the cussing reaches a certain level. Might be able to get to it with the exhaust off too.
