  1. She has some new bits. 7 Sep 2016 15:25 Up in Bountiful. Good to know another VFR fan in Utah!
  2. She has some new bits. 6 Sep 2016 18:04 Based on the amount of light these are giving me, I could have gone for the smaller assemblies and their inherent losses. I ordered these off off of amazon knowing they would have to be broken down and re-engineered.…
  3. She has some new bits. 6 Sep 2016 14:06 I should have taken pics as I made it. This is the best shot I could get right now. The first pic shows the assembly and the modified projectors. I had to make new ones because the original ones were not watertight. The…
  4. She has some new bits. 6 Sep 2016 13:56 The bigger project. The only thing I did not make were the convex mirrors and the halo LEDs. Clear anodized alu., orange silicone spacer modified fasteners,hollowed tapered stalk, and fully adjustable swing points.…
  5. She has some new bits. 6 Sep 2016 13:49 I machined new bar ends. The bars are solid 6061 T6 AL. black anodized. [image: IMAG0013.jpg]
  6. She has some new bits. 6 Sep 2016 13:48 When I get off the bike, I wanted a place to put the ear plugs. It can handle four plugs. It was cheap, aluminum and acrylic. The lid rotates with a off axis swing point. It is spring loaded and snaps shut. It does what…
  7. She has some new bits. 6 Sep 2016 13:45 I had to cover the hole, Black delrin with some stainless hardware. [image: IMAG0011.jpg]
  8. She has some new bits. 6 Sep 2016 13:43 I changed the frankenbolt. Stainless with a blue delrin insert. What more can I say? [image: IMAG0010.jpg]
  9. She has some new bits. 6 Sep 2016 13:41 It gets a bit busy here. I bought a titanium yoke nut, just because. The mirrors are blind spot mirrors, they work, but getting used to them and working on tweaking the location. The triple clamps hopefully explain…
  10. She has some new bits. 6 Sep 2016 13:32 I thought I would just continue this thread and illustrate the changes. Sorry about the dirty bike, it gets used, I am just busy. Here is the WIlbers reservoir mount. Half of the aluminum parts are unanodized, I will be…
  11. She has some new bits. 5 Sep 2016 02:29 I did some machining and some tweaking. I ordered some HID bixenons/projectors off of amazon. I saved the reflectors, and re-machined entirely new housings. I cut the back off of the Honda headlight and mounted them on…
  12. A New Angle On Clipons 29 Aug 2014 13:49 Ultimate, I had the TC bright dipped anodized, and the second is going to be gloss black anodized. I did install the first for a fit check, and will have to remove a small amount of material where it rests above the…
  13. A New Angle On Clipons 28 Aug 2014 20:59 I have had a need for a while now regarding the positioning of my hands on the bars. I wanted a more fluid way of fine tuning where the bars should set. Here is the right side, unanodized, and partially tested for…
  14. Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen 2 Feb 2014 13:18 ZZ, I don't think it shortens their life at all. FIber optics use solid state lasers switching millions of times to transmits all of this info we are using right now. Diodes don't suffer from damage switching on and off…
  15. Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen 1 Feb 2014 04:22 ZZ's previous assumption regarding LEDs inability to turn on and off is incorrect. It is possible that whatever is in the black box (current limiting resistor?) might, but the resistor alone would not be a problem. I…
  16. tire change with staintune 7 May 2012 03:23 I do it all the time. I don't remove the pipe, or the hanger bolts. It is a tilt and spin move with attention paid to not chipping the paint on the inner part of the rim.
  17. Fairing bobbin, now with a video, just so wow 16 Aug 2010 20:50 The fairing bobbin, rather simple, but thought I would post a video, for those who give a darn.

  19. Passenger tank grab bar 16 Jun 2010 20:50 [image: View Post]rufussrgnt, on 16 June 2010 - 03:45 PM, said: Well, after a crash, you'd know where to look for your testicles. Seriously, looks like a good idea to me. Maybe it also comes with an invitation to the…
  20. 5th Gen HID Modification 16 Jun 2010 20:48 [image: View Post]micahm, on 16 June 2010 - 03:24 PM, said: Howdy, Someone had a great project thread about replacing the 5th gen headlights with a HID kit upg that was very detailed and great! I can't find it for the…
  21. Passenger tank grab bar 16 Jun 2010 20:23 I was going over one of my favorite catalogs based out of Germany. I love the euro approach to the the gear. Updated models and things rarely seen over here. When I get over there, I do check out Louis or Polo stores.…
  22. Fan Switch Temperature Options 8 Jun 2010 17:21 [image: View Post]coderighter, on 26 August 2009 - 08:00 PM, said: The fan has a problem, sort of. Honda decided that it would be better that the fan pull cold air in from the outside, which is the opposite of air…
  23. Vfr Triple Clamp Project 22 Jul 2008 17:11 I love titanium, but would for my project have used steel in the clamping area, stainless or a chromed stee. That being that under failure the ti bolt would fracture, and the steel would stretch. I wouldn't worry about…
  24. Vfr Triple Clamp Project 22 Jul 2008 15:05 As for the bolts, could you have bought the stainless socket heads extra long and not fully threaded and then single point threaded them or used a die on a lathe? Basically cut off the non usable threads and cut new…
