furher added to her outfit collection with a nice 06 blue set.
Cleaned the little air filter I installed during the breather reroute, polished my RT-1, made a new gasket for the small two screw inspection cover on the left side, took a ride and then had a beer in the garage listening to the 09 'bolt cool down. Life can be good!
I love doing this!Quote:

Today the bike sat in the cold garage. but tomorrow, it is getting new decals, and some polishing. Then Friday my bars come in and I reassemble the controls. Then if its not snowing out, finally enjoy my bike with its new R front end!!!
Rode it to work, sat in traffic, and made a list of a few things to get her for christmas!
Reconnected the choke. Tomorrow I need to adjust it, not rich enough when cold.
I let a bird take a crap on my seat about 3 inches from my ass! 4 lane road and that birds target ended up being my seat!
Gave her a good wash today. She needed it - I didn't have anything to cover her with while I was building a new ported box.
But she's squeaky clean now! :D
bought an ECM cable from xopti.
...forgot to post last weekend (Black Friday) I bought a tuning package from theoctopus...now have to find some time to do some data logging.
Not a thing, my bike has been neglected (wrapped in a cover) for the past month, At that point I did change the oil, give it a good detail, and prep it for winter. It needed it after sitting for 2 months in grit due to riding it in the rain on Labor Day weekend and then parking it for the year.
Next time it will see the sun will most likely be April, as for mods it is set. Just a background now and again on my laptop
Good one

rode the living piss out of it. ;)
I chirped my alarm just to let her know i was thinking about her. I was in the hospital yesterday for Chronic Migraines so i dont quite have my strength back.
^^ That sucks about the migraines!
FINALLY did some NB datalogging/tuning (GEGO corrections). All was done in the cul-de-sac, so 1st gear only from idle to about 3k RPM spurts. Overall everything looks good after running VE analyzer - a good bit of fuel added to the race map (max of 13), but that's easily due to the open airbox/high-flow filter and exhaust. I'll burn the new maps tomorrow and see if my cold stumbles are cured.
I got a few extra hard earned bucks coming my way so I'm buying the free spirit belt tensioner, airbox delete, new EBR front rotor and new brake pads front and back. Also new mounting hardware.
I need to get me one of those belt tensioners as well...
Rode the bike to work over the last two days and can say that the first round of tuning I did a week ago has been working pretty well.
Started it up, rode it to work, gave her a nice warmed up 1st gear 10.5k rpm red-line fly-by on an R8 that lives around my station :)
rode it and washed it
looked at it! too cold to ride right now!
Painted everything that was gold, bags included.
Lowered it 2”.
Replaced all bulbs with LED’s, No change on
headlights yet.
Remounted lic plate, added LED light.
Removed most of the quick connects with soldered connections.
Mounted hero with mod case, power is always on when the switch is on.
Soldered this bad ass little quick connect for my Tail bag, for the new LED turn signals and brake lights added to the bad behind the red reflector.
Changed re-breather route.
Put it back together, taking her for a ride deep in the hills only to find some BLACK ICE !!! Rush not needed but felt good! We stayed up!!
Have a new pic with chicken line after finding a dirt train for MOTO Cross so you know I had to go there!
Breaks tomorrow and going to clean her up again, way too much fun on the trail. (Angle tires were interesting)
Straw
'05 XB12R:
my new rear cowl from buellparts was delivered (bike didn't have one when I bought it). Thank you to my gf for getting this for me for Christmas! Love you!
A few days ago I installed my new aftermarket gold clutch and front brake levers.
Always doing something to my bikes!
Today I installed the set of 1" drop pegs I bought from njdevils1990....installation took all of 5 minutes, then I took a ride. It is almost amazing how much better of a riding position that change gives to me. So here are the pics! :

No not riding this one. LOL
I removed my front fairing and aribox cover to take to CT with me next week, My bro that does all of my ink is gonna do some airbrushing on them. Can't wait to get them back.
took the pulley cover off,removed the metal shield behind the belt and got the rust off the pulley and nut, cleaned up the lock plate, oddly no rust on it, drilled a few holes with the same diameter holes on the cover and put her back together

Looks good nj.
I ordered a new battery for my xb because the original one was pretty tired. Have the exhaust brackets I need coming in the mail thanks to raz and looking forward to mounting the d&d this weekend.
Went to the garage, looked at it, sat on it and asked out loud: is it spring yet??? Too cold to ride in Chicago :(
took it out for a 280km round trip along the coast, back through some dirt roads and highway riding.
