Changed the engine oil in both mine and Pop's. We went with Motul full synthetic. I plan to make the YFO trip and worry about changing it when I get back home.
It was probably foolish to spend that much money on the ridiculously expensive Motul 7100 series oil but what the hell. It made me feel better. And it is such a pretty red color!
Never run out of real estate, traction and ideas all at the same time.

The FJR is quietly waiting because it appears Traxxion has a few week backlog of work (they told me this before I shipped) so it hasn't been ridden. Good news is that since it's all torn apart, it made the job of this little upgrade that much easier. There were some other goodies which will require their own thread at a later date.
Do you have this going yet? Curious what the result is. Worth doing?
Not worth the switch actually. TOTALLY worth it if you don't have one already. I need to pull the PCV and send it back to friend and hook the PCIII back up, but with the Florida like humidity I don't think it's happening this weekend.

I'm here to serve as an example of what NOT to do.
I put the stock windshield that came with my bike back on it now that it is much warmer out. I really like the stock windshield, it works very well for me. I just wish it was tinted.

The voices in my head are giving me the silent treatment.
Rode the piss out of it the last couple of days while doing the Iron Butt challenge with Tony. I agree with Mr Pants, we have some fine machines. My feej ran flawlessly while under way, only problem I had with it was it kept running out of gas. I got flashed (4 ways) 3 or 4 times by the highway patrol on I10 in Texas and we were only running 8 over the posted 80 mph speed limit. Hmpf! I'll give Tony another plug here, he is an awesome distance rider, and even tolerated most of my unorganized fuel stops.
