N-R Performance Rear-sets for the SR

I've largely completed fitting N-R Performance rear-sets to the SR. Check out N-R Performance, Ken was knowledgeable and great to work with. I've got a few other things to sort out and then if the weather cooperates I'll be able to test ride them and be able to speak to their function. They look the business.

I opted for the higher version and with it the different rear master cylinder.

A couple of quick pictures

I'll add details about fitting them shortly. A fair bit of cutting and grinding was needed to make room for the mounting tabs.

Food trucks

Food trucks are finally starting to get a foot hold here in Boston. Our favorite is Bon Me Truck. The barbecue pork on a baguette is light and delicious. http://www.bonmetruck.com/

We found out their schedule is on the website, and that they were open in Copley Square on Saturday so I used it as an excuse to go for a short ride.

Annual blog post?

Sad that it's taken so long to get back here.

Enough about that.

Great ride to start the new year yesterday. Rode the Eleven from Boston to Houlton, ME and back per google maps 722 miles round trip. I'd hoped to make it up to Madawaska but Rt. 1 had a couple inches of nasty slushy slop so I drew the line.

At the info center in Houlton, ME. Warming up and checking conditions.

The new rear shock and re-worked front forks made a world of difference. The seat could use a bit of work but didn't really start to bother me until I was almost home. That and a cruise control so I can rest my right hand occasionally and we'll be all set.

Back at home, quietly awaiting desalination. 

It's clear why these made such great endurance racers, all day it just hammered along, didn't miss a beat.
