I literally feel your pain up here in Northern Illinois! Just north of us got a foot of snow and we got less than an inch but salt was thrown on the road. Last week they got a foot in Iowa and just 20 miles to the west they got 4 inches. Temps in the morning have been 18F to 22F and no relief in sight for another 7 days at least. Had the bikes out for a little and now they went back into hibernation.ARGH!!! Spring or Spring, where art thou... April in Southern Indiana and Louisville Ky area and Winter Storm watch for tomorrow night. My house in area expecting 2"-4" of snow tomorrow night and with this cold front (24'F at my house this morning) the white crap will accumulate... The record accumulation in our area for April is 0.4" of accumulation-if it hits, the record will be shattered for April...I want to ride and commute to work on my bike....;(
Make sure you lube the U-bolt threads with Anti-seize or a grease as they are stainless steel and will gall when you tighten the nuts if you don't. You won't be able to loosen them and they will twist off. You or your mechanic will need to remove the right U-bolt every 16,000 miles so there is clearance to take off the cam sprocket port cover when valve lash is checked.Well some of the farkles I ordered showed up today. Crash bars from China, and Givi Handguards from the EU. I was concerned about the Kijima crash bars since I saw reports of problems with these bars showing up with damage. My bars appear to be in good shape as far as the cosmetic finish. Now as long as they fit and mount without hassle I will be happy.
I will be tied up for a few weeks so I won't get to put them on the bike yet, but happy to see them show up.

Picked up my bike from the shop yesterday after work. Routine maintenance, just more than I wanted to tackle. 24,000 mile service completed. Ride home was nice enough, but busy due to rush hour. Next week looks like a better time to get out and ride, but with the first (for me) ride coming up to head to Moonshine IL next weekend, the weather looks like it is gonna piss all over it. Temps look fine, just looks to be a wet ride. I'm not staying overnight, so will be making call day of.
In other news, have a new (to me) windscreen I need to get mounted and tested. Will report back on that when I get a chance.
Hey Brad, these weather forecasts are crazy. On weather.com for Terra Haute, next Saturday is high of 58'F and 60% chance of rain, while Wave 3 has Louisville with high of 78'F with 40% chance of rain in afternoon: about a 3.5 hour ride cross country from Louisville to Terra Haute. I plan on riding over there Saturday morning also as long as it is not cold AND raining. This weather is crazy; currently 64'F and they are calling for inches of snow accumulation tonight (still forecasted for 4-6 inches at my house tonight-they have cut back on the Louisville total).
