Installed Racetech Gold Valves (I think they are actually brass), 1" fork extenders, fork gators, power for the GPS. Removed the seat slope mod. Don't need it now. She leans a bit. Could use a longer side stand.

A very good dirt farkle. At Overland Expo on the adventure ride I bottomed out a few times on the rocks, once again I was driving way to fast. I did not go down but the impact completely trashed my tool tubes into a few pieces. That extra inch would have been great.

Beer and food is all it takes!! Let me add that I prefer your wife doing the cooking

HA! I showed her this post and she loved it, then mentioned you never got your salsa from the last time

What paint did you use? Something high-temp?

Got mine ready for my bike vacation to Andrews NC and then on to Florida. Washed, waxed, chain maintenance. I will be heading out either tomorrow after lunch or wait till Friday morning to start the trip (plans are quite confirmed yet). I will be headed down to Andrews NC with my 2 bestest friends (husband/wife). He also rides a NC700x and she rides a Honda Rebel 250. If any of you around Andrews Friday/Saturday, stop at the hotel and say hello (there is only one hotel in Andrews).

I used high heat paint for exhaust manifolds, one good ride and it cures nicely.

Somehow I missed this. I see vleds has it posted back up again. Not sure why they took it down off their website.

As for that other led, it looks exactly like vleds last year model except that their rating was 1800lm and 2100lm. It's a good bulb for low beam, but the high beam didn't really light the road ahead to well. It also didn't fill the lens perfect because of the cree led being bigger than a halogen filament. If you don't need high beam then that one should be fine otherwise get the vled one.

I had actually emailled them, and they took it down apparently since it was out of stock. It's back up now, but on backorder and you can pre order it. For now, I ordered an eBay LED, hopefully ill get lucky with mine.

Good looking, and for sure the only one in town.

Installed the 2" Rox Risers, thats a pretty nice difference. Totally changes your posture and seating position on the bike, can't wait to put some miles on and "feel" the difference.

 

[yearroundrider]

I did what John Boy did, 2" rox risers. Just rode through town but man what a difference. I can stand up now with out looking like I'm all hunched over even with bent knees. Took a few gravel alleys to test it out. The farkles continue!

Managed to trash the key today. Worked its way down into the forklift seatbelt buckle and was bent about 15 degrees half way down. Hammered it out flat, still works. Will be swapping it out quickly before its goes belly up in the lock.

I added a little extra protection to my bike!

Here is a photo of my bike after my recent safety additions to my ride.
I think it works a little better than a louder horn!


What do you think of the color scheme?

How about more information on your headlight mod?

How about more information on your headlight mod?

It helps "light up" your target!

Hey just a thought.I fitted HID light conversion on my KTM -fantastic light so fitted one to the main beam. I can see the craters on the MOON if I angle the beam up enough!
Problem though -it burnt off the chrome on the "plastic" reflector .I was told that unless you have a HID designed reflector its not good news for the plastic
So aux lights yes -but proceed with caution on the HID bulb conversions. Its also a GREY area legally in UK
