Here is the setup:
nitrile glove over clear shoulder-length insemination glove over another nitrile glove over the liner.

You can get something like this. I use them occasionally when I have to triple-glove for any length of time.

So, you're saying that they fit like a glove? Non-OJ glove of course.
Funny.

That flock lining is not cheap, you know.......

Wasn’t there chatter years ago the X-11 CCT was somehow superior? Think I have a new X-11 some place in a drawer or box
If you do, and want to get rid of it, let me know.

I used Purolator One.
We use Honda now. PLUS, we put new crush washers on the drain plug.

Because the Corbin is wider and therefore spread your legs out affectively making you shorter? If that is the case and you want to keep the Corbin, you can lower the bike about 1" without too much trouble.
I think so. The seat may be physically taller also, I dunno. I do not care if I keep it or not. I have over 80K on the stocker, this one just came with the bike.
I have never really understood the attraction of Corbin seats. I would never have bought one (unless I were rich, duh)
Sort of like buying 25 year old booze, my ass and my palate are too uneducated to appreciate the perceived quality.

What the fuck? Is that mud in the ram air duct?
-
So after what, 4000 miles, your appraisal?
I took my Corbin with the butt beads off the other day and the bike is much more manageable with the stock seat.

Excellent work! I guess the planer was a big part of the project?

I heard tall tales of Bill’s during our trip. Good times.

OK, so I got a new rear last week and was inflated to whatever PSI at 600’ or so above sea level. I assume I need to revisit since I am at >5000 ft? And going to 11,000 feet....
350 pound load total. Michelin Road 5 GT’s.
Thanks in advance!

Lots of pretty talk. Let me axe you just 1 question. Have you load-tested the battery?

It's good to see it upright.
Funny guy. I am currently trying to recalibrate my gyro stabilizer. Wish me luck.

This. I often used a hammer or block of wood to lift the rear of the tank enough to route stuff under it.
If you want to install quick disconnects on the fuel lines (there's a thread on when I did this), you can easily remove the fuel tank without having to drain it.
Hey, man, thanks for the reminder..... I am going to replace air filter and plugs next week and forgot all about that shit that you did. I’ll take pictures to show how well your handiwork has held up.

This thread is in the garage. So is my bird. Coincidence?

Well, BMW in Asheville, NC quoted me $504.79 for carry in wheels. CycleGear would be $450.02 (tires and labor w/o additional fees). No reply from Knoxville BMW.
Frankly, Asheville has a nicer setup, and frankly put, a nicer place for customers to wait while a vehicle is serviced. Knoxville pretty much has nothing. If it wasn't more convenient, I'd consider going to Asheville for any service I need from a dealer.
You are right. I am in Asheville right now and the shop is right around the corner from Casablanca Cigar Bar. Great place to sit and smoke.

Looks like it will be Cycle Gear. I'm still waiting to hear from BMW to confirm costs, but if the Knoxville store confirms they can do BMW (single sided swingarms), it may be best for me to order the tires from them and let them install it when the time comes. Yeah, a 2-hour trip each way, but nobody near me bothers to respond to e-mails or "contact us" forms.
Yeah, I didn’t think about them being BMW wheels.
No shit, you give me EXACTLY what you want done, when you want it done, and I will stop by and get you a written quote and shop date. I stop at the stop light twice every day so it would take less time than a phone call. Those guys spends big bucks supporting the BMW brand. They deserve a chance at your dough.

I typically buy a couple cans of SF and run through them on the first few tanks on really long rides.
My current fuel pump (on Mike'sold bike) has around 65,000 miles on it. My original bird is 82K and I believe it is time.

Superhawk, yeah after posting the question about years affected by the test connector corrosion, I found the sticky regarding it. Sure enough, approx 3 pages in, a member posted issues in the UK with newer models.
Yeah, but the newer UK models had Lucas electrics, so like no duh.

Pilot roads. Have always felt well planted and confident in their ability to grip wet and dry. Did a circumference of the country (- florida) on one set on a loaded bike. Well over 100000 miles using them.
One hundred thousand miles on 1 set?
