Well I've put a lot of work into the K over the winter and spring...
Tomorrow the wife and I meet up with some friends to ride down to Brown County Indiana for a few days of twisty, back road riding...
Cannot wait to see how she does...
Pics upon return....

Everyone who has ever ridden on the pillion portion on the stock seat, including myself, have said it was the most painful ride EVAR!
My tail bone hurt an hour later after just 45 mins of interstate.
Have fun, but get her an AirHawk or something to cushion the pain.

So slip the chain and I'm off again,

I love riding pillion with Steve. I just close my eyes and go with the flow as he tears up Thornton Gap. I can't do that when piloting and the feeling of relaxation and movemont cannot be experienced any other way.
As for the K, I was on the back of my bike while Doc Holaday rode us to pick up his R80.
