If I put the tires on the wheels what I’m I gonna set the parts on while I .... with them?

Suspension is still at the Brian’s getting the correct springs for my lard and service

Why do I need tires on wheels anyways we both know it will never run ha

Your just jealous cuz you are over the black wheels and know mine are gonna look sick on matte bike

I have some spray paint you can use on your carbon wheels : )

.... Don looks like them tires been sitting out in the desert weather for a few years. What's with that table is that a workbench?
 
That’s my lil trick ya see

Take practically zero mile tire with 27th week 2017 build date and age it for 4 to 5 years

Get twice as many miles outta it that way...
 
Besides... the whole bike is gonna look like it’s been sitting out in the desert for a few years

My workbench actually is out at the desert! No room for it here in my 400 sq foot closet

Make it a great night!

And remember - I have lots of wheel paint here : )
 
Went over the mountain and played on the Cherohala Skyway that runs from Robbinsville NC to Vonore TN.

Did about 300 miles today mostly on the NC side because 20 really means 60.

I kept a ski boat over there for a few decades on Santeetlah.

Hit my first service light this weekend with 16 days of ownership!

Time to make a service appointment. :)
 
yep...due for an annual. 5128 on the ticker but less than 1000 on the oil.

The Blue Ridge gate was closed from Cherokee as I drove by. The NC side of the Skyway is $100,000,000 of perfection.
 
Today I got a fat spring to match Micks fat mouth

Oh...

I mean to match my fat ...

Sorry Chicky : )
 
I hit 300 miles on my break-in so I put it into Race Mode for the first time. I guess I was expecting a little more of a difference from sport mode, but it's still a joy to ride. If I really wanted to have my arms pulled out of their sockets I would have bought the V4.
 
I passed the on duty ranger 4 miles in so it was playtime along the river this morning. Only rolling about 5 over which is good.

The 'there-and-back' 65 miles on Foothills was delicious. Mostly 3rd but hit 4 a couple times on the dragon end. Getting into the top third of lettering on the rear so it might be time to air down another two psi.
 
Race mode, IMO just makes the throttle a bit more responsive like a 1/4 turn throttle. The real difference comes in when you upgrade to a good exhaust and flash the ECU so the screen says “racing pro” upon startup

Did you also set your engine power to Full Dynamic?
 
I haven't changed any specific settings yet as I'm still trying ( unsuccessfully ) to respect the break in period . I did however remove the passenger pegs and install the rear cowl. It really improves the look of this bike for me. Now if only the Futurismoto turn signals would come back in stock so I can mount my CRG bar end mirrors I would be done with my cosmetic changes.
 
lightened and machined center spacer

Pressed bearings back in front wheel

Got dimensions for wheel spacers

Dunno where it will end up in relation to the rear (lol) but my rotor is dead center : )

Made a May 1st appointment for the first 'annual' service which the writer stated is dated from the 621 mile initial break-in service.

The warranty thing.

The Tennessee State Trooper 53' semi rolled into the county for the hot hod show the next town over. A court room on wheels. It was banned in my hometown after it elevated to National Guard status in the late 70's. Big block stuff back then...FE's, Olds 455's ect
