Only issue is I have to send it to him and I sold my old AC, so no bike for like 2 weeks while they swap it. :sad_face:

12$ and 30minute mod will get you riding. I also rode for a day with a bandana for an air cleaner.

Got BYO brake line kit from magnum shielding. Going to have 1 brake line go from the rear caliper to front master and the front caliper going to a proportioning valve then to the front master. Should have the last couple fittings this week... some how forgot to order the double banjo bolt and one of the banjo fittings....

I had to read this 3 times to figure out what was going on. Somehow I skipped the part about you having a prosthetic until the third pass. This sounds pretty sweet! Be sure to post up when you have everything operational, I'd like to read how you complete everything. I've contemplated doing something similar only the other way around. I'd like to clean my bars up by removing the brake lever and using the foot peddle to operate both calipers.

I was into photog pretty intensely for a few years, and it was an awesome endeavor. But eventually I had a big pile of gear sitting there unused. So I sold it and put it towards my first motorcycle.

Sometimes I wish I had the old rig, but the bike is my real passion.
Nice bokeh on your pics, btw!

You can pick up a good kit now adays for less than the cost of PV lol.
Get yourself an older 5D (3's are cheap now) and a walk around zoom, and a prime or 2 and youd have everything you need. maybe $1000 out the door if you went for newer / better glass.

Put 2" baffles in my Rush pipes. Sound even better than before! Not a lot louder. Musta messed up the PN though, as these are longer and the bolt doesnt line up, might have to drill a hole to mount them, but had to rubber mallet them in place, so I dont think they're going anywhere. Will post clip.
