Dialed in my stock suspension as much as I can for the past week, SAG still need to fine tune, put a few hundreds of miles on the bike already.
By the way, I probably need some help setting my SAG up if anyone also need it done may be we can help each other. :thumbup

My twofiddy is half-way out of storage, put in a battery a few days ago, unplugged intake/pipes and got 'er running. Just needs new tires (had a new set of pirellis for a year now), some parts bolted back on that I took off for the winter, and front brake switch sorted out. Waiting for some nice weather.

It’s a valid point, I already crashed it a couple of times. Last summer was without incident though. Progress? I think so.

got 95% of the wiring done. Chain has been oiled, oil was changed at the very end of last year, new gas has been run through it already, and the headlight should be here by the end of the week which means I should have it all back together next weekend and out for a good wash and wax depending on the weather.
