    Got rid of the Gunslinger seat, put an old cop seat back on it. Took off the rear lowering link. Got rid of the chrome saddlebag guards (saddlebags still pop on and off easily). Added passenger floorboards instead of pegs. Got a removable Mustang passenger seat, for the times when wifey wants to ride. Much more comfortable. Still need to drop the floorboards a bit.

    for reference, as it looked this morning:

    Careful lowering the floorboards. Mine is stock and I scrape those things all of the time.

    Yeah, I’ll have to play with it. This is kinda taking on a Rat-Bike look, and although I’m putting comfort above style, function will have to be the priority.

    My first bike in 1972 was a Honda SL70. Lately I've had the itch for one. I obviously don't make enough money to afford a 72cc 35 year old bike. FFS are they pricey in running condition.

    7.5 hour trip to Salt lake city wednesday then back today..... ouch on my h2. Uncomfortable after 1-2 hours, outright agony by hour 6. By the last hour I'm going numb and changing position every 30 seconds trying to relieve the pain.

    But was a nice ride, fairly scenic for being highway 80. I noticed wyo/utah drivers all will get over out of passing lane, but colorado drivers I'd have to pass on the right with prejudice. I also posted a pretty impressive high score speed before traffic became visible ahead and I started slowing down. (I'll only do stupid stuff when no one else is around to be at risk) Was suprisingly stable, I might not need to do a steering dampener after all.

    3 of my rest breaks was just to clear my helmet visor of bugs....

    Actually decided to check the gas mileage on the supermoto today. Topped it off, rode 100 miles, and topped it back off with 1.3 gallons.

    Looks like it got 76.9 miles per gallon.

    Put that in your tailpipe and smoke it Prius drivers.

    The Honda XR650, with 13x52 sprockets, does 55mph on road but will climb trees. I like climbing trees.

    Tfogger is getting me 14x48 sprockets. More speed could be dangerous.

    We shale see.
