Thank you guys. I am in Northern California, I would love to fish Texas, where they are way bigger!

I have been so busy, I have had zero time to work on Aretha. This weekend I will be fishing, but I am trying to plan a bike maintenance trip soon.

I am the host and editor on a new YouTube fishing show that I produce with my best friend. Please give it a look and subscribe/share it to help us grow... One day I will do some Goldwing videos, my editing skills are continually improving...

Brakes are just added unnecessary weight

Who needs rear brake anyways? lol

Old crew chief saying... If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer.

This one normally pushes a 2 piston caliper, so I am actually more worried it will be too sensitive, but I hardly use the rear anyways.

I figured i might have to get creative, but the cylinder was $10 and a Goldwing one was $200+. So I will make it work somehow.

Thank you all for the kind words. This is the master cylinder I am going to use to replace the broken one in the rear. It came off of a CBR1000RR...

I finally got Aretha to stand under her own weight! So, of course I jumped on, made motor sounds with my voice and did a speed tuck... I got the rear air shocks filled and installed. the front shock still need to be filled with a syringe (I am procrastinating that job). The rear master...

I am trying to get up to my garage, and work for a couple of days on the bike, this week. Spring as appraoching!

Thank you. I have been letting her sit for too long.

Yes that is true, but I am also looking to distrubute weight evenly. I may end up going with a slightly higher seat and lower handlebars to move body weight forward. If these bars are not low enough then I will look for some clip-ons. I will really just have to feel out the right position an...

"Hard tail"... Thank you. I will see how I like the drag bars, they may be a bit low and forward for comfort, I may want to raise the seat in the future too, it rides way lower than the stock one, I feel like I am crouching a lot to sit on it (I am 6'). Then again, I have not ridden many...
