What did you do IN your garage today?

Postby JimVonBaden » Wed Jan 14, 2015 11:01 pm

Just a few things:



Took shots of the difference between all black panniers inside and out and light inside:

Added some molding to the bottom of my Jesses, and some SOLAS in case I end up upside down in a ditch, or need to take them off and set them on rough pavement.
Image
Image



Mounted a WinCam on my bike behind the headlight protector. Easily removed, but well protected. Another good reason not to have an LED headlight! 0

Plus I replaced a couple dented Jesses with replacements.

Jim,

I love the camera mount--very slick!

Do you run it pretty much continuously when you ride?

Hi Rick,

Typically not. I just tested it for work, but I do plan to use it on the weekends.

Here is my test run: DC Commute

Well, I'm a bit delinquent, but WHO CARES! I HAVE A NEW, BIGGER, MORE AWESOME WIND SCREEN!!

Really though, I love my new windscreen! Now I don't have to listen to Greg complain about all the residual noise coming through the comms as my ass is being blown around on my baby GS!

Thank goodness we installed this when we did, my ears were getting blown away from her wind noise, Lol. And it was a very easy install.

Installed my new painted tool box!

Then added some reflective decals to my bike to highlight my company, and to make me more visible during my commute:

Plastidipped and installed, temporarily, and EZPass on a GSAw.

I left the super Velcro on, for now, because I am not sure if I will use it after I make a permanent mount!

Helped to add Clearwater Darlas on BMW mounts, and a Billie brake light and Stebel horn.

Hopefully the Kermit will post a few photos. It was late and he needed to go.
