Default Work on the bike - mods & other projects

So that we don't have to corrupt other threads I thought I'd start this general catch-all "work on the bike" thread.

Yep, I understand the pain of having to move around to work. In a week or so I'll be putting new tires on the Monster. I'll take two stands to the shop to lift the bike. Then ride the bike into town. Wheels off and use the car to transport them to the tire shop then car back to my shop. Install the wheels. Ride back back home. Get a ride back to shop. Load stands into car and car back to home. I could do it all at home I suppose but it's safer to leave the bike up in the air at work. No kids running wild around bike at the shop like they would be at home.
