No knee dragging from me lol. I'd have to get some rear sets for that. Besides, I don't think I have it in me, esecially on the open road. I'm too old for that.

I really wasn't intending to lean in so much. The power and speed is now coming on so smoothly and quickly that it sneaks up on you. I don't know if you can catch it but i had to do a quick up shift from the right to left lean before I got my toe trapped between the road and the shifter. I need to get used to how easy it is now. The day before I ended up in some skids and locking up the rear in order to aviod over shooting corners or in one case ramming a car at a light. Just before i got home I was leaned over again with the back starting to slide coming into my neighborhood because i wasn't going to let a WRX get ahead of me.

I don't know if it is me or the bike but I didn't feel uncomfortable, no sphincter pucker at all. I'll credit the bike since I'm just a clumsy oaf.

I think I know what I missed. TIMING! I have it set right on the the marks right now but i know that if you tweak it a bit you can fine tune some issues. From what I can tell if you have low compression [check] and maybe rich [check] you should advance the timing slightly. What the hell! I'll give it whirl next time the weather cooperates.

Well i played with the timing a little bit. I advanced it some but it didn't really make much of a difference. I then retarded it slightly my top end hasn't really changed, It does feel a bit ore peppy though and not as sluggish at speed, i was taking it easy since there was a lot of bacon frying around today. Nearly record temps even has the constabulary on their scoots (Troopers on Boxers and locals on Hogs). We're set to break a high temp record set in 1900 by at least 2°F tomorrow.

Mounting up to go to work tomorrow that's for sure!

Well, I made it to work. Only had one asshat cut me off coming out of a 7-eleven. I'd have footage but forgot to mount my camera.

The guy's lucky I didn't bust his side mirror as I went around.

Bolt? What bolt. It's not even metric.

That or my jacket has elbow armor. If I hadn't seen it coming, you know what I mean, he would have had an extra set of spare tires in the back. Either that or I would have become a hood ornament on a F350 coming up on my inside.

Be careful of ones that drive the big trucks to compensate for his junk being so small. They're truly dangerous.

Latest pic with some home{work}brew 30mm shock extenders.

Nothing major to report, Still messing a little with the tuning. Changed the oil and went up to Brighton Ski Resort last weekend. I pulled the KZ750 badges off the side panels.



I have some goodies to put on. Some switch gear, quick twist throttle and a set of road lights. Going to wait until I get a fuse box from Creative Wiring Solutions now that he's no longer MIA.

OH YEAH! I have a set of ZRX shocks on the way!

I finally received and installed the box, battery cables and flasher from Creative Wiring Solutions. Not a direct fit install but worked pretty good.

Looks good. Did you solder the large cables?
