Example: I took her out of the garage and gave her a nice bath and followed up with a coat of wax.

Example: Finally received my slash pipes, going to spend sometime with the install.

Example: Installed my custom side bags with brackets and when out for a ride.

Anything goes!

Hey Chaps, think you could photoshop a swap for my bike into your backgrounds? :p:ROFLMAO:

Good morning, Good afternoon, and Goodnight.

I still have to do the brake bleed and put the mirrors back on. But I'd say that was an honest day's work. Especially considering I drove 3 hours each way to get the cable kit rather than wait for the post.

Vroom Vroom!

Swapped the mirrors for some that I had sitting on a shelf in the garage..

I have a set of those mirrors used on my Guzzi but put back original as they were hard to see out of flipped upside down. But I prefer the round ones IMO over the oval shape...still a change and as long as you like them!!!

Today I used tune ECU to up the fueling by 5% across the rev range. Seems to have smoothed things out nicely👍

Right on. This is my plan as well. I'm a low-RPM town rider (not lugging, but low) and I think this would address that slight stuttering right around 50km/h.

This is basically the same thing as the booster plug would trick the ecu into doing right?

I believe so yes.
My Bobber is going into the dealers on the 8th June, for an MOT and to check the throttle/tune... the bike feels terrible at low revs just off tickover.
the throttle is like a light switch, no gradual feed in of power, just nothing, then a horrible lurch forward.. (booster plug and 12 min tune carried out) its so bad that if you go into a roundabout on a closed throttle and try and feed in the power gently, you almost have to feather the clutch to get a smooth feed in of power... not ideal, probably need a new battery too... I can see a large bill coming my way very soon...

Stripped and clear coated my tank again due to rust and added a NRC tail light.

That is HOT! I may have to look at doing this.

Finally had some “me” time this morning. Changed the oil / brake fluids / pads / coolant and the lubed chain. Between jobs flipped the mirrors underneath to try and removed the headlamp cover for more light.

Why is there a hole in your saddle? Does it help with drainage? :ROFLMAO:

Package jokes aside… Got the idea from my bicycle seats. I found it really helped with seat comfort over long distances. Does look goofy when I’m not sitting on it but the girls buy the “package” story”.

Reported for sharing pornography. Kidding aside - this is beautiful! Great idea and great execution!
