I installed the rest of my frame sliders from motovation. Got the front, rear and engine ones done... and did the rim tape yesterday 
Tronix
Changed the back pads (more fiddly than the front), discovered a stand bobbin about to fall off, lubed the stand, chain and change linkage, washed it (adds 5hp) :grin:
Those look pretty cool. But I am worried that, while they may look bright, they may not throw out much light down the road. If the bike is coming at you could see it could see it coming for miles and it would LOOK very white and bright but from the riders perspective you may not even see a half a block. I really hope I am wrong...good luck!!
Scuffed up the passenger foot rest and painted them satin black. Almost dun with it. After its got a 2nd coat, its the clear coat traction paint on the peg and i will get started on the other side.

Thank you for your sacrifice even though I do not agree with our president in how he is turning this country into a shit pile, but God bless you and may you return safe.
Ok. It's been a while since I had my Arrow dual slip-ons on my '09 Triple. But holy *hit! It's loud without the baffles! So unbearably loud! Though, I invested in some good ear plugs it's loud, but not too loud. I opted to plug on side with the baffle and the other without. So it's a good mix of sounding awesome but not too deafening. Just an FYI with whomever wants to upgrade to the pipes. I still love them though.
Washed her for the first time in over a year. Forgot my bike wasn't brown and covered in bugs!
Nice! Love that color on the bike! Trying to land one still. Looks really great.

Threw on a 1050 throttle tube
Took me and my pal Gerry about two hours and five minutes.
Two hours to remove the proverbial stripped screw holding the "clamshell" on, and about five minutes to install the throttle tube.
We took our time, because these stripped, but small screws, can often make a big problem out of a little one if handled clumsily, know what I mean?
We had just enough cable length, with the adjuster completely shortened, to provide a tiny bit of play with the throttle closed.
We replaced the offending clamshell screws with stainless allen heads.
It's raining today, so I decided not to test it, but it definitely "feels right" and I can't wait to try it out tomorrow.
As they say, "best ten dollar" mod. out there.
Took about ten days to get it from Bike Bandit, and they charged $7.50 for shipping.
Anyone know of a faster, better source for stock parts?

Finally got around to clean the Striple. What a chore. I didn't know that there was so many knocks and crannies.
Shoot, try cleaning a bike with 240 chrome spokes, 96 chrome cylinder fins and 14 square meters of chrome engine casing. Just another reason to hate cruisers.
Ordered an annitori quickshifter for my streety, now comes the painful stage of waiting for it to arrive.
When it arrives I'll be sure to post up some footage and a review after the install
