rode to work as usual this morning and back in the early evening. rained lightly this morning but i don't seem to mind at all now. waterproof shift pants, thin, waterproof oakley snowboarding shell overtop of my icon leather jacket and voila. warm and cozy and not wet anymore. actually nice to ride in rain now. smeared a bit of rain-x on the full helmet lens and windshield. water blows off and lens/ windshield stays clear. (i know they say not to put rain-x on plastics). harley called and i went to pick up my kuryakyn ultra tour bag. wow so much room and it keeps it's shape cos of the hard interior walls. acts as a backrest too so it makes for a comfy ride.

edit: Womper that horn must be so fun. must purposely try to get cut off just to use it on cagers lol. reminds me of hitting the horn when some checks under your hood haha

CJasper · 09-12-2008, 06:34 PM

After reordering a new Air horn (I punched the first one through the front fender LOL mounted it in the wrong place LOL) it came in yesterday. Called in to work (don’t tell). Fabricated a new side mount painted it black metallic then installed it on the left side half way up on that lonely bolt holding the Hose clamp. Will post pics of it this weekend because I'm at work and don't have any here with me.

dreygun · 09-12-2008, 08:43 PM

ouch. i might have to get one of these toys. sounds fun

womper · 09-12-2008, 09:54 PM

and ya... i use every excuse to use the horn...

i showed a co-worker how loud it is... it echoed about 3-4 times off the surrounding buildings

fun fun...

dreygun · 09-12-2008, 10:34 PM

NY07M50PD · 09-13-2008, 04:35 PM

Ok..so here are some pics of the bike as it was when i bought it in the beginning of August an how it looks now after a few little tweaks and mods. Nothing crazy just the usual. The last pic is from the day i brought it home.

harryson · 09-14-2008, 01:31 AM

fiiled up the tank early this morning at $3.55 then come back to the same gas station an 30 minutes later with my wife's car for some gas it was $4.09

CJasper · 09-14-2008, 02:27 AM

I bought a Mount for my GPS for my M50 from RAM looks nice. Will send pics after I get it

also bought a Power outlet weather proof for the bike as well installing it in the morning just have to find the right place to put it

and I blast the air horn at everything I can lol I also have it on my cell as a ring tone lol

diamond_jim · 09-14-2008, 12:38 PM

Removed the windshield and put the stock mirrors back on.

Paper Plane · 09-14-2008, 09:29 PM

hmmm well lets see... what did i do with my bike today.... oh yeah thats right, i ran into a deer.

CJasper · 09-14-2008, 09:30 PM

As promised the pics of the new horn installed in new location and I also added a Power Outet just below the horn.

VtWoodChuck · 09-14-2008, 09:32 PM

Went to the VERMONT SPORT BIKES SHOW & SHINE EVENT!.
Vermont Sport Bikes

I entered the dyno shootout and the Show and Shine.

Lo and behold I won the dyno shootout with 44.9hp for the Twins 651 and up catagory because noone else was in my class. When the announcer said my HP he choked back a chortle. I agree against 100hp sport bikes. The folks were quite nice.

In the Show and Shine, even though I did not win. At least I had stuff, all those naked bikes, ready to run around in circles on a track. Yuk Yuk

Attached is my dyno run. The PC3 has me nice and smooth.

Thanks. I love the way they light up. They are brighter than the stock light on high beam.
