What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

That's as close as I come to Off-Roading as well.LOL

 

Can't you use the ones in your pic?
They will come off with a little effort.
I had to buy a new bulge a few years ago it has them on it.
I'm sure you can find them at Lowes or Home Depot.

Just take your bolt and try them out..

 

Track Days... I miss those days... But I got bit by the racing bug and it bits hard some times... spent the whole winter healing up from a little get off at Nelson Ledges in N.E.Ohio. The bike looks pretty rough in the last pic but I was able to get it back together in time to make the grid. Ran two races that day and then hung up the leathers.

 

Supercharger install underway.

 

I have ambitions of doing some amateur racing but time is running out, I’ll be 52 in September. And as for TDs (expensive as well) since Covid and the new job it just hasn’t been high priority I think I’ve done 2 in the past 2 years. Glad you are healing up, I get a lot of shit for having too nice of a looking track bike, but it’s what keeps me in “check” I don’t want to fix it.. if I do ever race I’ll probably get another 848 and just put performance mods and of course anothe r engine done by Mark at the Ducshop in Georgia ( both my current engines are printed).

 

If I was picking it back up again, I would be looking for a Suzuki SV650. Cheap buy in and lots of parts out there as well. Plus I'm pretty sure there are about 3 or 4 classes you can run them in. Racing ended up being cheaper than doing track days. Entry fee was 100 bucks or less. Then you get to run 3 practice sessions in the morning then race in the afternoon. Basically, you get more track time for about a third of the cost.


Back on topic....

I painted my running boards today and added blind spot mirrors. Found some on Amazon that fit perfectly and didn't waste any space on the mirrors themselves.

 

Ouch. Did ins send out an adjuster or just ballpark off pics?

 

Got my replacement BDS1


Wired the switch with parking backlight and backlit anytime rear cam



next on the list is stock side mirror overhaul with drl, turn signals and puddle lights

 

A 2020 SV650 is my backup commuter bike when I’m working on the Indian



Wife started learning on it before buying a Rebel for herself. Great bikes! Surprisingly stable at 130 mph, or so I hear

 

Finally found a emblem decal but man what a PITA to work with. Finally got it to look decent with very few bubbles but its still a little distorted in some areas. Looks ok….

 

link? That’s a great spot

 

Almost as cool as mine lol.....

 

Yeah yours looks good - this one is matte black background with red logo that covers the whole emblem. It was hard to work with to get it straight

 

Yeah mine is matte red and just covers the chrome part of the emblem. It covers as much as it can due to the curvature of the emblem.

 

Super easy. Pop the grille off and attach the leds, run the ground, pull one fuse and snap in the add-a-fuse. Here's the video from the man @greg8765 himself:

 

Sucks your last ride was a get off.
Same for me at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham.
Ran WERA southern for years. Trained for Sportbike Track Time and Kieth Code as well.

Back on the day…

 

Did things…

OME BP-51 and coachbuilder

 

There’s a number of “senior racing classes” with some very fast guys.

 

Awesome, thanks for the video!

 

Hey that's my nickname!

 

And those lights only fit their "pro style" grill correct?

Hi awesome I'm dad

LOL

 

I tapped into the parking lights for my custom grille LEDs.
I only wanted them on with the parking and headlights.

Installed a small inline fuse and a Deutsch connector in case I need to remove the grill.
Been fine for 5 years.





Daytime with DRLs.


Parking lights.


Headlights

 

Found some cooler weather for a bit:

 

Must be nice. Sure is hot in Tampa today. I walked outside and said "nope".

 

Nope

 

How is the video from the rear camera? Is that factory tint, im thinking it would be a bit dark. I love my front but would like a rear facing.

 

I have a Thinkware front and rear with 5%. No issues with the view during the day. I'll pull some screenshots.
