  1. Installed the updated clutch cable, and the additional 12v outlet.
  2. FedEx showed up with my SW-Motech skid plate that I ordered based on the successful test by @bbb . Pleasantly painless install; maybe 20 minutes. While I was waiting for that to show up, gave the bike it's weekly wash, chain service, check over, and tried out the Motion Pro V3 cable luber, since my updated cable still hasn't arrived. Niftly little unit.
  3. Added a brake/clutch mount RAM X-Grip. Attached to the V-Stream bracket. Didn't require any modification beyond trimming down the u-bolt threads. I just bottomed the nuts on it, cut off the excess, and then mounted to the wind screen bracket with the included spring washers and loctite after adding a little black spray paint to cover the cut surfaces.
  4. I worship at the alter of Revzilla.
  5. Klim Latitude. Served me well this winter in multiple downpours, and a couple instances where opposing traffic hit the standing water I was crossing, giving me a pretty good pressure wash. Sleeves are a little short for a lanky guy like me, but with gauntlet gloves it doesn't really matter.
  6. Man, I really just want cruise control. I wouldn't mind losing the speed limiter, but I'm actually amatuer enough to be happy with the performance as is.
  7. Put on the Vstream sport touring shield yesterday. Definitely less wind on me. Still noisy (dual sport hemet, so...) and still plenty of bugs to the face, but it is a more comfortable ride.
  8. Put the Yamaha heated grips on today. I'm impressed with how clean they look and work. Went for a test ride and saw another guy on a silver 2016. He had the beak on his. Didn't look bad. Wouldn't get one myself, but it kept the lines clean.
