What did you do to your bike today?

[3Phase]

I have the forks from that wrecked XJ11 I bought. The triple tree, stanchions, and dial-a-ride selector rods are bent but the sliders and the air fittings are still in pristine condition.

The bike only had 18K on it when Aaron got hit from behind, the fork seals are (were ) still holding air and none of the oil has leaked so... I might be able to get away with flushing them out, then sliding them onto the stanchions of my good XJ.

I hit a minor snag on the XJ front forks. They're pretty clean and the oil wasn't too bad but I bought the wrong seals. I have a set of 3J6 seals for a Special instead of 10M seals for the XJ.

3J6-23145-00-00 is 37mm x 48mm x 10.5mm
10M-23145-00-00 is 37mm x 50mm x 11mm

Drop back five and punt!

Imagine the 'punt' to be the better option opposed to oil not stayin' where it's supposed to.

Coleman Maddog saddle bags from Amazon just showed up at my door, UPS. I'm hanging them on Dark Horse and like them so far.
I looked up your Coleman seat pad, 16x10x3" at Walmart and found an ATV pad that looks like it's made the same, 24x14", does not give height but bigger than the Coleman. Made by Northeast Harbor sold by KapscoMoto through Walmart $15. Went and ordered a somewhat matching fork bag while I was at it.
I'm going to cut my sheepskin seat cover I had on my K100LT. It will go over the ATV pad that goes over the front strap of the bags. The bags front strap crosses over the seat right where the back of my butt perch is on the seat.

Huh, $50 Coleman Maddog bags might be better than $100 Tourmaster bags.

The Coleman ATV pad was the only one I found at Walmart, the one I bought and still have was discontinued. I don't really give a rat's patootie about the length of the pad but the width is important and I hope I didn't give Bonz a bum deer.

If I need a longer pad for a passenger, I'd probably get one of the covers made for the rear of an ATV and sling it on there. Heck, I might try one for myself, forget the passenger! I'd like a seat cushion, backrest, dual cup holders and gadget bags too.

Dang nabbit, my local Walmart in Monument Colorado didn't have the ATV seat protector when I went over tonight. I'll check online and run into Colorado Springs to the next day or so and see if they have them there.

Gene, the rubber looks great! Did you score some actual 3H5 footrest covers or are they from a different model?

I switched over to XJ11 footpegs on my '80G (3H5) because the original rubber was toasted and there were no more replacements.

I got them on eBay. Material feels good and they look good. I used a little WD and they slipped right on. I still see them on there for $27.50 free shipping.

Maybe I missed it, what is the brand/ name of the seat pad?

Wally World gots lots of them Howard. Actually, Scott got the one you see in pic while here at my place three yrs. back, IIRC. In fact, I had one on my ST and one on my Venturer which has the Corbin seat.

Thanks guys, will run over to Wally World.

I've worn out a dozen of those. Wouldn't leave home without it.

They are made to fit ATVs but work well on the bike. Doesn't take long for them to conform to the seat.

I have the straps under the seat zip tied to the frame and just in buckle them to remove the seat. Pretty sure the straps there at from the first one, I just buckle on a new one when the old one wears out.
