It is safe to charge your battery at 2 amps, the rule of thumb says 10% of battery capacity is safe for wet cell and AGM batteries.

Hap2 , do you own a measuring tape? It's the only way to be sure you get the correct size for your needs.

So sorry to hear you are selling your ride, it was a pleasure to meet you. If theres anything you need dont hesitate to ask, I am living closer to you now than before.

With no shielding on the rotors( too save weight no doubt) what could possibly go wrong?

First thing is you have to take the seat off.........

dont just check the timing belts, replace them. a broken belt will bend valves

I know this tire change is fairly popular to do, but doesn't it severely decrease the handling on twisties? It may be fine for casual cruising but can't handle as well as a good MC tire for spirited riding. Anyone regret making the switch? The Austone tire is more than capable of any spirited ridin...

It was attached to the front of the bike with the screws supplied, and after seeing how much it stuck out on both sides, it was immediately removed and placed back in the original packaging. these are your words and the very definition of used. You bolted it on, that means it fit. you just didnt li...

nice job, you are going to love the extra amps.

on the display rack in the store, I consider them to be a trendy superstitious piece of nonsense that servers no actual purpose.If you must have one, it is generally put low near the front of the bike

+1 on the shifter pivot, new seal at the same time and you will think you have a new bike even with the heal toe shifter. this is the design that the factory should have done since day one

Doesn't the Neon coil not require the resistor? I can see from the Neon coil that Todd made that it doesn't have a resistor.

no resistor needed, simply wire it up and bolt it on, ask Little beaver how well it works.

The 2 inch pulley you see in the pics came from another alternator salvaged from a wrecking yard. check with an alternator repair shop to see what they can supply you with, or have one cut to your specs at a machine shop. I spent alot of hours in the wrecking yard looking for parts that will work fo...

The widest you can fit in the swing arm is a 195 CT, there is no more room for anything wider. I have been running a 195-55-16 for a couple of years now, it works well.

You're leaving us Nick? Well that just won't do! I will grant you a sabbatical for now. This won't stop me room dropping in to see you and your beautiful wife when I'm in the area again , and of course I always have an open door for you two when you travel out west. Hope to see you soon.

I guess the problems never end when you're running a big website, do they WA? As the old expression goes, "You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din." I can't imagine how you manage it, but we ALL appreciate all the hard work you put into keeping the world's best 'Wing site alive & well! I second th...

Most can't believe I have a12volt fridge, 12volt electric blankets, on demand hot water for showers or doing the dishes. Memory foam mattress that sleeps two and charging ports for all forms of electronics. 110 volt shore power and 12 deep cycle battery for roughing it. Led setup lights to push the...

This is where I got mine......pick your colour. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11422

The Austone taxi tire is a 175R-16,. Here's a link to a data base that shows what tires others are running on what bikes. Just scroll down till you find the bike you want to know about . http://darkside.nwff.info/?p=tires

The Austone Taxi tire is a very good choice for your first Darkside experience. You can order it from Universal Tire. It is slightly taller than the stock MC tire and will fit with zero issues other than maybe having to use a zip tie to pull the inner fender plastic forward a tad. The taller tire wi...

I had the same issue with my 86 Interstate, turned out to be the pulse generators. Use the search feature to find out how to test yours. It's a fairly easy fix

You have got this, good luck anyways

Ya same for me. Use the trip meter all the time. At 300 km I start thinking about getting fuel. At 350 km I stop thinking and get fuel at the next available station. I'd hate for my wife to have to push this thing any distance with me steering it. Bwahahahaha, now that's funny. Thanks for the visua...

Woo Hoooooo another Canuck joins the best Wing site on the net. Welcome from the Kootenays

The 1100 doesn't start making real power till after 3000 rpm. Shifting early just lugs the engine ,let it spin. The redline is up at 8000 and will running all day at this rpm, now I am not saying you should keep it redlined all the time but the engine engine will do it. Let it spin, you will be surp...
