Got in 60 miles today while stopping to tune once in a while. Getting closer.

Yessss everyone doin some riding!!!!

 

[proracedriver616]

We all need to do a ride together this summer!

 

[in4aride]

Yessir. My buddy and I are about to hit a ride in a few. (North denver)

 

[SolarBell]

Hmm. Still debating about plating mine. I might get out more.

 

[DutchVDub]

So mike, what is the reason for a second caliper on your rear brake?

 

[in4aride]

I'll be running the handbrake line to that caliper.

 

[DutchVDub]

So are you linking the front/rear brakes, losing the front brakes, or adding a separate hand control for the rear brake? And why?

 

[DutchVDub]

A little early morning hotel maintenance. My 12v accessory outlet wasn't working. The fuse was still good so I had to dig deeper. The wires had come unplugged was all, but I couldn't get them through the headlight hole and had to take the entire outer fairing off. It's only 16 easy to get to bolts total including the windshield and headlight.

And a pic of one of the times we were using my little bike pump to refill our buddy's tire.

Wound up taking HWY-40 all the way from Heber City, UT to Silverthorne. Then we stopped in Idaho Springs for dinner at Tommy Knockers.

From there Chad (on the Triumph T-Bird 1700) took I-70 all the way home to Denver while the rest of us headed up to Black Hawk/Central City and then rode HWY-119 to Nederland, HWY-72 to HWY-7, and then dropped into Lyons and home.

Now my bike is back in the garage in desperate need of a wash. It was a great ride with good friends, definitely worth the trip for a burger.

 

[xj-grin]

you guys are going to miss out on some mileage when in-and-out opens in Golden this summer... :eyes:

Front lever control for rear brake. Allows rear brake control even if foot isn't able to reach.

LOL...... wheelies! Duh....:twak:

:laugh:

Bahahahahaha. Yella for the win.

 

[DutchVDub]

Ok, that makes sense. Are you running a separate control though or losing the front brakes all together? For street use I'd want a separate front brake still.

I got my bike all fresh and clean


I bought it in March and I'm up to 3362 miles now. The Victory has been great thus far. Gets the same or slightly better mileage than my friend's Harley's and it definitely out accelerates and out handles them. I'm looking forward to getting the intake and tuner for this.

 

[in4aride]

Hahaha. No Dutch. Front brake controls stay untouched. Rear footbrake controls remain untouched as well. (Although they will be getting upgraded lines )
I'll be running a seperate master cylinder under the clutch lever with its own line that will only work the second rear caliper.
Look like this

 

[in4aride]

Did a late night ride up to idaho springs last night with my buddy who is new to the biking world.

 

[DutchVDub]

Ok, that's sort of what I was thinking. Tom Sykes has his rear brake control on the left bar as well, it's a thumb paddle type setup.

That's always a fun ride up to Idaho Springs. Bonus is Tommy Knockers is up there.

 

[in4aride]

It was like 1am so we just shot up there and then went home. Fun lil ride.

Yeah rear handbrakes are the tits

 

[DutchVDub]

We should go for a ride this weekend. You sport bike guys can show me how all my buddies felt this weekend, struggling to keep up in the twists.

 

[in4aride]

I cover a guy friday or Saturday but let me know what's up and I'll come out.
