Tilted the ft brake and clutch levers down 1/8 inch from stock. Nice difference better suited for when I'm in my aggressive riding position (leaned forward). Keeps more hand on the grip while working the levers feel more control during the pull. Me likes.

Pulled the stick-on reflectors off the rear fender and took off the bracketed ones from the front.

Hmmmm. Do you know what "Pendejo" means? I grew up in New Mexico (yes it IS in the USA) and am not sure I'd put that on the bike . . .

Looked at it longingly in the garage this morning before I took my car into the office. Rare meeting today where professional attire is required

Got together with the water-jet operator at work to flowjet the final design of my new gauge bracket. Stock speedo, 2.4" mini-tach, ignition relocation and idjut lights. Hopefully the project might be done this weekend. Will post pic's when it's done.

Today I spent half an hour with the new Bonnie jacked up in the garage - trying to figure out if the brake pulsation is the front disc. I believe it is; when jacked up, spinning the front wheel produces the same position ( air filler at the top of the wheel ) every time. I'm not quite good enough with the digital brake disc caliper I just bought to tell how far out of whack it is, but most of the disk is 5.32mm which is within .32mm of replacement. This Bonnie has 17K on it - any idea how long that .32mm will last?
EBC floating disc is less than the stock set and both are either back ordered or close to it. I don't want to be down a bike for a month. I'm really annoyed. Anyone have stock brake disk with good service life left in it?

working at a house today,found this lil gem in the tall grass beside the house.The lady was more than happy to take $100 to get rid of it. Just need to file for a lost title and get it plated. Real good shape,all welded and no rust anywhere. Very light and rolled around easily.
