Nice craftsmanship, Goat!  I always appreciate good ol' ingenuity to personalize one's ride!

Swapped handlebars to get better ergonomics and less reach to the bars.  Installed longer clutch cable, longer front brake line, and longer throttle cables.  Cleaned under tank and cleaned air filter.

Still need to tap the bar ends, install new handguards, reinstall the controls, and bleed the front brake.

Well, my little marker lights are looking like a booger now. Nice upgrades.

No I didn't crash it..... Just replacing the Speedo cable..... And waiting on replacement bolts to put the front forks back together..... May have those in a few days....

It's a beautiful day, let's go somewhere....

Finally got some handguards that fit the adventure high bend bars, so now the KLR's levers are protected.

The bike needed new brake pads. My daughter wanted to change them. She has enjoyed wrenching on the VWs with me since she was little. So, I handed her the manual and watched over her shoulder. She did the rear while I worked on the front... We had it knocked out in no time. Of course we had to go on a test ride afterwards.

Changed the transmission oil to maxima mtl 75wt and drained the coolant and replaced with engine ice on the new bikes.

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however,  extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity.

If it don't scare you, you ain't doing it right.

When in trouble, shower down on the throttle. It either fixes the problem or ends the suspense.
