Going to be doing the seat mod with the ball and detent pins this weekend, just wondering if anyone wanted to get theres done at the same time and wanted to come over and get it done then go for a little East Texas ride perhaps?  I live out east of Dallas.  Also got some bags to install sometime this weekend as well.

I believe he's referring to this one.  Seat Pin Mod on the left hand side in Tech Write ups.   

Everyone needs to do this IMO.

That is the mod I was referring to...easier to access the battery from what I have been told.

You still have to remove the battery cover. Use 10 gauge wire to hook up a fuse block under the seat. Then run 12 or 14 gauge wire from it to a waterproof lighter socket. Get a heavy-duty plug and you can get a jump or jump someone without removing the seat at all. I even made some 10 gauge jumper cables, 10 feet long, just for the bikes; they're lightweight and compact and long enough to jump your bike from another bike or from a cage.

The seat pin mod takes all of 2 minutes.

I suggest having someone stand there with a shop vac with a crevice tool attached so that it vacuums the shavings as you drill and they don't fall down on the bike.

The aluminum you're drilling through is super soft. A sharp bit goes through it like a knife through hot butter.

I bought this pins this weekend but have yet to do the drilling...guess I'm kinda scared that I might screw it up somehow...it'll get done sooner or later I guess!

You ever get this done?   

[txvtxrider]

Nope...I'm a chicken...got other problems with the bike now though, if it's not one thing, it's another.

If it's the decel popping/backfiring you are talking about, you might consider getting the desmog done.  It iwll take care of 90% of the pop.

[txvtxrider]

what is the desmog?

go to the bareass choppers link above, and go to tech mods. That'll  give you the pair valve/ desmog link.
