on the plate mount.

Gave it an oil change. I'm going to run some semi-syn in it this time.

Added some epoxy to the left mirror threads because it keeps coming loose!

estes23 · 02-15-2009, 09:54 PM

Traded it in.

Just walk past the bike the last 4 days. I had a whole bunch of honey-do's & bad weather.

Just dreamed of my new M...still to cold to bring it home

buster · 02-16-2009, 06:26 AM

(on Saturday) Brushed off the snow & frost, fired it up for the first time in three months, and rode away up to Glasgow, where four of us escorted our mate's limo to the the church, where he tied the knot... GREAT DAY!

Installed the new Mustang wide touring seat, I choose it mostly for the wife, the passenger seat was very bad, went for a short ride, what a difference, but as others had said, it does push you closer to the tank, but I think I can get used to that.

Apertureguy · 02-16-2009, 12:04 PM

I looked at it, fondly.

Dempster · 02-16-2009, 12:47 PM

I installed my riser spacers last night. What a difference, can't wait for winter to end so I can ride.

I just did the same!

05HDRAM · 02-16-2009, 03:23 PM

I just installed the Riser Spacers I had sitting on my toolbox for 6 months. No issues with the install, and they look great. I went ahead and ordered up some drag bars.

07M50Limited · 02-16-2009, 03:33 PM

My K-Drive bags arrived today

, They look very well made, and not too big or not too small.

I will get some pic's tonight.

I thought you were one of the guys that had orderd a M90? Or do I have you confused with someone else?

No, your right, things changed when the economy went bad and people started getting laid off at work, I held on to the M50 for now, its paid for, and if anything happens I wont have to give it up.

Ok cool, so I'm not losing my mind!

Hey man I just paid mine off last month. There's about 4 or 5 other bikes I wouldn't mind owning myself. But it's also a good feeling to have a completely paid off bike as well, especially these days!

I would love to pay off my bike!

dreygun · 02-16-2009, 07:43 PM

started the bike up and let her idle for a bit. missed the loud noise

Adder720 · 02-17-2009, 02:10 AM

Today I attached my Tourmaster Synergy Jacket cables to the battery and zip-tied the connection up the frame for easy access/hiding...which required stepping up a screw size on the battery. Now if the snow would stop long enough to ride...

Georgia Roller, a word of advice... I have that same set up...when I used the supplied extension bolt it would not reach all the way through the large ISO pegs and 1 1/2" extenders (it touched but could not get the thread started)
I went to the local fastener supplier and had to get 2 that were about an inch longer...if they have stainless get them, I didn't and will need to replace them this spring because they rusted.
