Thank you for the kind words!

This is what the windshield is. It's pretty pricey but works fantastic, fortunately for me I found one used on ebay for $50+$15 shipping that was like new. It attach's to the bars with just two attaching points which I was a little uncertain about but seems to work good. The little shield at the top is adjustable and really deflects the air up and over causing less wind buffeting on your helmet. It is narrow at the base of it which allows enough airflow to pass around the shield to keep you cool on hot days. The only downside is the aesthetic part of it, it doesn't flow real well with the lines of the bike but it's not horrible , at least I think so. If the base of it was a little wider it would look great I think but not sure how that would effect the airflow. Bottom line is I love it very much because it performs well as does what it is supposed to do, not to mention deflecting all those pesky bugs out of your face.

This is the sprocket and chain I bought and I like both. I might add I did make a large washer to go in between the front sprocket to push the sprocket in a little to better align the new rear sprocket because the new sprocket sets in 1/4 more than the stock sprocket. If you want me to I can take a pic of it and post it on the Chain and sprocket thread. Also I took out 2 links of the new chain for a tighter fit, you could do it with just 1 link taken out though as 2 links has the adjustment all the way forward and is pretty tight. But it does stretch a little so it will loosen up over time. I have about 500 miles on mine and haven't adjusted yet but I am getting pretty close to needing it.

Rear Sprocket- JTR269.40

Chain- JTC428HDR128SL

Did you just pop the tops lose? Project I want to tackle this winter on my storm.

herbie · 08-13-2019, 04:30 AM

Yes, I just unscrewed the top and slid the tube down. The top "cap" stays attached which is different from what I'm used to, with regular forks this would normally be the bottom of the fork. This is my first time with inverted forks, Easy job though

duck9191 · 08-13-2019, 08:07 AM

Yeah i've never messed with USD forks, sounds easy enough. Mine are soft enough that our crap MI roads will use most of the travel.

wedooit · 08-15-2019, 12:31 PM

Thanks for the info herbie, I think my forks are the same. I had to repair the fork seals on the ttr225 yammy, and of course the darn service manual didn't cover the style that was on the bike, and of course I haven't done that repair in years. I needed a hex metric tool, and of course couldn't find my set. Then I couldn't find my favorite 3/8 and 1/4 drive ratchets, that someone put in the wrong place. GOOD NEWS, I found the metric set, found the ratchets, and fork seals got replaced. No I don't have dementia as of yet (the mrs thinks I do)LOL!!!!

herbie · 08-15-2019, 06:21 PM

Ha Ha, Yeah I hate it when someone misplaces my tools

Dementia, yeah I resemble that! It's rough getting old

Bike looks very nice in red. I just got my blue one yesterday. I'll be posting pics very soon. Quick question should i do valve adjustment before i break her in? I've read they come tight from factory. Not sure if this is intended for break in period. Or they just want the bike to break lol. Please any feedback welcome I'm fairly new to all of this.

Congrats on the new bike! I'd like to see that blue in person, sure looks purty on the video. As wedooit said I would check and adjust if necessary, it's a pretty easy job if you've done that sort of thing before.

wedooit · 08-27-2019, 11:46 PM

Brozz Sir, yes adjust the valves. Mine and several others were way to tite, congrats!

Thebrozzanator · 08-28-2019, 12:26 AM

Thank you, and also for some feedback. I will add this to list of things before riding.
