Happy Days are here again!! - Banned_imp - 04-19-2018
I couldn't wait any longer and got my CB and Ulysses out of storage today. Normally I would wait for a few more rain storms to clean the salt off the roads but they look fairly good right now.
Both bikes fired up right away so I took each for a short ride. I was apprehensive at first but the back pain wasn't too bad, I took it easy and only did 30km on the Ulysses and 20km on the CB and that was about all I could handle anyway.
Riding the bikes back to back like that certainly highlighted the short comings in the CB's suspension so I'll have to get the new stuff installed before doing much riding.
It felt so good to be back on a bike, it was a little cold (just above freezing) but my HD FXRG gear makes short work of the cold. I swear that gear is good enough for snowmobiling.
My goal is to get out every day and work up to the long ride to the rally.

Well done, W/R. Must have felt good.

Good news. Just take it easy.

Get those forks installed.

I ordered the Ikons for the rear today, as soon as they arrive I'll get everything installed.
No riding today - woke up to snow that continued until 2pm.

Good choice on Ikons. I love mine huge difference! I also changed the front springs. Enjoy

I ordered direct from Ikon.
The CB is now parked until the new suspension is installed, it is just beating me up too bad. I took it Fri for a 40km ride and I could barely get off when I got home . Same route on the Ulysses on Sat was no problem.
Did you get your RC and Corbin seat?
