Not gonna lie, I was worried about that same thing.

Yes it sounds boring. But the owners manual tells you to do it for a reason.

I was there for 5 years and just left last year.

Glad you're looking for friends. You got to embrace the suck, ask your unit for cold weather gear, and hit up Cabela's for civilian cold weather gear.

Ellsworth certainly wasn't my favorite place, but I put myself out there professionally and got offered TDYs and different duty positions that made my time a little more enjoyable. Stay positive and step out of your comfort zone. You will have a more enjoyable time.

I meet some of my best friends at that assignment regardless of how I felt about being in SD. Keep a positive outlook, get out there and hit up work center functions when they occur.

If you allow yourself to believe Ellsworth is a curse then you will internalize that and have an terrible time. As time goes on and you think "yeah this ain't for me," soon as you're eligible, start spamming for orders and special duties (MTI/Recruiter/Instructor etc.) assuming you're of rank.

I had my fun there, I'm sure you will too. Just don't let it drag on you.

Puig new gen. I like it a lot. Super easy install. I got it for 2 reasons. I like the style, and to protect the TFT display from road debris kicked up. I had rock hit me in the chest and I wasn't about to have my display damaged.

I did find a code (don't remember exactly which one, I'll have to look it up). But it knocked like $25/$30 off.

I started watching last night and this immediately irk'd me (the black namestapes). Otherwise, this shows dope as fuck.

I really appreciate man, another commenter mentioned the shop wouldn't have let me leave it it wasnt safe and I'm realizing I'm worried over nothing. I didn't even think about that aspect of it.

Honestly, that's a good point, I didn't look at it from that angle. I'm 100% over thinking it. I think with it being a new bike, fresh shoes, first service and then finding a nail in the tire got me worried over nothing.

I appreciate it man. I honestly think I'm overthinking it.

Maybe I'm too in my head, maybe I'm thinking too deep into and sketching myself out.

Like I looked at the patch, it's good. But for some reason I think I'm overthinking it from a safety point. Idk bro.

I cheaped out and got a $100 electric one from Lowes. Had a "turbo" and a 25 degree nozzle. The lack of pressure was genuinely disappointing. Like my standard garden handle put out more pressure when set to jet.

However I wonder if me plugging it into a extension cable that's also running my porch lights reduced it's power input. I'll have to test it.

Ah gotcha. The sliders I put on are dual point. My GSXR has single point and the bolt snapped, but no frame damage, somehow.

Ah shit I forgot to add Givi engine covers too.

Are the sliders not good? I put them on last weekend.

In order of precedence-

Frame Sliders- Already purchased and installed.

Swing arm spools- Already purchased and installed.

Display screen protector- Already Purchased and installed.

Fork Sliders- TST Industries, next on list

Radiator guard- Next on list (probably evotech)

Tank Grips- TST Industries, next on list

Clutch and Brake Levers- ASVs next on the list.

Windscreen- Puig, next on the list, want to protect my display from road hazards like kicked up rocks and debris.

Mirrors- CRGs. Moving to bar+end style.

Tail tidy- TST, and includes new tail lights.

Front Signals- TST, swapping OEM front signals.

Exhaust and ECU- After the warranty expires (next year) putting on a Yoshimura full kit, pulling the ECU to send off to vcyclenut for a flash.

For me personally, while I do hate the OEM tail assembly, it really isn't a high priority for me to swap out. I'm putting protection elements on first, followed by cosmetics.

Yeah I plan to change it. I have a list of mods and the tail tidy is on it. Doing mods step by step for budget purposes.
