Man, it's crickets in here! Almost a week since the last post. I'm sure many check this site daily as I do, why not throw down real quick? Fast and easy on that device in your pocket. Anyway.
What's everybody doing for the Winter? And mods planned on your EBRs? I have parts sent out for powdercoat and black hard anodizing, and plan to install heavier clutch springs and Oberon slave cylinder, as well as install my Accossato radial master cylinders and other bits.

Not by choice, Waiting for my carbon clutch kit from Barnett, all ready have my Heavy duty racing springs, My stock clutch measured in at 29.7mm just under the min. With my riding style and my pipe,qiuck shift and deans tune with only 3200 miles stock clutch in fried with all the extra HP hoping the new springs will clamp better and get more miles on this clutch. Moral of the story if you have the lighter springs as my 15sx has they dont cut it.

I'm eyeballing that spring kit.
I'm also looking for more comfortable grips.
Toying with the idea of running a cheap action cam and screen for rear view as a replacement for mirrors. I hate mirrors and this would also alleviate the fear of smacking them during my hour-long lane-splitting commute to/from work every day. Not necessarily an EBR-specific thing...but it's one of the things I'm looking at doing anyways.
Re mirrors: At least one mirror mounted on the bike is required by law in Cali. In the past I thought I was being clever by taking the stock mirrors off and wearing a helmet visor with two small mirrors built in. But a Chippie wrote me a ticket regardless for the bike not having a mirror, grrr.
That's easy to get around, little dinky sticky mirrors on the side of the headlight housing for side-views. Boom.Originally Posted by Sparky

Something like pig spotters, but I've seen them smaller.

Been waiting all summer to ride.. mods will wait until next summer. It is smash time. I have 3700 miles on it, trying to get to 7000 ish before summer so I can do valves, plugs, tires, chain and sprockets.
I think tires and sprockets will have to happen fast because they are beat back.lol
Sprockets at 7k? What's normal sprocket life??
Lol mine are ragged at 3200 but I run things like drive chains and sprockets till they are gone gone
You wont know if your clutch is slipping or your chain on your sprockets .LOL
Winter? Whats that?
