Hey all,
Just joined, been lurking for awhile' Live in Hardwood Lands just around Milford area anyone knows the area.
Been riding for 15 years and 60 now. Started off on a 750 TZ, went to a 750 Shadow, then a 1500 Classic, from there to a wing, from there to a 1500 Nomad and now my current an 09 Voyager.
Think Ill keep this one, woulda kept the wing but being a short a$$ msde it uncomfortable when in parking lots and stopping in hollows on the road.
I just bought a lowering kit from Rick so here's hoping it'll give me that little bit extra I need. I plan on taking pics during the install so we'll se how it goes...Mike (mrmikey)

Thanks all, friendly bunch for sure :-). Not much going on with the ride yet, still too cold, too much salt on the roads.
First two things I have to do is clean the clutch push rod, it was sticking last of the season, common problem from what I've read.
Just ordered a lowering link kit from Rick so that'll be a project as well. I'll try to remember to document it with pics, key word 'try' LOL.
Figuring I might as well flush the rear brake fluid while I got the bags off as well as do a real good cleaning.
Ride safe....Mike

Welcome from Central Iowa!! If you are going to flush the rear brake fluid might as well do the fronts right?

Already did them last spring, I'll do 'em again tho when I do the rear along with the clutch fluid. Least that way I know the complete system is done...M
