More than one thing during Saturday:

*** D O N E ***

Power Distribution Module - PDM60

Mounts:
Take down light bracket (over the mirror mount)
PCA (under the mirror mount)
Shelf
Three 1" RAM ball to the shelf
1" RAM mount bracket on the right handlebar with a RAM X-grip for phone

Auxiliary lights:
Denali Dx (spot) dual intensity to mounts over the mirror
Denali D4 (flod) to the mounts under the mirror

Horn:
Denali Soundbomb split horn (120 dB)

GPS:
Garmin Zumo 395LM hard wired

Puppy grips

Fixed the mount of the Garmin Nuvi 57LM

*** T O D O ***

ADVMonster 30 to the front fender
Rear lights (don't know what kind but would like the once that flash 3 or 4 times)
Auxiliary fuel cell
Add the lights to the Givi trunk (current rack does not allow installation, don't want to go back to the Givi rack so maybe drill a hole and keep it waterproof?)
Russel Day Long seat (heated), the thing is this is a 2up seat and will not work with the fuel cell in the passenger seat location. Current seat on the bike is a 2 piece Corbin (not heated) that would work for the fuel cell

Installed Pazzo shorty clutch & brake levers, a ProjektD radiator guard, and Throttlemeiser throttle lock.

Last Sunday I installed T-Rex engine guards, luggage guards and front axle sliders.

Attempted to finish a tire change/driveshaft spline lube on my '12.

See thread elsewhere in the forum on how THAT job is progressing...

Just put on a Michelin Pilot4 GT ordered a Murphs bearing shifter kit.
What Im finding as is as I add little tweaks it just gets better and better.
The Evo flash was the best improvement to date but add in the throttle tamer and bearing shifter among other small tweaks it all adds up to large changes.
Love the Pilot 4 !!

Dressed the boogered-up area of my left sub-frame bracket then painted it.

For anyone needing to touch up or repaint frame parts on these bikes, VHT's Engine Metallic SP405 (Black Pearl) is almost an identical match. ("Almost" as the OEM paint is a tiny bit flatter; less metallic.)

Prep, apply a few coats in 10min intervals...let sit for 2-3h then bake for 1h in a 200 degree F oven. My hot-rod buddy/gal pal who stopped over as I was finishing up the baking said she couldn't tell the finishes apart.

Installed Kaoko throttle lock. I'll have to ride some to give it a more meaningful report but I am a little concerned that it seems to take more degrees of movement for full lock to full unlock than I hoped. What that may mean is that I will have to first rotate the Kaoko as I twist the throttle and then, reach back over and rotate the Kaoko a bit more to really get it to hold. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but that's my initial finding. BTW, the instructions were not clear but I did use BOTH thrust washers (a thin, flat one and the other one they described as "spigoted" that actually engages the throttle tube).

Oil change, rear drive oil change, and clutch fluid change.

Tim · « **Reply #60 on:** August 19, 2017, 11:07:22 pm »

Installed a lightly used Corbin seat (thanks jumbo_sf), one of Phil's outstanding luggage racks, a Givi V47NNT topcase, and TechSpec tank grips.

Don't worry, that is the best lock money can buy! Had mine for over 35K and loving it!

How did you mount the horn? Any pictures? Thanks

Installed the Evitek LED headlights today, pretty simple job.

Got in my Bridgestone T30 EVO GT tires, took the stretch wrap off them and realized I ordered a 120-70-18 front tire

Damnit, called Jake wilson, ordered the correct tire which I will have on Friday and they sent me a return lable free shipping back even though it was my screw up.

To Jake Wilson, I told the woman they have excellent customer service, and she is filing the $50 rebate for me, and I had $18 of Jake cash from other orders, so when all is done, the tires will cost me $198

for the set

I will install them this weekend after the ride to eat in Hazlehurst GA

Jerry, I just used the same mounts on the bike. I bought the harness for the Steble horns so it was much easier to connect everything.

I changed the final drive oil.

I looked at it on the way by in the garage heading to the car for work.

COGnosticator · « **Reply #69 on:** August 24, 2017, 09:59:41 pm »

Mounted a pair of Bridgestone T30 EVO GT tires this morning. Waiting on my $50 rebate now

Baggerjohn · « **Reply #74 on:** August 28, 2017, 05:08:36 pm »

Got my '12 back together over the weekend. Swapped antenna mounts so my antennas will clear the Givi V46NT I added to the existing Phil's rack.

New PR4GTs feel good.

Next on the list is wiring the trunk for a running/brakelight setup them plumbing the bike's wiring harness for the required voltages. Probably install the brakelight when I have the trunk apart for a luggage rack/passenger backrest addition.
