It's been a while...again

E-mail Print PDF

It's been a while since I updated my blog, so here is an update.

That oil cooler project for the 550 ended up being wasted effort. As it turns out, the slightly restricted oil flow caused my my skillfully bent oil lines caused the oil light to come on at idle when the engine was hot. It wasn't harmful, just annoying. The end result was hours of wasted time and removal of the oil cooler.

The new fuse panel seems to be working out well. I did have one fuse blow, which was on the turn signal (indicator) circuit. I'm not sure why it happened.

The same day the fuse blew the stator took a crap. I replaced the burnt stator with  new one I purchased last year before my Deals Gap Trip. All seems fine now, but I will probably purchase a new one or rewind my old stator for a spare.

Lastly, I finally made my return to motorcycle vlogging. A recently purchased Vado HD allowed me to do so. You can check out my return video on my YouTube page.

New Helmet!!!

E-mail Print PDF

I got my new helmet today :) It's the HJC CL-SP Barbwire in Flat black/red/silver. I sprung for a nice mirrored shield, too. I haven't tried it on the bike yet, but I like it so far. It was the best $40 I spent on a helmet. Well, it was $81 and change with the shield, and shipped. I just love Newenough.com closeouts.

So, what's up around here?

It's been a while since I updated the site. It seems I'm not a very good blogger, or more correctly, not a very active blogger. Well, I apologize for that. So with that, here's another [un]exciting update from yours truly.

Alaska Trip

  • The AK trip is still a go, but I've pushed it back to 2012. Reason being that I feel I need more time to adequately prepare for such a large undertaking (large for me, anyway).

Bike

  • I've been putting a substantial amount of work into the bike. Some things are just maintenance items, and some are just upgrades/farkles.
  • Finished items include oil change, and new tires.
  • TODO: oil cooler, wheel bearings, rear brakes, new front fender, relocate heated grip switch, replace rear shocks.
  • Possibly on list: New LED indicators and brake/tail light, Pelican cases and trunk, case guards.

Gear

Well, that's about it for now. Thanks for stopping by. I'll try to keep this thing updated a little better.
