  1. Powdercoating Rims: Dangerous? 25 May 2013 17:33 That question comes up a lot on all kinds of car and bike forums - here is one answer. 'A word of caution regarding the powder coating of aluminum. Forged alloy wheels are desirable because they are known to be both…
  2. Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? 13 Apr 2013 04:32 I used to think I was quick til I saw these Frenchies go at it. First 5 mins are boring but look out when they get out of town, [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/_r-1t6D5E6U?feature=oembed] Rider skill will make up…
  3. What Weight Fork Oil? 10 Apr 2013 18:07 Hi, The SS-8 is a 10 weight oil. Plus is a great oil. I did this mod a few years back but used Racetech .95 kg springs. I am not familiar with Traxxion but you must read their instructions.Their heights and levels may…
  4. The Only Bullfight on U.S. Soil 7 Jun 2012 16:42 Great stuff. What kind of camera do you have?
  5. Fork upgrade with Race Tech's gold valves. Impressions??? 30 May 2012 17:02 Gotta agree with enzed. Even though I went with street use for Racetechs at 1.0kgs they are way too stiff for street use. I weigh 220lbs. I would go the next rate down next time. A serious speeds and perfectly smooth…
  6. Then and Now Images 15 Feb 2012 04:33 That was really great. Thanks.
  7. Brake Pad Wear 16 Aug 2011 23:24 There is a relief "notch" cut out of the center of the pad. If you can't see this then look for the backing plate where the pad material is fixed to and give yourself about 2 mm of pad material. Usually they will squeal…
  8. Non K&N or OEM air filter options? 23 Jul 2011 15:37 Ditto on the EMGO. Hard to tell the difference from the OEM.
  9. Wiring up power source for GPS/cell phone charger 25 Jun 2011 15:25 Where do the wires come out - at the bottom of the stem? This would interfere with my front end stand if so.
  10. What coolant do you use? 9 Jun 2011 23:38 +1 on the Honda Car premix. It's the same price as prestone so why not?
  11. Honda bags or no 25 May 2011 04:52 You already have usable bags so why spend the extra - makes no sense to me. It's LUGGAGE! Later when you are flush with cash you can spring for shiny new factory ones if you can't live without them.
  12. Fork oil Question 18 Apr 2011 04:24 What would you guys recommend for a 230 lbs mostly sport touring guy, springs and oil weight? Thanks
  13. MotoGP coming to Texas! 13 Apr 2011 16:48 I thought tracks had to be inspected by the riders reps to ensure safety prior to the circuit being awarded a MotoGP? Glad to see a long term contract though, you gotta wonder how long Indy and Laguna will last as hosts.
  14. Over Charging 4th Gen - RR/Stator OK -- WTF? 18 Mar 2011 21:27 [image: View Post]TylerDurden, on 18 March 2011 - 03:41 PM, said: [image: View Post]BaileyRock, on 18 March 2011 - 03:29 PM, said: Bad R/R as mentioned! Or bad lead wire to the battery which tells the R/R to stop…
  15. Bazzaz needs a VFR1200 for product development 11 Feb 2011 16:22 So, if you can lend him your DCT for about a week, I'm sure he'd be grateful and you'll have a bigger smile on your face in the end. Mine is not a DCT. [/quote] Gratefull? Gotta be worth at least a free Bazzaz ECM!
  16. Another Inverted Fork Conversion (6th Gen) 30 Oct 2010 03:38 Bike looks great. Do you want to sell your old front wheel? I'm looking for one.
