[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 207531, member: 425"] I had arrived at the 16,000 mile service after newly acquiring my blackbird. I wanted to go over everything and make sure there weren’t any hidden gremlins in my new baby. I want this bike to last me 10 years without giving me any headaches. Did some mods that I think have really cleaned up the way it looks. Jetfire’s bike is pretty damn sweet (favorite on the forum since the white one got parted out), but I really like the direction I have gone as well. It pleases me greatly. [ATTACH=full]29644[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29646[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29647[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29648[/ATTACH] Replaced the OEM brake/clutch fluid reservoir covers with bling from BentleySS. Oh my goodness… You need some of these for yourselves. [ATTACH=full]29649[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29650[/ATTACH] Replaced the clutch and brake fluid, front and rear, with DOT 4 synthetic fluid. The old fluid was dark and somewhat cloudy. These systems took much more fluid than I imagined (+12oz), but the bleeding process was much like any other ‘flawless’ brake bleeding experience I’ve had. The manual is very clear on the process of bleeding the linked braking system. Replaced all 6 brake pads with EBC HH as the old OEMs measured 1.5mm up front and 3.5mm on the rear pads. The new EBCs were just over 4.5mm of new meat. Brake discs front and rear measured negligible run-out and a thickness of 5.0mm universally. [ATTACH=full]29651[/ATTACH] Removed the aftermarket rear turn signals and replaced them with the OEM set that I really liked. Installed clear front and rear turn signal lenses and amber LED turn signals. This was a plug and play mod and I really, really love them. Installed the clear LED brake light with integrated amber turn signals. Looks extremely good and cleans up the rear end. This light is pretty bright and the turn signals really assist the amber LEDs in the OEM turn signals. [ATTACH=full]29653[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29654[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29655[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29656[/ATTACH] Installed a reverse camera setup mostly for traffic and other motorcycle observance. These could never replace rear view mirrors, but it helps with backing up the bike in tight quarters and seeing what’s directly around your rear end. Installed a voltmeter in the dash surround panel for on-the-fly observations of the charging system’s status. This voltmeter alerted me to the need to change my regulator rectifier and stator. She would charge for 4-5 miles and then couldn’t maintain static battery voltage for the remainder of the journey.
