Default 10k check up

took Charlotte for her 10k check up. Had my local indy (BikesBuiltbetter) do some upgrades; 180 tire, PCV, Progressive front lower springs..and a few other things since she was getting checked out.

Never knew how much i've missed her over these two weeks. Im getting her back tomorrow. I'll take pics of her lowered tomorrow.

here's her before

Going by your name and post, you really need a female in your life. IMHO

And you don't get upset if someone else is servicing her properly.

MrD,

I work right down the street from Bikes Built Better on the other side of Horsham Rd. I've bought a few things from them but haven't had any work done there yet on my bike. I have a really good relationship with everyone at Brian's so the comfort level is there, but I've heard good things about them. My buddy gets his work done there for his Katana 600.

just got my bike back on Monday, my indy (Bikes Built Better) did an amazing job. I'm sorry I waited so long to get a PCV and the Progessive front lower springs make the bike feel so different.

How do you like the 180 tire?

Which tire did you go with?
