I did the seat mod to raise the front of the seat and then took a nice ride in the country.

Lowe's $2.47 black Chair tips over the seat rubbers and made a strap (rubber exhaust hanger) to keep the seat in place...$10 and the seat is SO MUCH more livable!

I'm going to be around there (Koweta Rd/Wexford Rd) visiting my brother some time in July I hope. He will loan me a bike to ride while there.
It has been a while.

Oh yea. Today? Installed the center stand and took the seat apart to begin the rebuild. It looks pretty ugly right now. It is going to be a Frankenstein seat but no way will it be as uncomfortable as the original.

That "seat thingie" looks like a Bill Mayer Ergo Contour seat. It mounts on top of your stock oem seat.
Some riders really like them.

I did find that on one of the threads last night. I found the site too. Looks OK. As usual......expensive.

My problem, specific to me is that I need to have the seat so I am sitting higher and further back. Further back is going to be a challenge as the rear portion/ pan is fixed. May not be able to modify it much.

Rode down a good portion of Skyline Dr in Shenandoah National Park.
Stopped at the Big Meadows Lodge for some blackberry cobbler. Then met up with the hubby and tiny human for a tour of Luray Caverns. Grabbed dinner and rode home in a thunderstorm. All told a little under 300 miles, leaving me good and tired tonight.

Installed led fog lights, horn, powerlet for heated gear, cigarette lighter outlet, power for GPS and Centech fuse box. Now I need to get all that plastic back in the right place.

Rode thru the Clark State Forestry yesterday evening; took this picture at the fire tower:


Literally 10 minutes after I took the picture, I was almost killed on the bike. Starting over the hill, around a blind hill/curve some a$$hat in a Ram truck came towards me in my lane, not only in my lane but scrapping the grass on my side of the lane; he never got over and I had to hit the ditch, bike fell over when I stopped due to the ground dropping off. 5 more feet farther down the road and I would have went over a 200' embankment. Bike is ok, only a little scratch on the handlebar end, and I am a little sore from having to pick the bike up; it fell over on the downhill side and 450 lbs I hard to pick up (back to the bike and slowly inched it up). A$$hat never stopped even though I heard him laughing as he caused me to run into the ditch-didn't have time to get license plate. Be careful guys, I was only doing about 10mph when I hit the ditch.

Glad you're ok. Too bad you couldn't follow and get a license plate number.

Picking up a bike on a downslope is no easy task, even with adrenalin flowing.

Added some do-dads. Wiring is not the quality of some I've seen here, but it will suffice.

Ride through a low water crossing and found out halfway through it was MUCH deep than I thought! The NCX forged through fine and lucky I didn't such any water into the engine.

Water crossings always look,like fun....but they scare the hell out of me.

A couple of days ago I installed these mirror extenders:

8mm 8 mm CNC Mirror Riser Extender Adapter Motorcycle | eBay

Install took 15 minutes with blue Thread Locker. I found much less turbulence from the mirrors along the sides of my helmet.

And a partridge in a pear tree!

I waited around for a couple of minutes to see if there were anymore and then blasted through. Think it was a couple of years old so it should be on its own.

In my case it is.... And 20 chiggers in not so fun places!

Front axle sliders just delivered from Taiwan courtesy of FedEx. These match the rear sliders and will go on tomorrow.
