What did you do to your bike today?

Installed my seat cowl, tried to put on my mirrors but I bought the wrong ones :facepalm: and finally took her out for a ride this season on Saturday. Put about 30 miles on her. Can't wait for it to finally warm up and stop snowing!
 
I'll whip something up tonight. Snowing out anyways so nothing to do outside today after work. Hopefully my brother in law plows my driveway.

Great, thanks! Im hoping to do some mirrors when I send off my headlight for the retrofit :) Deciding now on logitics because Im only about an hour away from Chad....also gotta decide on the color/shroud combos and if I want the iron man look or not. Sort of excited!
 
Sounds like you put in a lot of work. Careful on that new front tire until you get her scrubbed in.

Oh it was and man that tire wants to lean really bad put 238 mils on it yesterday though so it should be good to go now
 
Took the long way to school today (the one with twisties) to test out my new stompgrips. felt AMAZING. glued to the tank and not slipping around. $50 well spent. love the look of them too.
 
1. Ordered new adjustable extendable levers
2. Committed to Retrofit group buy and picked my options :)
3. Started looking at the breakdown to remove my light for 2.
4. Finalizing buying stuff with my $260 gift promo to motorcyclegear.com
5. Super stoked haha :jerk:
 
It did, ty! Chad also directed to an older thread with some additional pics...between the 2, I should be able to figure it out.

Im going to try and order a set of mirrors in the next couple of days...that way I can install them once I get the light back since it will be apart anyway :)

This, but I would suggest against WD40 but that's just my opinion. The key is to heat the tank to a nice level such that you don't wan to touch it with the hand and use some kind of plastic type tool that wont melt of mar your paint and pull up an edge or start with a pulled up edge and heat with heat gun and pull back on pad with gloved hand, so you don't burn yourself.
You think should I empty the tank first or not I really don't want no explosion lol

That's really not needed, just don't do it in the garage... The gas tank has a pressure relief system as it is (one of those tubes that exits the tank is mean to release excess pressure). Just be sure to be in a WELL ventilated area as you wouldn't want the garage to fill with gas fumes and either ignite or make you pass out. As long as there is good ventilation (cross draft) then you will be fine. Gas fumes dissipate very quickly so it's not a huge concern but certainly a concern if there is stagnant air.
