Re:What did you do to your RS today? 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
Thanks to Droptopcaddy, I have tore my bike down again! I took the Tricky Air leak off my bike and I am now installing an air bag setup... I got the metal cut and ready to weld in place... started taking the front end completely apart for some new neck bearings and progressive springs... now it is the waiting game... waiting for UPS to show up at the house with my stuff... I tell ya, he better be ready when he pulls up next to the garage... Ima be like a pitbull trying to chew his leg off til he gets me my packages!

Had the new white walls installed. I have never been a white wall fan but they were on the bike when I bought it and I actually think I am starting to like them with all the touring goodies. I will get some pics tomorrow if I get a chance to clean all that blue crap off them. Why do they put that crap on there?!?!?!?!

Can't wait to see the finished product. thanks,tomorrow i will be mocking them up in the backrest side brackets and measuring the distance between for the joining plates. the tour box that i have is an 1984 model hd which has moulded in ribs that run the lenght of the box on both sides. the brackets that i made sit under those ribs so i need to come off the bracket with a flat strip and then up again into the flat center area of the box. mort
