A nut on a bolt, the bolt threaded into the swingarm spool hole and a pipe allow me to get my tire off the ground so I can clean/lube the chain in one place.

I wear a really small helmet!

I just made some new blinker setups.  The fist-sized stock ones were killing me, so i picked up some 14 dollar lil amber guys and made a license plate bracket to hold it all together.



I also modded my stock mufflers for now cuz i couldn't stand riding with no sound and don't have the extra few hundred dollars for something decent.

This is Bear.
Bear loves poetry, long walks on the beach, stopping to smell the roses, Mozart, and picnics.
Bear also loves the open road, feeling the wind through his hair, traveling, making friends, being a nomad, and motorbikes
Bear will be joining us on this trip of amazing this summer and helping document our travels.

Seat and Windscreen

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Reshaped my seat to fit my sweet sweet ass, then had it recovered locally. Gave it a higher nose so I don't slide up on the tank, and takes a good bit of pressure off my "sit bones". Also has a wider, concave shape instead of convex, and higher to give a bit better knee angle. Feels great.

It went from something like this:

To this:



Sweet windscreen:


Didn't have rear turn signals, so I put some on:


Also, I just ordered some of these:

My Bike

Just hit 29k miles. '97 F3.

  • Will ditch clip-ons in favor of handlebars, about 2" higher.
  • Lube cables
  • clean/sync carbs for the hell of it.
  • higher windscreen.

That's about it.
