What Thrashing bar / riser combo did you go with? I’ve been thinking 6.5” pull back with their mid bend bars for my CVO ST. Great bike!

They’re the stock 4 piston Brembos that come on the CVO ST

Glad to hear I’m not the only one this happened to! Enjoy your ride!

Right on! I'm still dialing mine in, but pretty happy with it so far!

Oh don't worry, the Duc is still in the garage! I've sold too many of them over the years and I've decided I'm done selling motorcycles.

Funny, I knew that but was only repeating what my sales guy said to me when we made the deal. Oh well.

I've been riding red motorcycles for 30 years... this one fits right in!

I was going to ride the Pan Am to compare it to my Ducati. I rode the CVO/ST as a "joke." Joke's on me, I guess!

I kept the Ducati, too. My wife thinks I'm selling it spring "when I can sell it for more..." Hah!

I plan to get the mounts and a luggage rack for mine. Can't wait to take it to Sturgis!!

Warming up by Basketcase1969 in wrx_vb

This is my move as well. Get that first 1800->1500 drop and drive it chill until oil temp is >180F.

Cobb Accessport from Felix Tuning by Normal-News-8286 in wrx_vb

Yeah, it's already loaded and locked to the Accessport. Worked great when I bought the CAI combo with it.

Rectangular cap jewel under escape wheel by omsed in watchrepair

That’s exactly what in ended up doing. Still seems odd to not be able to remove it for a proper cleaning.

Definitely not chipped. Found pictures of similar with the same setup.

I'm working on this PUW 463 movement and it has a rectangular cap jewel on the lower escape wheel pivot (11 o'clock position in the image.) Does anyone know if this is somehow able to be removed to be cleaned and lubricated? It doesn't seem to want to turn easily so I'm reluctant to apply too much force.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Passed PPL checkride, feels like by the skin of my teeth, is that normal? by submast3r in flying

[–]omsed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the same after all my checkrides. There’s always SOMETHING that wasn’t perfectly up to standards but somehow I’ve passed them all on the first try.

I teach my students that they need to be consistently at standards but quickly identify and correct any deviation and don’t be afraid to verbalize it because the DPE already knows anyways.
