I just check the box marked "My vehicle is not stock" and send the form in.

Never had a problem.

Changed the tire on the Goldwing and cleaned the shop this week.  A clean area to work again makes me feel like spring. Grin

   In an effort to hear my child's bike when we ride together, I changed to the, extremely quiet, muffler today.

   ....changes everything.

   ...no more top end..

   ...and a really weird look.

    ...my newly motorcycle licensed child, decided that this weekend, demands, our first "Family" motorcycle camping tour..


   ..thus, even though it totally aint my favorite seat, to enhance the experience, I changed to the touring model "throne" that my olde mule came with when it was new back in 1973.

  The added advantage to this exchange, is my soon to be wife gets pushed up against me more, which leads to more groping, at the cost of losing the olde style look that I really dig.



   ..the things we do for love..

Getting close to needing some new rubber on the GS so thought I would pre mount some new tires onto a spare set of rims I have.

Cleaning up the wheels along with some new paint went a long way in making them look more presentable.  Greased up the wheel bearings and now just need to balance them and they'll  be ready to install on the bike.
I always seem to forget what a bitch it is to remove and install tires. Roll Eyes  Anyways, they're ready now.

Since I'm off work this week, thought I'd get done some of the things I've been putting off.  One of those jobs was to install the wheels with new rubber on the GS750.
Got that done today.  Not too bad of a job, but this incessant and hideous *&^%$#$$ Okanagan heat didn't help matters any. 
I really do dislike this heat with a passion.......but that's another story altogether.
