Be safe! I won't make it up this morning for lunch. Mostly because I don't want to distract you while you guys are getting ready to leave and stuff. Too many important things going on in your brain when you trying to get everything set and the anticipation of just being on the road starts to get overwhelming! Have a great ride looks like around Nebraska it's going to be in the 90s all weekend. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Wives. I don't know how you guys do it. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I haven't slowed down enough to put anything else on. Everything's working just fine so I'm riding whenever it's not raining. I'm coming up on time to dump that antifreeze after running that new to me radiator and want to dump the oil change filter again soon. I've got a week left to ride so I'm going to ride and figure out what needs to be done at the end of that. I do appreciate them. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

She's still a mystery to me. She hasn't revealed her name. Kind of like a dog, you know? Took 6 weeks to land on Buddy. Everyone calls dogs buddy so I just figured if my little dog thinks everyone knows his name then he has that many more friends to make. Today I went back down to 25 minutes north of St Joe Missouri. 242 Mi round trip 6 hours 10 minutes 31 miles per gallon one dinner break of about 20 minutes at a state park where I enjoyed my leftover cheeseburger that I grilled at lunch before I left. I'm going to be in long trip shape just in time to start my job. It was hot today! 92 degrees, pretty good wind out of the South so I started my trip riding into the wind and came home riding with it when I'm tired. I know I've told you guys how angry I get with this motorcycle but can I tell you now just how fun it is to just sit on the back and go. She just stretches out and runs! The swimming actions are gone, everything solid and getting the ride settled in, we're still getting to know each other but we're liking each other more and more every day! I might have fainted sitting behind lowers today. I was careful to stay hydrated . Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Our Walmarts are so big you have to plan for a hike when you go there Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Thanks for the tip!I brought mine down to where they're sitting at about probably 4:30 and 7:30. Seemed to help yesterday. I still need to rotate my clutch/brake levers and switches a little farther down but at least I've got a feel for it now. I found that while cruising it was very comfortable but I'm still a little shaky with those grips in so narrow at slow speed. I always had them high and wide before this. Did they make a bolt on backrest for the 83? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I had planned to ride up to Yankton yesterday and ride around the lake and come home. I didn't realize you were in Norfolk. I had business at the hospital up there for years. The best thing about Norfolk is the two-lane roads that have a 65 mile per hour speed limit once you get west of town. I think that's going to go up to 70 now in June? My plan was to go up 75 out of Omaha to Ponca and across that way from the south side of the lake. Google Maps said it would take me about 3 hours and 40 minutes. Once the skies cleared I ended up heading south instead. (Photo's in "Where did you go on your venture today?) My days are spent waiting for the ceiling to lift between the rains so I can go ride the hours in between storms. I never want to start out a trip in the rain suit but if I have to put it on once I'm out that's a different story. Am I getting soft in my old age? I'm also trying to figure out just what layers of clothing I need on what days. In Nebraska you can start today at 80° and finish it at 55 and rain! Or vice/versa.

What time of day are you planning to be in Norfolk area? That's 2 hours from here and I don't start my job till June 1st. I bet they sell lunch type food in Norfolk Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Finally got out on the road for a while this afternoon about 5. Going to win my way back North so long that western edge of the Eastern Bluffs of the Missouri River in Iowa.

Well let's just say everything was covered by cardboard and I stopped counting at three different kinds of tape Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I did and they are good! That certainly was creative Packaging! I bet they did laugh at your box at the FedEx store! Today the rainiest weather in the country seems to be centering on Nebraska, Kansas and Eastern Iowa. That means I will be putting the new turn signal lenses on today and after my ride last night I've got to reposition my handlebars a little bit. I'm trying to decide whether to adjust them at The Handlebar level or down by the key this time. I do have the grips rotated up quite High and I had issues with my carpal tunnel 25 minutes into my trip last night and when I Road Missouri for that 5-hour ride 2 weeks ago I didn't have that issue and I can't remember where exactly those handlebars were sitting. So I'll play with that while the rain drums on my garage roof. I have time to put away all my tools in the shop and get ready for the next time. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Went out for a two-hour ride after dark tonight when the weather cleared up. Bugs are mysteriously absent tonight which was nice, no wind, 76 degrees. Been a long time since I went for a ride for fun in the dark. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Don't forget to give us an update post-operatively! We all want to dance and sing with praise! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I have inspected mine and can't find anything visually wrong but sometimes it feels like it's leaning quite a ways and you all are making me paranoid now! How much lean is normal? When I put the kickstand down and lean it over till it makes contact with the ground the only motion that takes place is the rising of the bike when I get off of it and the suspension goes to its resting position. There is no movement outward or wiggling at the joint. Well, other than the spring load that allows it to move towards the bike or ground when I push on it but no outward movement which would cause a tip over . Can I assume it's solid?

I think I can live with the white light for the summer by the way I did try the yellow wire instead of the yellow green wire but then I didn't have high or low beam for some reason which made no sense at all. The electrical diagram shows the yellow wire going to the high beam indicator. The yellow green does not but I had to switch everything back to the way it is in the picture and now I have high beam low beam and a white high beam indicator. Also put on the new radiator from Utah and it's not leaking! I also pulled apart my clutch side switches and clean them all up. I just might not get a blister on my turn signal thumb today! It's finally time to ride today before the rain takes the weekend away from us! Two and a half months with no job to go to (that's not to say I haven't been working constantly around here) I've had one weekend and this weekend to ride so it's going to rain this weekend. I still do not have a start date although I would imagine it would be by the latest the middle of next week. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Well that was interesting. I followed the RLU bypass instructions as written and pictured above by removing the rlu side of the connection so that I could leave the plug. In the photo above, the wire that is listed below the photo as green and white is actually green/red just like in the photo. And now my high beam indicator is actually the white warning light next to the high beam indicator light and the high beam indicator does not light up. I am however going to call this a win because I have both high and low beams available through my handlebar switch. I guess I would suggest that someone using that in the future and hopefully looking at this thread before they do it would leave the yellow green wire out of the equation and to connect the yellow to the blue red wires and it should work properly. I'm not going to go back and do it at this point because I just put it all back together before I tested it Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
