Make sure you take breaks and drink plenty of water. LolAll I did was remove the seat and battery. New one arrives tomorrow or Monday. What a job….

San Rafael, actually. Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on that. Riding Saturday & Monday. Bringing along a wet suit just in case
Going shooting in the am but down to ride in the afternoon… where you headed ?Today I added a 38800 mAa battery pack mounted on my Quad Lock to run my GoPro dash cam, I got tired of having to change out camera batteries and the battery pack should run the GoPro around 20+ hours. I also added 2” wide view stick on mirrors. I hope to try both out tomorrow.

Did you actually go minus 1 in the front and minus 2 in the back or was that a typo??Many things....
Dropped her back down to - 1 front, - 2 rear. Changed out the stock dogbones for Soupy's turnbuckle style.

Your area, friend on a Goldwing coming along too. Leaving Lakeland between 9 and 10, probably good to eat lunch at that restaurant at the edge of Tavares, can’t remember the name but I believe it had the word biscuit in the name. Like to be back home between 4 and dark, my Busa has a curfew, she doesn’t like bugs! Lol. Give me a call or text if your timing works out. We’re not very familiar with your area so maybe you maybe you can show us around.Going shooting in the am but down to ride in the afternoon… where you headed ?
What I didn’t like was my GoPro battery going dead and not recording and me not knowing it was dead, I have a 128GB chip that should record 18 hours at 1080/30 fps and my battery pack should last for 21 - 24 hours. It advertised 38800 mHa, the two batteries inside state 3.7v with an output of 5v and figuring the pack will have a 10% lose due to circuitry deficiency I figure the more real mHa is around 33000 - 35000. I ran the setup on my desk for 8 hours and I still had 62% battery charge left. I can also charge my cell phone with it and run a GPS when I find the one I want. And recommendations on a GPS from the group?Today I added a 38800 mAa battery pack mounted on my Quad Lock to run my GoPro dash cam, I got tired of having to change out camera batteries and the battery pack should run the GoPro around 20+ hours.

Yes, why?Did you actually go minus 1 in the front and minus 2 in the back or was that a typo??
Im way behind on the GoPro thing and my last one was a hero2 ! As for GPS, I ran a Garmin made for trucks for a few months and vibration killed it. I then got a nice mount for my iPhone and just started playing with an app I found and also Waze but handlebars vibration killed the camera on my new iPhone. I went on eBay and bought an older galaxy and use that as my dedicated GPS with an app called Gaia (no need to have a cell plan for the phone) but can’t provide a good review just yet since I have not put enough miles on this setup to see how it works.What I didn’t like was my GoPro battery going dead and not recording and me not knowing it was dead, I have a 128GB chip that should record 18 hours at 1080/30 fps and my battery pack should last for 21 - 24 hours.

Also if anyone is interested in using a battery pack the pack lays nicely between the windscreen and dash down in the pocket (gen3) but I decided to mount mine on my stem post Quadlock.
Isn’t that counterproductive? Rule of thumb is -1 front is same as +3 on the rear. If you went down on both they’ll pretty much cancel each other out, no? I ran +3 on the rear for a couple of years and that was fun, but didn’t like the higher RPM at highway speeds. I now run 19t front and 42t rear and she is not as aggressive at take off but feels nice and “relaxed” at highway speeds.Many things....

OK, I see the confusion. I meant lowering, not sprocket changes. As for sprockets I have stock front, 46 rear. As I understand it some of the rear gear changes are canceled out because the rear tire is 190/55 instead of the stock 190/50Isn’t that counterproductive?

I should have started 1" rather than just 1. Lowering, not sprockets.Did you actually go minus 1 in the front and minus 2 in the back or was that a typo??

No I don’t review my rides because they’re not that exciting but I want to video the whole ride in case something goes wrong.Will you actually watch hours and hours of riding that (you) did?
Yeah I’ve told my wife if something happens make sure she finds the camera.I cannot tell you how many of our rides ended up with something worth re-watching on the 360 cams that my friends run. There are 3 of them in our group so luckily I’m covered without ever running one. Lol.
On the ride home today on SR33 a mid size pickup was waiting to pull out from a store and he waited for my friend to pass and then he started to move forward and stopped again, I may have been in his passenger side A pillar post view. I ride with my bright on and I try to ride a lot of my ride with two fingers on the front brake but you can’t do that for the whole ride.I cannot tell you how many of our rides ended up with something worth re-watching on the 360 cams that my friends run.
