Thanks!! mill have to watch the shifter adjustment and see what I can do. Don’t have to worry about leathers/spirited riding. I live in Nebraska so it’s essentially just a fast Harley/cruiser out here. Not like when I lived in California. I’m not worried about the price. I was originally going...

For the guys that have the KD’s, do you notice them sticker out wider at the mounting location? I had a set of the adjustable drop eBay ones, but the rotating part at the mounting location kicked the peg out a good bit to the point I couldn’t deal with them. I’m currently using the stock pegs...

I bought some of those cheapy eBay units where it kicks the peg out bout an inch for the adjustable base. With that I notice a lot of hunting while looking for the shifter or brake lever as it's so far forward. Definitly bailing on them I'm thinking the one piece design might be better. Do you...

Man that is gonna look tits

My 04 has a pretty sharp transition from off-idle to low throttle. It's mainly apparent when coming into a turn/corner during slow street riding. Even being ready for it, it can still catch me off guard. Are they all like this? How could I go about lessening that sharp transition? Thanks!

Also helps if you eat chocolate and watch the notebook. Joking aside I've used midol before. Works way better than an empty bottle of Advil that's for sure.

I don't know how some of you guys do it. I work 7a-4p M-F and I'm done.

Might be a dumb question but is that a common problem with HMF X pipe?

Sounds like a nice ride.

Post up some pictures from the track day if you can. Interested to see how the track at Hastings looks (in Omaha).

My wife and I drove out from Omaha in our Tahoe on Thursday, brought it back in a uhaul trailer behind the Tahoe. My mom/dad bought it new. My dad has a 01 gsxr1k. She is gone, and he didn't need both bikes and thought I would appreciate being back on a bike. He was correct.

They aren't. They're actually brand new. But I do need to go thru and do a full nut and bolt and service on it.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Took my first little ride today. It's been a few years since I've ridden with any regularity so I need to get my "legs" back. After only an hour back in the saddle I'm already seeing some mods I want to do.

Last weekend I drove out to Vegas and brought back this baby. My mom bought it brand new in 2004, it has just under 9k on it and is bone stock. I've been on 2 wheels since I was 5 so I'm cofortable on the bike. Already have a few mods in mind and look forward to getting back on a bike...
