I believe you can put the DB501s in both front and back in 2001-2005 bikes

The 651's and 501's are the way to go!

I changed as well; used to have a Tulsa Tall, now I look over a more normal windshield. Same issues with rain.

Actually, the redesign starting with 2006 requires dB651's in the front....dB501's still fit the rear

That's what I used on my '83, but the REAL cruise control (on my '03) works SO much better!

Check it out and you decide. Find a local chapter and visit there meeting, you can visit first without joining. Doug What he said!

does it matter if you a a tpms? Dunno - mine is an '03 GL1800 without TPMS, but , as long as the beads can pass thru, it shouldn't be a problem. BTW, in regards to slooooow filling, just fill up the tube and give it a small shot of air - works super quick! I think there is a video of this procedure...

I installed the SPEEDBLEEDERS on the clutch and the brakes and used their catch bag to collect the old fluid, and that's the way to go. Soooooooo simple to do and saves a ton of time later on too, it's a one-person operation. I, also, just finished installing the SPPEDBLEEDERS ($68.75 shipped from ...

I guess I belong to a different GWRRA than a lot of the previous posters...we had 24 Chapter members (KY-G) camping out for the whole week during Wing Ding...we had a great time. The party at the Space Center was free and quite a surprise! The city went out of their way to make us feel at home. I w...

I installed the Progressive springs (bought used for $90)up front along with the All Balls tapered bearing kit and disabled the ADV. I also added a SuperBrace (used for $50) On the rear, I have the Progressive spring (bought used for $60) You will see a WIDE range of opinions and prices. I tried to...
