Trip pics. After a dozen or so states, CA sticker shock took a few minutes to get over it

Well, made it through 2 weeks of Sturgis and 2 whole states MN and WI in rain to get to Chicago. After a couple of days touristing headed out to cover every mile of Rt 66 back to the Left Coast. Vetter proved to be everything good ever said and 7 or so thousand miles later, doing more this trip.

I might be a little biased, but Kawazilla got me through a week of Sturgis and three weeks on Route 66 and home again to WA.

I lost one on my cross country trip a couple of months ago. eBay had me fixed up in three days order to install.

Found a whole signal housing with the lens on eBay that was delivered yesterday.

Sturgis-DONE RT 66 - DONE PCH- next

Still scooting down the Mother Road and making a list of parts that fell off .

Sturgis was a blast! However, continuing east to Chicago, the road was rough enough to loosen and lose my left hand fairing turn signal lens. Does anyone have a spare for sale or know of one somewhere? I still have a couple thousand miles left on this trip and could really use one.

Last year didn’t happen. Leaving Saturday AM for Sturgis and Chicago to pick up Route 66 and the PCH for the trip back. (Hoping the heat wave breaks by the end of August)

I found barrel keyed lock sets on Amazon and bought a set of 6 for $20 or so. It beats the heck out of having a total of 4 different keys plus bike ignition

Sorry about all the pic! I tried to attach only one

10 lbs each bag and misc. load in the trunk . 100 miles, nothing broke, nothing fell off . There seemed to be resistance to locking the l/h bag onto the rack but after a few miles bungeed in place it was locked up just fine. My 6600 mile Sturgis/ Rt 66 is looking doable

Wahoo! DISREGARD request! Turns out half of the hardware in the bag for this job didn’t even apply. The half that remained was missing about half the mounting bolts and assorted electrical connections. Rack is on, turn blinkers are working, the bags go on in the AM and this weekend will be...

14 days away from leaving for Sturgis and cross country tour aboard my “new” 1982 KZ1000E. It’s taken NUMEROUS visits to mechanics and locksmiths but it’s time to install the rack and bags back on the bike. I am very confused about the whole process and would love some tips/advice/instructions...

I found lock sets that work on Amazon! Tubular keys, sets of four and more. " Tubular Cam Lock with 7/8...1 1/4" Cam and Offset Cam"
