Installed a set of black anodized 7 click clutch/brake levers on his '14. Took that opportunity to clean and lubricate the pivot points and of course the brass bushing in the clutch lever.

Delivered his shiny new Shoei Neotec with the Imminent graphics. A very good looking helmet.
Interesting. Can you provide a link to those black levers or an idea where to look at them?

No link but it is: the2wheels.com

There are several styles and colors to choose. I went with the most standard all black full length version for my bike over two years ago and again for Dad more recently.

This is not an up close shot but is about the best pic I have of them:

They do actually. That particular shade of black is called, Wife's Heart Black.

If I had known what bike Dad was going to get I would have gotten the Titanium with Red adjusters. Once installed that would have become Knife's Edge with Blood of my Enemies Red. Sadly he got Hinges of Hell's Gates Black.

For you I think they have Little Boy Blew (Blue?) available. :twisted:

Rode it to work. After riding the BMW for almost a week it was a shock getting back on the FJR. The motor and the brakes both felt so strong and smooth. We sometimes forget how wonderful our FJRs really are.

That's because they were cold!

It was cold and raining (obviously) and we were in the Smoky Mountains. That Ronnie Milsap song was set on replay in my head also.

Went to the DMV. Got told I didn't have the right paperwork. Contacted previous owner for another power of attorney. Got that. Headed back to hell...Or the DMV...whichever you call it.

They don't say what their shipping method is. It takes about a month to come in. The first time I ordered I began to wonder if I had been scammed.

Mine showed up in my mailbox.

Today, I checked tire pressures on my FJR. I also took a peek at the oil site glass, and noted it is still full.

Tomorrow, early in the morning..... the red beast sings....

Rode it a couple hundred miles around town even though it was a bit chilly, around 45 degrees. Still it put a huge smile on my face.

Had a spot of clear traffic so I rolled on the throttle in 5th from the 85 I was doing. Was pleasantly surprised when it hit the power band at around 115. Pulled through 130 like it was nothing then I had to back down due to traffic. So rock solid and smooth, really didn't feel that it was going that fast.

Apparently, I almost ran out of gas! On the side stand. I was 49.7 miles into the trip counter going up. Just for reference.
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

Did you check for spillage on the ground when you paid?

No, but I don't have to. I don't spill gas. That is a big No No. especially on Halle. It could ruin her complexion.

I was actually surprised at the amount that went in there.
