Well the tach is bach (heh) on and riding is back in full swing!

Needed a new rear tire so I ordered myself a BT-46, which is the new replacement for the BT-45 we all know and love.

When removing the old tire I accidentally ripped out the valve stem from the tube... I guess it rotted over the past couple years. On closer inspection I think I used WAY too much soapy water when mounting last time as there was still a ton of soap bubbles under the tire. I'll use little to none this time. So I had to drive my car to work today... But picking up a new tube on the way home will fix all this!

Tonight will be a true, mount, and balance.

Got that BT-46 mounted on Tuesday and had my first ride on it last night. I love the feeling of a fresh tire! Turning is so much easier than a something squared off.

Installed an LED headlight bulb. It is this one on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/DZG-Motorcycle-Headlight-Conversion-Warranty-1/dp/B07BTTFN1S/

So far so good. I can actually see a bright spot on the road now, even in daylight.

How focused is it at night?

How focused is it at night?

Don't know yet. Haven't had a night ride since. It is a Hella reflector, so good quality. I don't often ride at night due to my own vision issues, but I can certainly see a brighter beam pattern compared to the stock H4.
