Not a ton to update on the bike, but I'll put what I have on here. I'm not getting as much riding is as I would like to be this summer, as I'm doing the dad stuff this summer. Im a bit north of 300 miles and started to play with jetting on the mikunis a bit. I'm currently at 195 on the mains and 32.5 on the pilots, and it all still seems a bit on the rich side which is a bit perplexing to me.
I also worked up pulley system for the clutch as well. Airheads have a big ol single disc clutch, which tend to have a bit of a stiff pull. I'm far from old, but days of stop and go or in town traffic fatigue my left hand more than they used to. I turned the pulley from a chunk of brass stock that
@ridesolo gave me a few years back, and put the rest together from hardware store stuff. The action is impressive, and cuts the pull in half at the expense of doubling the travel needed. You have to adjust the clutch more or less perfectly to get full disengagement and engagement across the travel, but it really feels like a modern hydraulic unit now. I have a few close friends with airheads (all of which I met here on DTT) and I am making a "kit" for them as well, but have no interest in making any more. There is a guy on ADV rider that sells a very similar setup, and I have no intentions of cutting into his market lol
I did mount a set of conti attack classic radials as well, which were a bit spendy, but also really review well, and will hopefully make the bike handle the twisties a bit better. The 705's always impressed me for a dual sport tire, and never had them wash, but they didn't inspire confidence a few times that I nicked hard parts down when coming into a sweeper a bit too hot.
