Well, looks like the battery change in the rear TPMS worked fine, although I'm getting some interesting tire pressure from it. Interesting in that it looks like it's reading the correct air pressure according to my gage. I checked both tires cold (about 80 degrees outside) and they were at 42 pounds. After riding a bit the front read 47 or so and the rear about 44 which is what I would expect it to be after it heated up. I'm thinking that maybe battery voltage affects the pressure reading cause the battery I took out was new in Aug 07 and started complaining about the cold the next winter. I don't know, just appears interesting.
I think I also resolved my right handle bar vibration quite a bit, enough so that I didn't notice it so much while riding. I had put on an Area P but the vibrations were pronounced with it so I went back to the stocker. Decided to go back and added some rubber washers to where it mounts to the rear of the bike and it by golly gee it seems better. I'm happy.
Checked the drive shaft and everything was ok, molyed up the splines and buttoned it back up.
Have a new '55 on the rear (first time for that) and while I haven't had much twisty riding it does feel different going into what corners I've ridden. Can't wait to try it out for real.
I bled the rear brakes and they feel a bit better, not that they were bad before but I know they're there and working for sure.
So, all in all, not too bad.
