  3. Front Preload Tool 16 Nov 2016 20:51 I do have a 6th Gen in my garage, and just this past weekend picked up a white 8th Gen. For my 6th Gen, when I had Jamie at DMR rebuild the forks, I had him replace the fork caps so I could have rebound adjustment.…

  7. HELP!!!! Timesert thread repair kit 19 Mar 2012 17:42 I ordered some timeserts from Pendergrass Tool a few years ago. Their prices didn't seem to have as much markup as others, and you can even call the owner if you need help/advice. http://www.pendergra....com/index.html

  9. June 2011 California Pacific Coast Tour 2 Jun 2011 04:44 I forgot to add...when we get to Mill Valley on Day 1 and decide that NorCal is "FUBAR" due to the weather, then we can always go inland and hit some of the Sierra Mountain passes. It would throw a wrench into the plan…

  14. I screwed up 26 Apr 2011 16:09 Switchblade And double check and make sure you did not pull the wrong wire to the fuse block. I forgot to add...the power to the horn also supplies power to many other circuits, some of which route to the meter panel.…
  15. I screwed up 26 Apr 2011 15:37 I'm not sure why you wired the Stebel horn directly to the Fuzeblock, as it can draw up to 18 or so amps at full draw. And the Stebel should be wired so that the stock horn energizes the relay that came with the horn,…

  21. Urethra, I found it!!! 19 Apr 2011 22:20 blkcruzer So when I find this connection on mine, I should probably take all 14 grounds, and add a 15th wire. Solder all 15 together and take lucky wire #15 and ground it to a freshly scuffed area on the chassis? It…

  26. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 14 Apr 2011 15:44 Misspent Youth NVR2L8 It's always a good idea to make sure the splice did not create any resistance in the wire, especially if the wire handles a lot of current or voltage. What's a good way to make this check?…

  43. Givi top rack and trunk with OEM side cases? 31 Mar 2010 23:44 You definitely can use a SW-Motech Alu-Rack and Givi V46 with the OEM sidecases. Thanks for that info. I'm assuming other Givi topcases would work as well? I don't want/need one as big as the V46. I really don't think…

  46. Lane Splitting W/luggage 14 Jul 2009 22:21 The sidecases are great, but I really only use them when I'm on a tour for more than 2 days. For anything shorter I find that my expandable tank bag and Givi V46 topcase holds enough for 2 or so days. Going the Givi…
  47. Lane Splitting W/luggage 14 Jul 2009 21:47 Well, the mirror assumption is a great theory. but since a VFR's mirrors are usually halfway up where a typical car window starts, you still have to remember most car bodies are basically vertical whereas the upper body…
  48. Lane Splitting W/luggage 14 Jul 2009 20:58 I normally commute with just my topcase, but there have been times when I split lanes with the sidecases. The stock Honda sidecases do fit just a tad more snugly to the bike than the standard Givi's and the newer Givi…
