What did you do to your bike today?

[TimTheAzn]

Rode mine to work for once.

I was looking at one that comes from an outfit up in Alaska. Where did you get yours from? My bike seat is intolerable after 600 miles of steady riding.

Yes, Alaska leather, via Amazon.   Looks like a quality piece, but not cheap.

[JR_ider]

New exhaust and tank decals.

 

[prekarious]

Changed tires, chain, and sprockets.  Waiting to see what weather is gonna do before I change oil and go ride

[Gixxus Christ!]

Got a set of the same LED headlight bulbs tim got. They're in,  but the rain covers won't fit on over the big heat sinks. They look amazing tho.

Did you also spring for new flip flops...  because, you know, suzuki??  

[Gixxus Christ!]

Also today I was horrible at applying reflective wheel stripes. Got the back rim done, botched the fuck out of it. Taking the front inside tomorrow to do it, seems like it would be so much easier.

I've been rocking the same pair of $20 target flippy floppies for like 3 years. 

 

And a suzuki sport bike should have a yosh can. It's just the way things should be!

[Gixxus Christ!]

For fap

 

 

 

Chose yosh partly because they include a different heat shield that works better than the stock one to follow the lines of the can, and is black instead of chrome. Sound is a tiny bit louder and more deep tone than stock.

Got out for a short 150 mile loop this morning with my youngest daughter Ally. We had a good time. 

[Gixxus Christ!]

Finally got my new levers. Not pazzo or the other expensive brand but still pricey for Ebay chinesuim. Fit and finish are acceptable, adjustable for length and reach, and they pivot up instead of breaking if I go whoopsies. Wish the color matched better, that's my only complaint. Also finished up the rim stripes while very drunk Saturday night.

Levers are a little purple but don't look bad... Love the rim stripes! Cool design not being a solid line

Yeah, they had a few different designs. Shine graffix is who makes em, but their customer service is shit and it took then 3 weeks just to ship the fuckers. Decent product but I wouldn't do business with them again. Motoinkz makes some even cooler designs but customer service sucks, they couldn't reply to one simple email asking if their stuff was reflective.

Out with the old 39L Kawi box in with the new Givi E55 with felt liner and remote entry.
And with the deal I got it was a even trade with no money out of pocket. If anything I came out on top because I sold the previous owner my stock windscreen that has been sitting on the shelf for 6 years. Came with the SR410 mounting kit so its solid as a rock with out putting any stress on the crappy plastic OEM rack.

New...

Will those Kawasaki top boxes hold 2 helmets?

That one barely held one.  It's was only the 39L one.

Bled the brakes on the streetbike again. Removed my forks and sent them to Barnes Bros. In PA for some love, complete refresh and different springs.

[durk]

Started prepping the bike for Mid O. Swapped out roadsmart 3s (removing the rear tire was the worst) for Q3s. Changed coolant out and wired the oil filter. Working on swapping plastic. Can’t wait for Monday. 

[JustinNck1]

Valve Clearance Check, PAIR Block-off plates, Throttle Body Sync, Spark Plugs, Air Filter, Clutch Flush, and Fixed my Top Case. Been a busy last couple days, but just finished it up tonight to ride to Mid Ohio tomorrow. Only thing left before the big trip is oil changes, brake fluid flush, and tires.

[jacobhawkins]

You should stay another day up there.
