- HELP!!! DAMN Gremlins... I had a similar problem (blowing fuses) after I replaced all my halogen headlight bulbs with (cheap, eBay) xenon bulbs. Every time I switched on the high beams the headlight fuse would blow. With the left high beam bulb…
- 6th Gen Rebuild Project I installed a few small parts that came in the mail today, including the left-side black side plastic body panel that covers the battery, some spacers for the rear shock preload adjuster, and the small bolts (road…

- 6th Gen Rebuild Project I had a great weekend working on the bike; got lots accomplished. I replaced both of the passenger foot peg holders with eBay units. The right one was missing, and the left one was gold in color, rather than silver, for…

- 6th Gen Rebuild Project Looking for input here... I appear to have the "green wire on the blue connector" configuration, which has been a topic of discussion in other topics. Should I do the extra-ground-wire procedure that I read about, or on…
- 6th Gen Rebuild Project Here's another "before" picture, from above. Lots of small stuff that needs attention... triple clamp, left handlebar, turn signal switch, clutch master cylinder cover... I have most of these parts on order already,…

- 6th Gen Rebuild Project Here's the bike as I bought it... (now seeing if I can attach a photo...) Hmm, can I not upload a photo directly to this post? The only choice I can see is linking to a URL. Hmm, more study needed...
