Well this is how the day ended up... and we have sunny any 60 this weekend.

Flat rear after running through some glass that I couldn't avoid, a real bummer but good experience I guess.

Yep. I figured why not. I need a bit more pullback and my shoulder is feeling much better these days, I also had my seat redone. It sits lower and I am pushed back more.

I flew into Albany, NY yesterday afternoon and woke up to a bunch of wet sticky snow. Leaving Saturday back to Sunny Santa Barbara,Ca.

Bill I hope your up and running again soon. Hate to lose good days of riding.

JC which riser did you use with this? When I spoke to Tyler at Carlini he said if Im going to the FT Nacelle I will need bars made for the Roadking (1" step in)... did your Nacelle come with new risers?

Just curious about why you changed your riding position? I'm talking to Mean City Cycles about getting my seats reworked and was wondering if it's something to look into?

I had noticed that when riding my *** was almost over the back of the seat. I wanted it kind of dished out more to cradle my fat ***. I also had a tailbone relief channel put in the seat. Got the seat back last week but I have not been home to check it out yet.
