Installed the Kuryakin "Cruise Control". Nice! A good design.
It'll save me some wrist pain this May!

Left it in Denver under a tarp.  Hello South Texas!  Time for some fishing and relaxation.

Rode into work today, crossed the 4000 mile mark. I am really loving the ride. It gets better every day.

That's around where the bike really starts to feel broken in.  Enjoy!

Went over the bike and couldn't find anything to cause that noise I had, it's been raining so I haven't made it out for a ride to check it out again. I did come across a nice clean filler for the mirror holes left when you switch to bar ends, they are 'Nylon Rivets' that I found at Lowe's in the automotive hardware drawers. Only $1.09 for two of them, they are a little small so I just wrapped some rubber around them and had to cut the tips off the anchor. Looks nice and clean

After slaving over a hot Ural working on it all afternoon, my light began to fail, so I jumped on my G5 Deluxe for a refreshing sunset Burn-up. I terrorized the neighborhood for about 30 minutes, & was successful in having some fun before the "Loud Motorcycle Punk" complaints could be acted upon. All together a good day.

Kinda bizarre.
Got back yesterday from a 30+ mile ride and heard a "clunk" as I pulled into the garage. One of the acorn nuts for a top shock bolt fell off! Checked the other side and it was history. I expect someone got it through their grill. My own fault for not tightening them properly. Lesson learned.
Learned another thing...
IPB shows the bolts as:
  PN 170399 Hex Bolt - 3/8"x45 (for RH Side only), and
  PN 111696 Hex Bolt - 3/8" BSF x 2" (For LH Side only).

Ok, I "get" the 3/8" diameter (M10 replacement is too big to fit). What I've never seen is any SAE diameter mixed with a metric length (45mm) and metric thread pitch (1.25 as measured with my pitch gage). 
So I took it to ACE hardware to mess with the "pros" a bit. Had a bit of fun with them scratching their heads and telling me "No way!" "Impossible!" "Where the hell did you get this?!?"

A couple of 3/8" x 2" bolts with matching Acorn nuts did the trick for me, and I ordered a couple each of the OEM bolts and nuts for good measure. I'll keep them in my tool bag.

Went home. Finished installing my now primed and painted mounting stays for the RE Pannier racks, and short of a chain and oil change in a week or two I'm good to go!

Would love to see some pictures of the pannier racks and panniers once your done.  Seems to be the biggest missing accessory for the C5 anyway.

Hi, No not yet, but my wife says its raspier than a Harley loud, & I did romp everywhere I could. Probably did get noticed.

Decided to take the bike for a run with no front fender while I wait to get my extended fender stays back from the welder.  Streets were a little wet from recent rain.  Yeah...not sure how people can do this all the time.  Those K70s put up a nice rooster of spray.

Thanks, but the picture was removed.  Maybe once you get them on the bike, etc.?

Changed the oil... and found the remnants of a shattered needle bearing stuck to the drain plug magnet.

Yikes!  What's it from?  Is this a surprise, or did you know of problems?
