Installed some v&h monster rounds on the bike today. Had cfr knockoff's on it but they were way too open & I could feel a significant loss of torque. The monster rounds really helped to get some torque back. They're a little quieter then I wanted, should have gotten the high outputs or the 450's, but I'm still pretty happy with the sound.

Last time I was out I got caught in some rain so the bike was a mess. Started to wash it to put away for the winter nap being it was in the 40's today. The daughter came home and asked if I could take her out for a ride. So we did. Washed it again and put her away.
Two Edelmann 1/8 - 1/4 brass nipple fittings, one similar size 'T' fitting, 36" of vacuum hose. Blue Thread Locker. Step-drill bottom of Arlen Ness B/S Breather runners to tap size, tap 28 tpi NPT to fit. Remove (Dremel carbide cut-off) three threads from fittings to seat flush with bottom of breather runners and chamfer fitting passageway to encourage oil flow. Fit and route tubing to rear swing-arm pivot.
Clean throttle body, no more intermittent miss at light load. I think it's safe to put the Thundermax back on since it won't be trying to tune itself out of a constantly deteriorating condition!!
Almost 70* here today and going to be in the low 60's tonight, so taking the bike to class for what's probably going to be the last nice day of the year.
17,200 miles later I had to get new tires installed. Went with the Michelin Commanders II. Hope those last longer but already feel a difference in the ride and cornering...Much better than the stock Dunlops...
Washed and waxed yesterday and now waiting out the rain here in "Sunny" Florida so we can go for a ride.
