figured out the clutch issue, bolted a few things back on and took it out for the first time since November. Riding her to work tomorrow for another checkup to see what other adjustments need to be done. Also filled her up with the best gas in town.

Well I got my sporty back very early 1am Saturday morning from my indy after about 4 months, a crazy 4 months in his life. Anyway sporty is fricken awesome! Handlebars are wider and with abit more pullback, all new paint job, and new clutch cable and some other things too. I changed the motor oil to BradPenn 20w-50 and changed the primary oil with Lucas synthetic motorcycle oil 20w-50. Rode the piss out of it the past two days and gave her a good ol' wash with some s100 and polished her with blue magic polish. Woot! Tomorrow its back to being cage free ah yeah

Popped in a Wagner 9003bl headlight and damn its a nice bright light bulb. Better than the silverstar that was in it. I also added a 1/2" spacer to the stock fork springs after a good fight ha.

Sorting out my 07 Roadster I picked up in April. Put a Sundowner seat on it today. Waiting for HD 1/4 fairing and Laminar lip to arrive hopefully next week. If anyone is debating to go with a Sundowner it's a noticeable improvement over the stocker. I'm 5ft 8 and like it.
