truthiness Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Got the front wheel off the ground. Scared the bejeezus outta me! Accidental or intentional? Accidentally, I wasn't even at full throttle! It felt almost, for just a split second, like that woozy feeling you get right before you get knocked out, and then I had a perma-grin and couldn't stop laughing. I'm assuming that this is a normal reaction? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxtrotzulu07 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Installed reworked seats. Rider seat (recontoured, more padding, new vinyl). Got rid of the bolts holding the rear of the seat in favor of Velcro attachment (this allowed padding to be thicker). Passenger seat recovered to match rider seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted October 16, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 16, 2014 @Guru here are the pictures of the LED lights (sorry about the lousy quality but it was in low light with my phone). It was a very easy job. Both bulbs are the same 5W bulbs. Next is the turn signals as soon as I decide which ones I want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted October 16, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 16, 2014 And here is an even worse photo of the license plate light. I also took off the metal bracket that the license plate frame was on and bolted the plate directly to the fender. That just requires drilling two holes in the plastic. Another easy job.

Premium Member pgeldz Posted October 17, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted October 17, 2014 Well, I didn't really *do* anything to the bike, but I *did* receive something...two things in fact. My Black pivot covers arrived today from Belgium thanks to one of our forum members, and... I got a call from Traxxion Dynamics telling me my AK20 forks and Penske triple clicker rear shock are completed and being sent to me today and will be here next week! I can't wait!!! Hope to have it all together and be able to ride by next weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me - Paulie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
