I loved the Anakees, have had 4+ sets on the Strom. Haven't tried the newer version; finally made myself try something different so have Conti Trail Attacks on now.

I did not do very much to my bike today, so please stop pestering me for information on what I did to my bike today. Oh, I did finally fit the bar end weights. After much problems with Triumph buying mild steel ones from Malaya which rotted overnight and me buying old ones off Ebay that turned out be off an America. Which has 1" bars. So they needed a metal lathe to make them fit. Pah.

They work.

A couple things recently, not all today. New PR3's installed. I have about 300 miles on them and so far so good. Had a new Performance works rear shock installed. Link http://www.worksperformance.com/pdf/app_guide/street.pdf I got the DuraSport and it is setup for my weight and riding style. More tour than sport. It has a made a huge difference over stock and they were real easy to work with. I also bought a new ram mount now that I am going to use my phone for GPS, and music. I got the X Mount which i was skeptical about but it really does hold well. The other advantage is it will work on my bicycle as well as motorcycle. here are the part numbers for the X mount and the base on the bike handle bars. RAP-B-231U RAM-HOL-UN7BU   Bicycle mounting with the same X mount and arm. I bought a real cheap base for the handle bar that works real well and takes up little to know space.   |

Rode my B12 for a good 30min in the rain, testing my new rain gear, then I left it at the shop for the week while I'm back in NY. When I get home, she'll have new chain and sprockets!

Dropped the Multi off to be re-shoed.
Went home and removed the ugly pre-installed stuff (faux leather saddle bags, windshield, Kuryakyn "comfort" grips, poorly mounted Kuryakyn highway pegs) on the VN2000 I got this week. Noticed the PCIII was mounted -on top- of the shock spring under the seat. Both the PCIII and the shock spring show signs of rubbing, with the PCIII getting the worse end of the deal. Relocated the PCIII to a new location where it fits better and won't come into contact with any other moving parts.
Bike looks cleaner without all that crap.

Glued a tear in the seat with glue that only works when you heat it so making it really difficult to9 stick the edges together before you heat it so I had to use button thread to sew the edges togather and then had a hell of a job removing the button thread once I'd ironed the glue to make it work and it was all a bit of a faff really and I had to paint the rewsulting mess to match the seat and there were still some gaps so tomorrow I'll fill the gaps and paint the tear again.

Watched in amazement as my buddy (who is a dental equipment technician by trade) popped in a new H7 bulb in my GSA that I couldn't do in two hours. He did it in about five minutes...with his offhand.  |

Well huh. Both reservoirs are full, the front pads still have plenty of meat on them and the rears are new. I may bleed them when I get back into the shed but they work fine for now. I just thought they felt as though they were not as stiff as they once were. I feel their pain.
