Made the ice box and took the box for a 3 day test ride. 3 peanut butter jars of frozen water lasted 2 days. Half bag of ice lasted another day.

Cool (pun intended). so the box fits onto the rear rack? and the wok in the lid fits over the ice box?

Yes, snaps in & down just like a Givi top box ... and yes

Wow, mark me down as impressed.

Thanks. Burnt out a few brain cells figuring out the process for putting the grooves in the end caps.

I'll be posting a build thread on 1 or 2 woodworking forums. Would there be any point in cross-posting here?

Can you post links to the threads on the woodworking forums? I know I would be interested.

+1 on the linking to the build.

Rudy got a new Z tube and turn signal bulb today, and a case hinge coming in the mail from maxbmw. First two up camping trip with the GF coming this weekend - I think I'm gonna work on my sheepskin seat cover attachment. Haven't figured out if it's gonna be straps, bungies or velcro yet, but I've got a big enough sheepskin to try a few things.

herseyb · « **Reply #1606 on:** September 02, 2015, 10:23:30 AM »

Startin' ta feel like I'm talkin' to myself in here!! Get to work, guys!

Got the sheepskin on, bringin my mad max level up 3 notches.

I got a real thick pile (rare american breed, of course), and didn't put it on the sides. That's bringing a lot of pressure off the insides of my thighs from that stock seat.

Comfy, and raises my shorty seat model up a bit too.

Synced throttle bodies,made a big difference so I guess I must have left it for too long.

Got fairing lowers back from painter. Really nice job and good color match. looks like the rest of the bike now needs to be painted. Waiting until riding season winds down. Ordered new fairing bracket as mine's got a bend.

bizzaro · « **Reply #1609 on:** September 04, 2015, 09:00:05 PM »

Synched throttle body's.............. again. I am idling a bit high and trying to take it down a bit. Got up right on,even steven, but it is still idling a bit high?? Any suggestions?

mejetski2000 · « **Reply #1610 on:** September 05, 2015, 06:04:04 PM »

Rode it. It's feeling happier with all the maintenance I've been doing. Got Guard Dog and new breather hose from Beemer Boneyard, Honda fork juice going in also.

Gave my wife more reasons to love me, for instance, washed some plastics in "her" kitchen sink. I also cleaned the TB's, but that was the other day. Discovered one cracked bushing and one ripped darn near in half. Oh... Yeah, the TB's were done in the sink as well.

How fresh are your injector seals ? If your cylinders aren't maintaining consistent reading on manometer over a short span of time I'd be looking at seals and possibly off-bike injector cleaning.

My plenum to TB's were lousy with cracks and rips; couldn't have discovered them without pulling them off.

I fitted a new clock unit in my instrument panel, this one with integrated thermometer and voltmeter. Good to know when it's below freezing, which isn't too many weeks away.. :mbird

What is this clock of which you speak? Sounds interesting. Is it a direct replacement?

Right you are...

I took out the original LCD clock because it didn't work anymore. I've been going for a while with a cheap ebay 12-hour clock, which I've now updated to a slightly less cheap ebay 24-hour clock/thermometer/voltmeter. I bought it a year or two ago, but I think it's the same as this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-30-Electric-Digital-Panel-Car-Clock-Thermometer-Voltmeter-LED-DC-33V-200V-/350793964999?var=&hash=item51acf31dc7

In fact it's so long ago I bought it that the button cell battery that served as the clock backup was pretty much dead. I had to pry it out of the hot-snot or whatever goo it was cast into and solder in a replacement.

Anyhow, I routed the two buttons for it to the black toggle switch you see below. Also present is a USB power cable, and Robert's gear indicator (that LCD died on me too).

Thanks for the input guys. As the season is winding down here, it looks like it will be included in this Winters"tear down" series! I did pop in a new air filter a couple of weeks ago in between throttle body turnings. Could it be the new filter is bringing the idle up?IE: More air flow?

Bought new brake master cylinder from BB. OUCH !

RobP · « **Reply #1620 on:** September 09, 2015, 11:26:51 AM »

I installed a rear master cylinder rebuild kit and replaced the rubber rear brake line with a Spiegler woven stainless line.

mejetski2000 · « **Reply #1621 on:** September 09, 2015, 08:49:46 PM »

Bought Castrol gear oil and Liqui-Moly gear oil additive for transmission and final drive fluid change. Hoping the Liqui-Moly helps smooth out my box a bit...

bizzaro · « **Reply #1622 on:** September 10, 2015, 08:11:09 PM »

Is it Castrol Ligui Moly additive? Synthetic? Can't seem to find the Guard Dog gear additive?

mejetski2000 · « **Reply #1623 on:** September 10, 2015, 09:30:29 PM »

Not Castrol product. Company is called Liqui-Moly, German outfit. Bought it on Amazon, part number 2019.

mejetski2000 · « **Reply #1624 on:** September 12, 2015, 05:19:10 PM »

Today I replaced the front brake master cylinder, changed out transmission oil for Castrol laced with Liqui-Moly and replaced some vacuum lines under the fuel tank. Test drove about 50 miles, brakes work MUCH better and the transmission is definitely smoother shifting.
