New mirrors. I put the kickstand down on squishy ground and my bike fell over

New rubber ready for COTA.
Also did another oil/filter change. I might be getting a little OCD on that though.

Pretty^^^^^

I also picked up a set of bt003rs for cota.

I have a -1 on the front so I got a -2 & +2 for the rear. I figure the rear is easier to change than the front. The -2 will get it close to stock gearing for the highway rides. I may also throw it on for cota because of the long straights. The +2 is of course for the fun of it.

-2 rear will never be used. You would probably have to adjust chain length for a 4 tooth change anyway.

Other than not being able to put the tire far back enough to remove slack is there rule to needing to remove links? I put the -2 on and still have 3 of the little notches to set the tire behind the square washer. Hope that makes sense.

Put the damned +2 on and go ride it! That is literally the only rule!

$900+ in service for the FJR. :(

I think next time I'm pulling the plastics myself. It'll be easier to transport and will probably save $300-400 in labor.

Nah, I was asking for it.

Seriously, it got a double-service, and their shop rate is posted in big ol' letters right there. They let me know ahead of time what it was going to run me.

My C14 was similar - I never paid less than $600 to get her serviced.

For that price I hope they put summer air in the tires?
