March 20, 2011

Flew from DFW to Jacksonville to pick up bike and rode back to DFW non-stop.

• Installed Kuryakyn Ergo II ISO pegs, a Plug & Play power adapter in the left pouch, and a TourKing Cup Holder before I left Jacksonville. I had packed these along with my tools for the trip out there.
• Original owner had a new slipstream windshield that I also installed prior to leaving his house. I left the old one there.

April 2011

• Oil Change
• Removed all stickers from the bike's trunk and front fender (military base sticker).
• Installed Kuryakyn Tranformers
• Installed Kuryakyn Floorboards with Heel-Toe shift.
• Changed out the 6" Ergo II ISO peg arms for the Mini arms.
• Fixed heated seat/grips and rear speakers that weren't working by finding and repairing two pinched wires in the trunk hinge area on the right side.
• Fixed the fog lights by taking apart the fog light switch, cleaning the contact point, bending it back to original shape, and re-installing it. Almost lost the contact spring when it flew across the garage.
• Fixed the Cruise control by refreshing the micro-switches under the brake lever and filing down the backside of the brake lever just a bit.
• Refreshed front speaker grills by removing them, sanding and cleaning them, then repainting them.
