Winter projects/to dos? - dailyrider_imp - 11-25-2016
Install a cruise control, Rostra from Murphs kits. http://www.murphskits.com/product_info.php?products_id=369
Install a gel pad in my seat. I installed one on my 2001 CBR. What a blessing to my skinny butt.
Valve adjust.
Clean up wiring for my Nautilus horn, a mess under my seat.
Install shorty Emgo reverse meg muffler. Not a big fan of noise but it needs some growl.
Most important! New steering head bearing. somethings very wrong up there.
Noticed my front end seemed loose last spring. Ended up have a tank slapper at 95 mph one day while passing on I-94. Checked rotor runout, checked wheel runout, checked tire and checked fork tube alignment and tightness. Every thing within spec. pulled top tree, lock nut only finger tight. It took 3/4 turn of adjustment nut to get back in spec. Rode out to Colorado and back with no problem but noticed that it's starting to get loose again.

I may get around to installing fork gaiters that I have been promising myself for two years

It's not too bad of a job to take out the forks. Did it this summer to change the fork fluid before my Colorado trip.

Adjust valves (well, check valves, hopefully adjustment is not needed), new plugs. Bleed brakes. Maybe fork oil. Thorough cleaning.
