Yes, about to become my full-time home.

Any good ideas for putting something inbetween the pad and seat to add a little seat height? I'm trying to think of something that wouldn't slide around a bunch and would add like an inch or two

I'd try this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DCVWIRG

I admit that I'm quite interested in that lifestyle. The hard part for me would be no shop.

How did you mount the canister. I can't see any holes that line up in the area of the picture.

I forgot to update this when I drained the (factory) motor oil out of the forks and put 170ml (or was it 180ml, I forgot) of Maxima 10w fork oil in each of them. They firmed up nicely and no longer bottom out. Had I know spud recommend Mobile 1 ATF, I probably would have used it instead:

I was just going to ask where to find a brake light switch and the one on the hawk is a cheap POS and mine is now totally broke. Thanks for the link!!

If you don't need one right away, China is a good option.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Hydrauli...NTyI-e&vxp=mtr

Yes, if you don't mind the wait, you can get them for $6.56 less (basically 1/2 price) from China.

How hard was it to wire up the rear brake banjo pressure switch?
