I had my bike out Thursday for a few hours so I had the opportunity to wring it out a lot more. I still believe this one mod has made the biggest impact on the bike to date. Unfortunately it is now parked for the winter and it will be a good 5 months before I can ride again. My front mount was not shot but was getting weak so it probably made more of a change than if I had a perfect front factory mount.

No it really does not end. Seems like there is always at least one more thing to do in order to reach a state of perfection.

Also interested if anyone has come up with a good way to fix the positioning of the rear brake lever?

When I first got my LR, I did not like the way the rear brake lever worked. However, I quickly got used to it and now it works fine for me. In some of the earlier pages of this thread, some LR owners showed what they did to improve the situation.

I may have it checked, but it felt fine. It wasn't pulling one way or the other. I only have about a 1,000 miles of wear left on the rear tire so when I get it changed next year at the shop I will have them check it.
