My arse is sore!!
Been on my bike all day doing various things, including a rider refresher course and getting my bike looked at by the stealership. Had some pretty bad vibes between 3200 and 3800 revs; the tech said it's probably where the factory 'lean' the bike out to pass emissions and noise, etc, and with my TOR's, it's exaggerated. I'm gonna get it on a dyno soon, anyways, so hopefully that'll cure/reduce it. Also, had my tank badges taken off coz those that come as standard are bloody awful!
Bought a Scottoil 'CrampBuster' and it's great. It's a piece of plastic that clips to your loud-handle and allows you to release your grip slightly without losing speed-you kinda rest your wrist on it. Recommended. Also, put a Triumph flyscreen on yesterday but the jury's still out on that. It looks fantastic and certainly takes the wind off my chest but makes my lid noisier, although it's actually worse with it fully closed; if I leave the visor cracked a bit, it's not too bad.
Next up is first service and brakelight modulator fitted, along with some LED number plate bolts-not sure whether to get them wired up with the tail light or the brake lights. I'm letting the dealer do a few lil jobs so he doesn't moan about warranty when I do some 'bigger' jobs myself-replace indicators with billet-ally LED, etc.
As a big Brucie-bonus...I found out today that I've been paying car insurance to 2 different companies. I thought it was me not having cancelled my old one but it turns out that it was a mistake at their end...so a lil pile o' cash comin my way to spend on...hmmm, what? New shocks and springs? Brakes? Put it towards a big bore kit? Yay!!
