I've been using that button fairly frequently of late also...problem is, I return a good portion of what I purchase...wrong size, not quite what I wanted, didn't really need it, etc... :(

I know about that button and used it a couple of weeks ago to set in motion the next mod/evolution.

OH OH!!  Do tell!!   ;D

And a sexy black swinger.   ;D

Is it still running stock compression ratio?

CR is up on the new bike. Evo is at 13.2:1  as opposed to 12:1 on the 2010 & older bikes. Torque output is bit higher too.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

It's just cosmetic. Something to pretty it up a bit. It may take a few more weeks to get all the work done. Waiting on a paint shop again then by the time they are done I'll have to drop the bike off for the 7.5K so it might be middle of August by the time things are done. I'll post a pic when that happens.

Too bad about the PCS.  The 3 star wants you to help make him look good whilst packaging it as a career beneficial placement for you and then there is all the other side effects of the posting. Good thing for beer & cigars. And good roads. How are those leather pants in that heat back there? I keep thinking about new pants and always am undecided between tex air pants & leathers. Did you know that Yamaha Keith wears leathers under his jeans?

Haven't been able to try the leather pants here yet, as they just arrived last night and are still boxed up.  I will say that they will be outrageously hot here in the city though.  Most of the good riding is either at higher elevations or under pretty serious cover and ends up being quite a bit cooler, so I'm hoping it won't be too bad... 

Never had a problem with them in Hawaii.

I have only random pieces of tile where once there was a bathroom.  It's better than yesterday, where I had only filth and emptiness.  Still, no toilet, no sink, no shower.  Nothing like sweating for hours and having no convenient place to clean up after.

A sledge and a chisel  ;D

It was the only major space that hadn't seen renovation.  Old ugly vinyl on top of older, uglier vinyl.  Rotting particle board cabinetry, toilet stained beyond repair.  It will all be worth it eventually, but I still dont have replacements for the toilet, sink, or cabinet.  Know anyplace worth checking in town?

Since you're doing it yourself, then Home Depot & Lowes like everyone else... ;D
