Default New additions

I fitted some Dowco Fastrax soft luggage and a Ram mount for my GPS. Gonna take it to work today, supposed to get into the 50's. Hope it dosen't drop too bad for the ride home at midnight though.

Looks great Matt, Dowco seems to be your choice eh ?

Working on some fairing repair to the 93 (ongoing since
I got it last summer) seems this baby tipped over at
some point before I go it

Mid fairing - of the 3 upper fairing bolt attachment tabs to the
upper cowl , two are snapped off ( front & rear one )

Quick fix when I got it was just to use the middle fairing bolt (unbroken)
and "stick" the other two in for appearances

Now ....... I want 'em done properly .... JB Weld and custom cut16 gauge
sheet steel "hangers" will do the job I hope

Iridium plugs, oil, filters, brakes, chain and new clutch. She rides like a true champ.

Default Plastics

Sprock,

Good luck with the plastic fabricating. JB Weld works pretty good. Ya Dowco works for me. Lightweight luggage thats easy on and off. Plus it has a waterproof rain hood that hides in it's own zipper pocket when not in use. Oh ya did I mention it's a lot cheaper than the hard stuff .

Just ordered some new rubber for my bike, as well as a new batt, and some tire irons for the bike so I dont get ripped off every tire change. I ended up going with shinko 009's F&R. got em for 141.98 shipped. I am mainly looking for a commuter tire and this fits the bill. I will do a write up on em and take some pics. Now when I get back from school I will do the valve adjust, oil, and plugs.

+1 on the JB weld, snapped a mount the other week and used the stuff for the first time, it worked really well, a little reinforcing cant do any harm either.
