i adjusted the apes:nod a few inches forward to get the wanted riding position. I think I missed the mark as i still have a little more fine tuning needed to get my arms just right.
then rode 16 miles to work, a bit cool but the air was very clean and fresh.
Installed a pair of fishtails with baffles a customer gave me to try out. I love the look, if the sound don't bother the little lady tomorrow when we go down to winterize the lake place I'll keep em'.
Was a nice day in Missouri for the end of November. Called a buddy after work along with the wife and told her she was on her own, we ran from Columbia to Fayette (MO), stopped at the Hawgs and Heifers bar and grill to eat.
Then just headed North, then West, then South, then East and rolled in the home garage at 8:30 PM 138 miles later.
rode with my friend to the harley dealer / service. he had been having issues with his gas light ever since he had his pipes changed to akrapovics - he has an Iron 883 as well. the place that installed the pipes also installed Power Commander. we always thought they forgot to plug the sensor for the gas gauge, turns out the power commander messed up his ECM altogether. he does a lot of city commuting as well I guess all that traffic riding puts an extra stress on the bike, I dunno. the end result is a small "yeah, it's an easy fix, bring it in" turned into a nightmare and the ECM will be changed and he'll get a proper air filter and a download for the basic tune-up. he hasn't got the money for a heavy breather and a race tuner. but eventually he'll go that route and sell the power commander on e-bay. left the bike there for the weekend and I gave him a ride home.
anybody interested? a couple of months old, barely used power commander. any takers?
No riding here for the last few days. We've had some nice storm systems come through dumping about 6 inches of rain with local flooding. Seems to have calmed down a bit this morning but we have another big one coming in tomorrow morning.
I rode a few hundred miles this past weekend so now I'm paying for it by not riding to work. I'm well past the 5,000 mile mark and am not exactly sure how much past it I can go without causing possible warranty problems by delaying the 5,000 mile service. I've been waiting for the dealer to get my LED tail lights in, which I found out are in today. So I'm taking it in tomorrow.
I spoiled myself today with an additional 10 miles to bring the grand total for today's ride to 24 miles I guess its better than nothing. Anyone in the central Texas region know of good riding spots outside the three sisters?
my bike is about KIA. damn primary and trans are making a ton of noise, the right turn signal cover broke and today, the ignition broke (in the on spot at least) so i am parking it now that my truck is back. looks like she got jealous of the money my truck has been getting..
