You start thinking about shrink wrapping your shift lever toe piece, am I right, my brothers? On the other hand................. There really is no need to scuff up the old Gucci loafers just because you are running a Crossroads billet shift lever, is there?
(For the technically minded: 1/2" black shrink wrap, baked in the kitchen oven for a couple of minutes at 220ยบ) What did cabin fever make YOU do? |

That's actually a pretty slick idea, Gent. Too bad they don't make a textured shrink wrap! ~SM |

That's not all--------- Forget about a little S to R tail swap, or doesn't that count?

Yeah it counts, but I did it because I've wanted to for so long. How do you think I got to the Buell Barn and back?

"What did cabin fever make YOU do?" I fabricated a bracket so could mount the reservoir for my Penske shock underneath the engine. I painted it a with some old spray-paint I had laying around (faux Brass). To make sure the paint would stick, I baked it at 400 degrees in the kitchen oven for 30 minutes. The faux Brass finish turned into a flat, hard coat that's almost impossible to scratch off... and my oven smells like a chemical plant. The bracket turned out really well. |

I'm with you! I got a ton of stuff I'm doing to my bike, and the weather has been ok and there are bikes passing my truck about every mile! |

Install heated grips, buy a heated vest, and temporarily remove my Odie heat barrier. |

The roads are finally clearing after months of crappiness. The only riding I've been able to do has been on that PS3 Tourist Trophy game. It's been a hollow alternative to the real thing. I really need a fix................ |

We hit 74 degrees yesterday in PA It was beautiful. I finally got a chance to test out the new tires and Helibars at some speed. Even with only a couple of miles on them, these new pirellis are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than those crappy stock Dunlops. It was amazing how much better the bike felt and handled with just these 2 changes. |
