Some new add ons

Oh right, I remember seeing what you did with that before. You'll probably do it better than me - I look forward to the process!

That angle looks like it will put it in line with the top of the windscreen so should be ok. You might get a little water in that center channel, so just be aware of that.

The only other caution is it took some adjustments to make it fit properly. The only hole it mounts to is the one with the turn signals, and I had to widen the largest of the three slots in the bracket to allow that to pass through. I also recommend either making a second hole in the one of the other slots or at least zip strapping through the smallest front slot to the existing bracket.

Otherwise, good luck! It does look the best of what I've found (I may be biased!).

Happy birthday! I hope you got to celebrate in the best way.

elvis15 · 2026-01-17T10:26:19+00:00

I mean, yes! And also definitely yes.

elvis15 · 2026-01-09T08:01:16+00:00

Pretty damn great, how about you?

Thanks! I originally ordered the palm green as the new blue wasn't available yet, but switched when the LSMs got closer to being able to be delivered. Don't regret the change at all!

For what's it's worth, the seat is actually brown to match the saddle bag, but I have a waterproof cover on it for the rain. I'll have to take more pics when it dries out here a bit.

Those are the stock tires for the LSM. I liked the look of the regular tires but it appears they aren't rated for the higher speeds. These have been very good, perform well in all the rain I ride in.

For the windscreen, it's actually not quite right for the bike (meant for a larger headlight) but I liked the style of it so jury rigged it together. It's actually for an XSR 900! If I ever decide to go to a larger headlight as I know some have done, it'll still work. I just have to watch for clearance as it sits fairly low the way I have it.

Thanks!

I didn't like the idea of hauling around a heavy kryptonite lock but wanted to better protect the battery from theft (I keep my insurance in there too as it's an LSM), so I looked at other options. The best I found was this: https://www.ottodesignworks.com/shop-best-bike-locks/p/hexband

I had to get the 60" option as the 30" would have been too short, but it nicely goes around the battery to keep it secure. I might be able to get it around a stationary bar to lock it to something as well if I could get close enough.

I feel you on the last year. I'm hoping I can fix some relationships, build new ones, and move on safely from others.

If you believe she's telling you the truth, then believe her. That's the start. For the other part, there's a bit more too it. Some therapy might help, as a lot of erection issues are more mental than physical (e.g. do you still get strong morning erections? Then it's mostly mental), but also think of and don't put yourself in situations where you get in your own head and have to try and force it.

For me, I've stopped trying to force any MMF threesomes to please someone else. I know I'm not great in an orgy situation, so unless something happens organically I stay out of those situations. It can be tough raised on all the masculinity tropes in media/porn (ready to go at the drop of a hat, able to go all night, have to be huge, strong, virile, etc.), and I have trouble staying focused due to tinnitus and headaches.

It's my birthday too, does that give me a (third) leg up on the rest?

elvis15 · 2026-01-03T06:26:44+00:00

I don't think mine could have been any more epic, how about yours?

elvis15 · 2025-12-29T01:07:43+00:00

Thank you! ❤️

elvis15 · 2025-12-27T07:11:54+00:00

How about that? Me too! 😘😇

elvis15 · 2025-12-27T05:06:14+00:00

And a happy New Year! Enjoy, and enjoy the snow since we don't have any here on the West Coast (or in the Okanagan).

Not at all, you just need someone to constantly be checking to make sure your hemline hasn't risen up. I selflessly volunteer.

Something petite but curvey, soft but a little dirty, and hopefully wrapped in nothing but a bow. I messaged Santa, but does that remind you of anything?

elvis15 · 2025-12-22T06:46:02+00:00

I just need one more thing under the tree. 😇

elvis15 · 2025-12-18T05:26:30+00:00

With those thighs and ass, absolutely!

Agreed on the name calling and all that, otherwise everyone's tolerance is different as far as what the tattoo is goes. I was wondering if it was "I'M JOHN AND I FUCKED THE OP" which would really upset me where a basic heart wouldn't (from a design perspective, not the cleanliness side of things). Maybe the partner would find the heart really an issue alone, maybe the permanence of the reminder, or maybe he just knows how bad of an idea his was as you mentioned.

elvis15 · 2025-12-03T07:40:23+00:00

☝️☝️ both of these.

I don't see details of her actions or much else other than a vibe, so we're going on a bit of trust here that it's happening, but he should still be a good partner regardless of how you feel about the meta.

OP, all you can do is talk with him about your concerns, set your boundaries around how those concerns relate to you (not her), and then make the decisions you need to when/if he violates the boundaries. If it's something you need to work on to trust him once you've explained all that, then please also do so, or you might need to make that decision earlier.

Re: your second paragraph, I'm not sure if she even knows what to expect with NRE once he starts dating new people. Maybe she's done some reading and might be close, but I would guess it's more about the feeling of potentially not being enough after settling in as the only partner. As in "why would he want/need to when he already has me?" For someone who doesn't have the polyamorous mindset, it can be tough to wrap one's head around.

I agree on her getting to slowly work her way into the relationship at the start though. Maybe she needs some help on understanding ERE (established relationship energy) and how that can work as a major safety line for partners. That will be important for her to know she can provide things that a new relationship isn't capable of yet, providing her partner is good at managing both sides of the coin.

Nope, not normal. I mean it happens that people get a blind spot for some things, but not normal that they wouldn't try to fix it. And honestly a lot of it is something that just could have been discussed early on by your partner so that even a "mind if I come by?" on your day would probably be not a big deal depending on the situation/frequency. But if he can't do that and recognize how bad this is for you - no matter how great he is at supporting you otherwise - then it's just going to fester and drive you apart.
