Every winter, I get PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome) bad, and end up buying bike stuff to try to satisfy the emptiness.
So far this winter, I've bought:
carb synchronizers (after endless questions here)
risers and longer bolts
all the hardware for the riser adapter doohickeys that hold the rubber fairing dampers in place
a relay for my passing lights that I found wasn't installed
a fuse block, since I'm getting too many wires coming off of the battery (Battery Tender, Stebel, passing lights, and I'm thinking about Gerbings gloves)
vacuum brake bleeder (bought to synchronize the synchronizers, but will come in handy for brake bleeding, also)
vacuum adapters and hose (also to synchronize the synchronizers)
digital tach
digital caliper (my analog caliper was fine until I saw the price of the digital unit on sale)
1" chrome 3-piece clamps and 1/8" x 1" aluminum stock for doing the crash bar reinforcement
neck gaiter for colder weather
bottom of a rollaway tool chest, to have near the bike when doing work
50mm bolts for the passing lights, to eliminate having them rest on the fender when splitting the fairing
I've had the RSV on the Carbon One stand since around Thanksgiving. I think I need to take it down and go out for a ride the next time the sun comes out. I need a fix. This is nuts.
