Install an AFR gauge RIGHT NOW! and you will be the happiest you have ever been.'
Once there they are the ultimate addition and addiction.
Get a wide band-Amazon sells them.
This takes ALL the guesswork out it.
In fact, most people have no clue how to do a REAL plug check
(you have to kill the engine pull in the clutch coast to a stop and THEN you get a reading for what you were just doing.)
This is the caveman way and very time consuming and less than accurate, not to mention all the time used on the side of the roads is sort of dangerous.

I’ve looked at those AFR things. Do you need to drill into your garage exhaust

Yup, about a 1/2 inch hole saw will do it on the back side of the front pipe (out of sight) and weld the bung in that comes with the kit.
The AFR is one of the best mods you will ever do to your bike.

So is that actual hardwood or that fake plastic stuff? Either way, I like the look.

My 1933 Cape Cod house in Sheboygan had maple hardwood on the 1st floor, I loved the look.
