Installed ROX anti-vibration riser and the extended brake and clutch lines from Jaxon. (Thanks Jaxon ::008:
Clutch line line first then the brake line. Careful installation yielded a quick and easy install with pointers I've found here on various posts.
The 10mm flare wrench is a definitive must have to make it quick.
The extended lines make it worry free and a little trial and error on the routing around the cables made it stress free at the locks.
The line bleeding was accomplished with the tap method and after a couple or three test runs it's all drip free. Around two hours total.
Now the risers, I can see where they decided to go with the iso mounts on the 14 and up. Much better, no buzzing as it was before. My hands were tingling after the first few rides I took on the bike. So that problem is solved. The shoulder blade pinch/pain is no longer there. Standing I feel much more in command.
Well worth the $$ spent.

I took my 2012 ST in for new tires, and the #&%@ dealer tempted me with a new red 2015, and made me an offer that I couldn't refuse. I ended up trading mine, with 31,000 miles of trouble free enjoyment, on the new one. I DID save money on not having to buy tires. I was planning on upgrading at the end of the year, but Yamaha had a decent dealer incentive on the non ES that I preferred now. Ended up paying 12,200 OTD before TTL and got a decent trade in for the old black ox. Miss it some, until I get on the new one and ride. I never have traded a bike for the same model before; but the S10 is an exceptional bike, and it never entered my head to go with something different.

I've got it up on the lift for a good clean underneath. Looks like I'm need some more hero blobs. The RH one is missing altogether!

Just put mine on yesterday. I notced that on the '14, there are vibration dampners on the stock bar mounts where it connects to the triple-tree. I used the "flick the hydraulic line with your finger" method to get the bubbles out. The clutch took longer than the brake line which I thought was weird. I haven't had a chance to go for a ride yet. I've noticed that at full lock it runs into the yamaha tank bag. So I might be looking for a smaller one soon. Very happy with Jaxon's lines they definitely make it a worry free install!JV said:Installed ROX anti-vibration riser and the extended brake and clutch lines from Jaxon. (Thanks Jaxon ::008:

I took the wifey on a 2 hour ride over to Wayside, then up TX 207 to Claude. This cuts right across Palo Duro Canyon which was absolutely beautiful. Normally, its yellowish-brown vegetation amongst the sand colored dirt, but this year, with all the rain we've had, the vegetation was dark green and the dirt was a deep reddish color. We stopped at the scenic overlook and spent nearly 30 minutes just listening to the silence and looking at the surroundings. Oh yeah, the ride...it was a lot of fun. Cool when we began and pushing mid-90s when we got back home.

Snow Foam, Clay bar, polish, sealant, wax. Then I added some Homemade RAM type balls in a few places to make using the GoPro a bit easier. Then a ride for a couple of hours to pickup my son his first set of riding gear so he can come on the back. He's 8.
Oh and I painted the mirror stems as they were stone chipped and rusty.

Took my Son 8yo on his first bike ride last night. He loved it and wanted me to take him to school on it this morning, so i did. He was the talk of the yard this morning. ;D Looks like we have another convert!

That's awesome. Enjoy 'em while you can.
I've been taking my daughter on bike rides ever since she was four and now almost 15. Took her and picked her up from school many a time.

I installed Arrow headers, repacked my 2 Brothers can, changed all fluids with rotella T6 and Lucas Synthetic Gear oil, adjusted my CO to 6 and painted my side Covers with Rust-oleum truck bed coating. 13344 miles. This Pig is LOUD now.
