Opened it up and got up over 100mph earlier tonight finally. Woohooooooooooooo!

I mean I, uh, drove it sensibly and well within all posted speed advisories, officer... :whistle:
 
Got my v7 on the ramp and re-torqued the heads after 1000km since installation. It was a fun job to do getting my hands oily again. Adjusted the valves and filled her up again with fresh oil and adjusted the front drumbrakes. Next up is the griso for a hugger and bearing check while i,m there.
 
Installed Agostinis on my V7R and went for a test ride in the sun.

Unfortunately my evap canister fell off during the procedure and was declared missing.
 
Scrapped out the idea (and hours work of work :( ) trying to cobble universal brackets together for a pair of saddlebags my cousin gave me.

Oh well.

Will have to save the 25,000 pennies for the Hepco-Becker saddlebag bag brackets for leather saddlebags if I really want them on.

Installed new front Brembo caliper on my 2013 V7R, hooked up a Dobeck Performance EFI controller, then went for a ride in the sunshine in Seattle.

Life is good.
 
Made up new fuel lines, installed new taps in the tank, ordered some filters and other small bits.

After work, I'll install the airbox, drain the remaining fluids, and pull the oil pan.

Yesterday I lowered the thermister in the tank. There's a thread in the V7C-S section about it. While I had the tank off, I replaced the spark plug wires. I got tired of my plug connectors. They started out red when the bike was new. Then they faded to pink. And finally, they were some nasty-looking orange color. I put some "NGK Racing" wires on there. I don't think there was much, if any, performance benefits, but they look much, much better. They also have an extra sleeve over the wires where they wrap around the heads.

Today, I rode the bike. Unfortunately, it was all slab time, but I did work on my lane splitting skills (not intentional - traffic sucked).
 
Not so much today, but over the past week I have installed new tires, brake pads, HH all around, and changed the rear drive to a 7/33. Next to do are fluid changes, brake bleeding and removal of evap canisters.
 
Today I went to my garage and removed the front fender, wheel and headlight. I would like to put new front forks. Is it impossible to put anther manufacturers front end on or would like a miracle if any matched. If not are there any aftermarket that are beefed up.

It's a 69 v750 ambassador.

#2 and #4 are going to make a huge difference in the way that bike handles. Be careful first time out.
 
Cleaned and polished every bit of chrome.

Installed some mirror extenders.

Mow just need to convince my Bride I need the Hepco-Becker dring lights and Guzzitech mufflers..................... For "Safety Sake".........
 
Added a Pyramid hugger and fenda extenda to the Griso yesterday, then took a couple of hours to rag it around on a sunny spring afternoon -- just to make sure nothing fell off. ;)

The directions left a lot to be desired, but it wasn't too hard to figure out. Took a few back-and-forth loosening and fiddling sessions to get the hugger centered, and drilling holes in the fender to mount the extender made me a little nervous (used painter's tape to avoid scratching.)

Like the look, and it should make the bike easier to clean after riding in the rain.

yes true on #2 for sure done this on every cali style bike I have owned.
One of the first mods i do to them. Brings the bike more in line with its sporty nature

I installed the Tekno bag mounts on my Cafe Sport and checked it's oil level -- all in prep for the Visalia NAR this weekend :woohoo:
 
Spring has finally come here now , saw my first swallow of the year yesterday and the frogs in the pond have spawned the same day.Went for a 60 mile ride today on dry roads , showing 13 degrees on the Griso clock, bliss .
