How did the stem bearing look ? Was that the first time you did the stem bearings ? Have you installed tapered bearings yet ?
Tundra said:Nice Cliff, is that your aircraft hanger with your bike in it, or is that your insulated motorcycle garage. Only in my dreams.

Kzz1king, had a few moments today... I gathered the general various Concours 14 configurations of flashes / hardware dyno readouts from one of the primary flash producers and combined into a single graph - attached a PNG. I know the 2 best flash producers have been tweaking and gaining performance so these charts may be a little outdated but still relative to view general performance.Kzz1king said:I am waiting impatiently! I hope the change from evo to Mtn. Runner is as great as from stock to the evo!
IBAJIM said:I'm at the point where I'll be removing the stick coils & intake camshaft position sensor and then be able to remove the cam cover.
IBAJIM said:I have a few hemostats. I'll find out if at least one is long enough. And I bought an adjustable inspection mirror yesterday off Ebay. If my hemostat isn't long enough, I'll stop at the sporting goods store in town - thanks for that heads-up, Bear.
I tried to get at that #2 nipple after I re-installed the cam cover. I might have been able to reach it before I installed the cam cover, but wasn't thinking about doing that at that time !
I need to pull the tank to replace the sock filter, so I'll get at the nipple then as Fred shows in his video.
Bear: How far off was the balance and how many miles at that time was on your bike ?

Mounted the new Shinko Raven front tire Wednesday and brought the wheel up to the independent MC shop to have it spin balanced.
No weights needed !!
Installed the wheel and fender ( now with a Fenda Extender ) and installed the rebuilt calipers and new brake pads and of course bled the brakes.
Need to receive the new thermostat gasket before I can do the throttle body balance. I'm hoping I won't need to adjust the screw that balances cylinders 1&2 and cylinders 3&4 - that would be nice. Getting at that screw looks kinda tricky. Adjusting the individual air bleed screws on each TB doesn't look too difficult, tho.

Had a problem with the first wiring harness, but their customer service was great!

I had these Laying around for years, originally bought to caliper mount on a BMW. I found a set of bar clamp mounts to work out a solution on the bars up front.
The kits come with all mounting gear, wiring and life time bulbs. Here is a pic that you can see the shape of the lights
IBAJIM said:[
Can you take a pic of the mount and post it ? i'm still trying to figure out how to mount mine. Thanks.

Tundra said:Removed my Mountain Runner ECU and sent to Steve Sefsick for my "Hammer" flash.
Can't wait and "Shooduhdone" this a while ago. It's HAMMERTIME!!!
New tires, new brakes, fresh fluids, new flash = new bike :motonoises:
Tundra said:Road Runner,
I'm looking to improve my lower RPM throttle/acceleration, it's kind of sluggish for a big engine at the lower throttle settings (for me)
I couldn't locate reviews for this flash, I believe the engine braking flashes are the more popular choice. I will run this thoroughly in different conditions prior to any review, not wanting to mislead anyone into a flash that may not be best suited for them.
This should best match what I want in a flash.

Nick, do you ever ride 2up? Curious if the cee bailey provides better wind protection (over stock) for the passenger.Nickrides said:My new to me Russell Day Long seat is breaking in nicely.
It came with some instructions and in there it basically said " Don't freak out until you've got 3-500 mile on the seat So true
When I first got it I rode the 6 miles into town and thought Oh Sh*t I've got to send this back, it felt way off, really poor.
But now I've done 3, 75 mile out and backs, 220 loop and a 375 day ride and I've got to say that seat is awesome!
Before I'd have to stand up on the pegs every 15-20 minutes to give my A$$ a break. Now I can go 1.5 hrs.
Not cheap at 775 but all leather with the over 220 lbs option. Looks great.
I'm impressed.
That seat with my large Cee Bailey windscreen, AST barbacks, Grip puppies, Shoudabeen flash, new RS2 tires,
Valve adj, and throttle body sync and full tune up, throttle locker
is AWESOME.
So happy with the ride!!
Ride safe in 2020

Let us know how that works. I've been trying to figure out a decent detector to buy and how to mount it that isn't in the way.

Ed said:Had to replace the radiator. Was riding with 3 buddies a couple weeks ago, all on similar bikes. I DID NOT have radiator guard, they all did. Yep, my luck or ?, a rock punctured radiator, beautiful green fluid pouring out under pressure. Sucked. Had to be towed. New C-14 radiator replacement about $900 bucks. Stupid expensive. Protective radiator guard about $100. Bottom line was that was an expensive lesson. Now back on the road with a new radiator, a new radiator guard and even a new acrylic head light protective guard too - I think those headlights are about $550 to replace. Did I mention the most important part, "back on the road again."
