I changed the cabin air filter. Much easier the second time around. The thing was only in for 11 months and was pretty cruddy.

Yeah, according to the manual, it’s supposed to be changed every 20,000 miles. From what I’m seeing, that might be too long. And that is with no off road driving. With amount of dust kicked up during group rides, changing the filter after and outing might be a thing. On the plus side, the filter is definitely doing it’s job.

Cut about 8 inches out of the mount. Just slapped the plate on the rim with some wire ties for now. Looks like it's gonna be simple to whip up a bracket for the plate. Just figuring out a way to make it pop off simple and quick. Thinking about doing a mount and using some 50lb drawer catches so I can just pop it off when changing tire.

New cabin air filter. Best price was on Walmart.com, with tax and free shipping a little under $9.

Hit 105 mph on an empty stretch of highway on my way home from work. Was still pulling strong but I figured it was going to hit the limiter any second and I was running out of straight road.

Curious, distance of trip and average speed?

CMOS
Distance was 320 miles. Average speed was 65 to 70 mph. The trip back average dropped by 2 miles per gallon because of wind and rain from tropical storm.

I’ve found my mpg counter to be off by about 1 mpg. Still, even at 24.2, that isn’t bad.
