Rode her to work today. Getting more comfortable on the bike, opened the throttle quite a bit more. The old twin still has plenty of torque.![]()

I seriously considered riding into work tonight but since Tuesday nights are ALWAYS busy I played it safe and took the 2slow.

Put some gasket maker on the manual cam chain tensioner that was weeping a bit of oil. Also took a big ole power drill and put 4 3/8 holes each in the baffle on each of my cans. Loving the new throatier booming vtwin pulses this thing has. I'm hesitant to go to 8 holes each side, seeing as its gone from sewing machine to thump thump, also don't want to affect jetting.

Just finished installing some P3 LED running/brake lights. I have installed these on both previous bikes. In running light mode, they are bright and emit a very rapid flicker/pulse that draws attention - but not a true flashing that would violate any laws. Apply the brakes and the lights 'go nuclear' - they get super bright in a programmable flashing pattern - I have mine set to flash four times fast then four times slow then come on steady. $125 for the set, but I love these lights.

Last night I drilled out the broken mirror mount, and today, I dressed the threads and discovered that they weren't damaged enough to justify fooling around with a Helicoil. Used about 1/4 stick of Loctite 248 on the new mount pin. Hopefully it holds and I don't have to drill it out further.

bomber vw ... be careful with the red lighting. I don't know about where you live, but here you can't have red or blue lights anywhere on your vehicle.

*Tonight after my ride home from work I removed my useless-to-me passenger footpegs (I never ride 2 up). I wanted to replace them with stainless allen bolts but Ace Hardware didn't have ones long enough, so I used black ones instead:
