I got several things done across the rainy Christmas holiday... back to work tomorrow...

Earlier in the week I built a jack adapter and installed a Pirelli Angel GT (spec a) rear tire...



Today I installed something I've had since September: cowl lights...

That single sided swing arm is really starting to grow on me.

No rotors, no calipers, no axles... just a handful of lug nuts  cooldude ...

Building the jack adapter and learning how to safely get it jacked up and
stabilized took some time, but that is behind me now...

I used to hate the rear tire change on the 1500 but the 1800 is like a dream come true. Takes the time it actually should rather than a project. The front although similar to the 1500 also seems easier. I don't know how you did it from Sept till now to install I couldn't go that long.
