My SeatConcepts front seat finally arrived. Installed and rode about 40 miles in comfort! 4 things I like: rear is wider and flat, foam is much more comfortable, grippy top is grippy and no sliding into the tank.

Looks great, I may need to look into this.
My bike came with some plywood Corbins and stockers.
So far only using the stockers.

I replaced the brake fluid on my rear brake yesterday. I bought this fluid exchanger kit to help bleed the brakes by sucking out the old fluid and then filling the revivor and pulling it down to the bleeders. The brake feel is better, but I think there must still be some air in the lines. outside of taking off the reservoir cap and pressing the brake pedal a few times to try and work the bubbles up... any other suggestions?

Odered OEM bearings, seals, o-rings and gaskets for my oil/water pump rebuild.
Studying the manual in depth. I re-read the manual until ive understood every last little detail and that way, the process becomes second nature.
This helps to boost your confidence before starting a job...changes the mind set from "i think" to "i know".

Hey, what did you use to clean your headers?Installed my new to me slip-on

Cleaned the headers:
Tested to see if soft saddlebags would fit over mounting plate for top case so I wouldn't have to modify the mount:
Waiting for Daddy to come by so I can do the test ride with new pipe and bags mounted and test my modified ciggy box mini dv case to see if I still have vibes in the cam or need to just accept it as a helmet cam.

I can’t tell you what he used, but fine steel wool and WD-40 works great for me. Soak the steel wool with the WD and wrap it around the pipe and scrub it in a circular motion around the pipe..

finally got'er closed up. Ready to go back in the frame. This project is dragging on WAY longer than expected. Harder to get parts now days. I was planning on painting it, but I dunno now. That'll be a bunch more work, and still probably wont look that good... I'm not a painter. I think I'll call it patina, throw it back in the bike, and go ride it.

What do you use the GoPro mount for that is on your Gas Tank? Do you mount a camera on it?Installed CRG Arrow bar end mirrors. Covered old mirror mounts with Lennon Mirror Eliminators. Replaced cracked windscreen with Puig Dark Smoke screen. Happy with updates

it’s a quad lock iPhone mount on my bars. I have the anti vibration add on so the bike vibrations don’t brake the camera on my phone. Hope that makes sense.

I see the mount on your bars, but this looks like a GoPro camera mount on the tank:
Is that part of the phone mount setup?

Ahh yes sorry. I do place my GoPro on it. Also have a mount in the tail.

When you mount it there, what sort of footage are you getting? Do you have an extended arm to get it high enough to see past the bars and gauges?

I had a mount that was high enough to see over the dash (clear road shots) with speed etc. The mount is a ball mount and can pivot 360 degrees. Unfortunately I broke that mount and am currently looking for a replacement.
