What Did You Do to Your RX3 Today?

Today was shop day with the bike. I backed off the preload on the Progressive Suspension shock, now it's just finger tight against the spring. Next, took off the mask covering the indicator lights on the dash...that has the lights so darn dim. I also trimmed the plastic housing on the right 'wing' where the USB outlet lives. Now I have much better access to one of the windshield mount bolts. Finally, switched out the 12V cigarette lighter outlet for a Powerlet one. The Powerlet unit is a smaller diameter so I got to spend some quality time with the lathe, machining a pair of adapters. This was also a good time to coat the electrical connections with DeOxit. Tomorrow I'll measure the sag at the rear. I'll also fab up a mount for my Garmin GPS. All this is in prep for a trip to Horizon's Unlimited in Appomattox, Virginia next weekend. I bet I'll have the only Zong there!

You've been a busy guy, Peter.......but where are the pictures!

And I'm sure the folks here would like a report on the Horizons Unlimited gathering, too.
