    I've got some E Track I just havent gotten around to installing yet in my new trailer. I had 2 rows on the walls in my old trailer and it was awesome. Doing the same thing in this one but I've also got recessed L Track in the floor from the factory.

    There's tons of accessories for it too.

    Rebled the front brake on one of my razors. It was almost nonexistent this morning. Hopefully it stays tight this time. Wasnt losing any fluid.

    Hate hate how messy brake fluid is.

    I'm not looking forward to installing the brake line extension on my wife's bike this week. I hate messing with brakes. The Helibars come with an extension.

    Partially more irritating when the front brake caliper is technically upside down and it has to be removed to get the bleeder on the high side.

    Then the handlebars kept tipping to spill fluid.

    Squeezing the lever too fast shoots a column up and out of the reservoir.

    Aaaaand it was leaking the whole time from the hose i had on the bleeder nipple.

    :censored:

    I just did a set of those on one of my FJRs. Surprisingly easy if you follow their directions.

    I told her she gets to help, so if anything goes wrong she knows why. Wasn't just me doing something wrong (unless it was, lol).

    I saw someone gently use a massage gun on the reservoir to vibrate it and get bubbles out that way. I might try that on the Ford first to see if it works.

    I saw that and want to try it too. I need to figure out what the hell to do with the like, gallon of brake fluid I have sitting in the extractor currently... I think I have to take it out to the county dump.

    That’s a good tip. I bet the handle of an orbital sander would work as well, for those of us without a Hitachi Magic Wand

    Got home from golf and installed the chain. Went for a ride. Bike handles great only problem for some reason the speedo was reading 11 mph fast. I thought swapping speedo cables would have been the trick but it must be calibrated in the speedo housing. So I had a Healtech V4 which is correct for the Klx but the harness I had is for a universal install. I think I bought it for another bike but never used it. Anyway I ordered the correct harness so that should be here in about a week. Otherwise all is good. Can’t really tell about gearing yet because of the speedo but it may need a tooth down in the front. We will see how it goes once I get the speedo correct.
    I have a 15t and a 13t so I have gearing cover up and down.
    The suspension felt stiffer but good. The front brake is way way better than the DS brake. Just in my short ride I was able to get the chicken strips smaller .lol

    Revzilla customer service is great. I had waited a couple months for the dark smoke face shield for my arai helmet to come back into stock. Well it did last month so I ordered. I installed it and used it twice and the stupid vent on top fell off . I did the chat with customer service and sent a pic. They are refunding me the total amount for the shield and a $20 credit on top of that because the shield is not in stock. Works for me.

    I was able to take the two vents out of my clear shield and put them in the smoke. I never use the clear shield.

    Not at all, we should all get what we pay for. Good to hear about the customer service too.
