Plan for the weekend I get to take the tank off *again* looks like I somehow managed to put a pretty good twist in the line to the fuel filter. I have access to disconnect it without taking the tank off since the filter is fully visible under the tank on the right side of the bike but it would likely result in a sizeable gas spill while I mess with it. *sigh*

Finally got the new handlebars(x2) installed with the hand guards, looks much better. Put on some cushy grips too, stock ones are rock hard.

Pulled the tank, *finally* remembered to tighten all the bolts underneath, and corrected the fuel line to the fuel filter.

I also spent time this weekend installing the Detours Blinker Package
Here's a photo of my dirty hands - and there were no "spare" parts when I was done, so huzzah!

it's just such a cramped space under there - I should have paid more attention when I took the tank off the first time to see if there was a way they had shoehorned it in from the factory...alas, that was many tank removals ago.

I think you speak for many of us. I had the tank off again this weekend to re-bend the float arm....and of course, just shoveled it all back in and crossed my fingers. It ran and I didn't smell anything burning, so it passed the test.

Rough country 2" spots

$80. Install was straightforward using csc mounts. Wired it to the handlebar accessory switch. Looks good and very bright. Each light 1440 lumens, 18 watts. 30 degree spot. Have not ridden at night yet but they are much brighter than the stock headlight. Should work well for day visibility too.

For what it is worth after having ridden my RX3 without the mask over the instrument lights at the Hell's Canyon Rally and Iron Butt 1000 ride I have no reason to ever put the mask back in. I can see all the lights in broad daylight with my helmet sun screen down. The only time I was a little confused what a blinking light was telling me was on the Iron Butt when it warned me to look for gas. Easily figured out because the fuel gage blinks right along with the warning light. Blinker, high beam, oil light all easily seen now all the time and at night the high bean wasn't a distraction cause I could see better with the low beam light and rarely used high beam on the trips, rj

What'd I do to my RX3 today...while putting a phone mount on the handlebar, I dropped the attachment screw. It never hit the ground, just disappeared.

What'd RojoGrande do to my RX3 today...he took the both side covers and tank off, looking for the screw that I dropped. Somehow it managed to seat itself under the tank.

Similar thing happened to me last weekend while I changed the shock out. One of the nuts disappeared for three days and reappeared in a bare spot in the middle of the garage that I had already swept clean.

I had one of the little screws that holds the side plastic panels on vaporize before my eyes, POOF. Found it 4 hours later inside the air box on top of the air cleaner.
