shadowcat Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I went to buy oil/filter for an oil change and left with a shoei rf1100 to replace my bell qualifier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member GAZ Posted November 9, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted November 9, 2014 Got rid of the garbage incandescent H4 for an LED. Will have to wait until Monday to replace my auxiliary/parking light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted November 9, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted November 9, 2014 Rode 166 miles (we took the looooong way) to the coast to see migrating monarch butterflys. Hope to post pics and vid later. This was my longest ride to date. 3 Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

none Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Removing passenger pegs leaves you with a pee cup that needs a place to stay. Since I was adding a Powerlet power supply, it's bracket was a perfect fit! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
none Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I also added 2-20mm spacers and longer bolts to move the instrument display forward along with the little Yamaha "screen". It surprisingly does redirect the air flow.You may notice Renthal ultra low road bars too. Yamaha spools too, very good quality and improves the chain adjustment as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted November 10, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted November 10, 2014 Took the Nimble Pixie to a suspension clinic where I learned all about dampening and rebound. They adjusted my rear spring 2 clicks and recommended thicker oil for the forks. Also gave me the tire pressure I should be using. He recommended more upgrades but I'll start with the fork oil. 1 Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What tire pressure and what fork oil? The forks are definitely too mushy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever he told me would probably not be correct for you. I'm going to take the bike to him for the oil and let him do it. I don't remember what type, just that it needed to be thicker. 1 Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at those but was worried about clearance to the head tube of the frame, no problem there I assume. How is the brightness?

none Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 How hard is it to swap the handle bar?Not too bad as long as you are familiar with and have an assortment of tools. You will need a dremel to cut he nubs off the controls, and some creativity for your bar end replacements. Took me 30 min but I am a bit handy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted November 11, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted November 11, 2014 @bmichalec, yep, with Mehran's group. You can still take your bike to him it'll just cost a little more. He really knows his stuff. Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
