A PM sent with some items I'm looking for.

I appreciate your posts here, especially how you're upgrading the bikes wiring. I haven't attempted going to the LED headlights yet because of the different reflector issue, so I'm curious to see how your project turns out. I've mounted a thin 9" wide LED light bar just beneath my headlight which do...

As I've posted earlier, I changed out my Austone after 35K miles,close but still not at, the wear bars! One of the main reasons I went to the Austone, instead of a regular CT, was the six ply rating and the stiffer sidewalls. I think that has a huge bearing on what your results are. Because I am con...

First you'd have to make molds of the front and back. Then lay up the parts, trim them and join them together. Sand, prime and paint. Matching the color isn't difficult, there are a number of places to get the right color in a spray can. It could be a fun project, but I doubt it would be cost effect...

I'm sure it works well, but the ongoing costs are making me look at other options.

Although stated that it's simple, the simple truth is that it's an 'old wives tale' that the crown of the road causes the wear. Although, to some minds, it seems logical, it simply is not true. It has more to do with rake, trail, and geometry.

I haven't found the need to add rear speakers in my '93 Aspencade, but I did change the fronts to these. They sound great and have more than enough power for me.

Removing the tires and bearings can be a job, but having the wheels powder coated is well worth the hassle. The finish is amazing and it stays that way, with very little maintenance.

If he's the "typical Harley rider", he spent the next five hours shining it up after driving two blocks to get get beer!

I had the same problem on my '93 with low miles. after going through the suspension upgrades, I found I'd still scrape the front of my boots. I learned to slow down a bit and enjoy the plush ride. It's a Goldwing-not a sport bike.

I used a bulb similar to Wing admins, but 30 watt . I also connected the plug to the lights so that they are on all of the time (check How-To). I figure anything I can do to increase my visibility to keep cagers from turning or pulling out in front of me has to help.

I've been retired for 8 (I went out early)years now. I've done more miles in the last six years, than the previous forty combined. May you have a happy and long retirement!

If you didn't have an appointment to have the work done, you'll be squeezed in"when they get around tuit".

That is awesome! Nice work.

That's what the factory did with the Valkyrie.

The reason I went for the Austone was the fact that although it was a radial, it has stiff sidewalls and carries a superior load rating. Most people I know of, that run the Austone, run around 48# pressure. On your tire, too low a pressure will cause it too "cave or belly in" in the middle slightly,...

If anyone gets to or near Alabama, the Barber Motorcycle Museum is a must see. Plan on staying most of the day, if you like motorcycles and scooters, and well worth the effort to get there.

Mount those blades on the bottom and they could cut grass to help cut the cost!

Not to be a total jerk, but you really should do your research BEFORE buying stuff!

That's a bummer and I feel for you. I know it doesn't help much, but at least it was only stuff, and stuff can be replaced. Hopefully your insurance will help to recoup most of your losses.

I posted similarly when I did the timing belts on my '93. It doesn't take any special tools or talents-if you can read and follow directions as posted on this site- anyone can do it, and in less than a few hours.

Knowing how well graphite works, I have always used it on my bike chains, cables, and anything else that needed an occasional lube. It's available as a spray, a paste, liquid, even a sort of tape. It can be messy, in any form, if you're not careful.

It's way too soon. There's still plenty of good riding days left.Even if you're not a 'rounder(year round rider) like I am.

Here's where I get mine. Great service and good pricing:https://tirebalancebeads.com/buy-beads?olsPage=products

Do a search on the site. You'll find there are a number of different ways to brace the shifter rod, even for the non machinists. Most are extremely low cost alternatives to buying one. Before tackling any of your "winter projects", read through the "how to" section on this site. They are the best on...
