No knee dragging from me lol. I'd have to get some rear sets for that. Besides, I don't think I have it in me, esecially on the open road. I'm too old for that.

I really wasn't intending to lean in so much. The power and speed is now coming on so smoothly and quickly that it sneaks up on you. I don't know if you can catch it but i had to do a quick up shift from the right to left lean before I got my toe trapped between the road and the shifter. I need to get used to how easy it is now. The day before I ended up in some skids and locking up the rear in order to aviod over shooting corners or in one case ramming a car at a light. Just before i got home I was leaned over again with the back starting to slide coming into my neighborhood because i wasn't going to let a WRX get ahead of me.

I don't know if it is me or the bike but I didn't feel uncomfortable, no sphincter pucker at all. I'll credit the bike since I'm just a clumsy oaf.

I think I know what I missed. TIMING! I have it set right on the the marks right now but i know that if you tweak it a bit you can fine tune some issues. From what I can tell if you have low compression [check] and maybe rich [check] you should advance the timing slightly. What the hell! I'll give it whirl next time the weather cooperates.

Well i played with the timing a little bit. I advanced it some but it didn't really make much of a difference. I then retarded it slightly my top end hasn't really changed, It does feel a bit ore peppy though and not as sluggish at speed, i was taking it easy since there was a lot of bacon frying around today. Nearly record temps even has the constabulary on their scoots (Troopers on Boxers and locals on Hogs). We're set to break a high temp record set in 1900 by at least 2°F tomorrow.

Mounting up to go to work tomorrow that's for sure!

Well, I made it to work. Only had one asshat cut me off coming out of a 7-eleven. I'd have footage but forgot to mount my camera.

The guy's lucky I didn't bust his side mirror as I went around.

Bolt? What bolt. It's not even metric. :whistle:

That or my jacket has elbow armor. If I hadn't seen it coming, you know what I mean, he would have had an extra set of spare tires in the back. Either that or I would have become a hood ornament on a F350 coming up on my inside.

Be careful of ones that drive the big trucks to compensate for his junk being so small. They're truly dangerous. :dry:

Latest pic with some home{work}brew 30mm shock extenders.

Nothing major to report, Still messing a little with the tuning. Changed the oil and went up to Brighton Ski Resort last weekend. I pulled the KZ750 badges off the side panels.



I have some goodies to put on. Some switch gear, quick twist throttle and a set of road lights. Going to wait until I get a fuse box from Creative Wiring Solutions now that he's no longer MIA.

OH YEAH! I have a set of ZRX shocks on the way!

I finally received and installed the box, battery cables and flasher from Creative Wiring Solutions. Not a direct fit install but worked pretty good.

Looks good. Did you solder the large cables?
