Noticed that my rear shock nut was a little lose, couldn’t have given it more than a SLIGHT tight and the thing just snapped right the hell off.
got a nut that matched the threads...does anyone know what kind of work is involved to replace that stud? Or would I be better off cutting it off on...
Got my Texavina seat installed and changed the oil.
This seat is so much more comfortable than the stock seat I had.
Now time to look for a new brake light, not a fan of the giant red square.
Got the bike all put back together today, went on a little 10 mile ride. About two miles from home it started to jerk when giving it any amount of throttle. Came to a stop and looked down, spark plugs wire on the right hand side had just "fallen" out of the cap. So looks like I'll be replacing...

Also trying to fan up a mount for the 2 6" lightbars I got as a temporary headlight...
So I noticed a piece of the air intake a boot (middle section connecting the two airboxes) had a small chunk missing from coupler, so I'm guessing it's gonna be leaking there. I can't even find what the part is actually called.
