    Wow, spending ll this money and didn't even get the name right.

    Traxxion has an approved shop in Windsor that is doing the work.

    Knocked out 518 miles on NH back roads today. This was the first real test of the MBL risers I added a couple of weeks ago. The risers are an improvement but not perfect. I'm guessing I won't truly be happy until I have a Russel day-long and Helibars.
    I think the Russel day-long is in my near future; I'm still experiencing some pressure points with the Ultimate King after a couple of consecutive hours (but much better than stock). I'd like a little more comfort and I'm wishing I got the heated seat option for spring and fall riding. It is the middle of summer and I was chilly this morning! Where I am, I think I'd use the seat heat for half of my riding. July 30th and I used my heated grips this morning!

    A warm tush can make all the difference!
    Even on a 65 degree morning....if you didn't get that second cup of coffee or you chose the cotton briefs instead of flannel, seat heat rocks!

    Also, a note about Grip Puppies: I added these about a month ago. I like them a lot but the heat transferred to the hands from the heated grips is significantly reduced. On the highest setting I used to think the grips were almost too hot. Now, with the Grip Puppies installed, the highest heat setting feels like low. Yes, I can feel the heat, but I wish I felt more heat.
    It is a trade-off. Expect to lose some heat from the heated grips if you add the comfort of Grip Puppies. We'll see which direction I choose when autumn rolls around.

    Last week Rivco Pegs and the luggage rack.
    It was the TRIVECTA and 1200 miles this week.
    Heli Bars, Madstad 13 inch clear, Mustang seat and hit the road to Maryland for work.
    That is a true test ride for the modification's, I will add a throttlemeister as I hate the sloppy throttle and I know it is a cure to the no feel grip.
    Have to say that was the smoothest 1200 miles I did in my life. Can't wait for this round of work to be finished as I have no return schedule. Can we say Shenandoah and Natchez trace in one week.

    Installed a set of Helibars on my 6 . Difference is night and day. Still some tweaking to get them perfect but well worth it. Took me about 4 hours taking breaks and going slowly.
