    Need NEW Levers??

    I bought a set of long levers from Fire Dragon Bros when they were still on eBay. When I decided to get a set of shorties Fire Dragon Bros were no longer around. I bought a set from the2wheels and couldn't tell a manufacturing difference between the two, they look like they came out of the same...

    Trail Braking how its done.

    I was surprised to see him stay on the front brake going into the dirt. Probably has that sneaky ABS on.

    GIpro X-type gear indicator custom install....

    Let's say I'm crusing along and I come up on some traffic. I don't downshift so the engine is lugging in a higher gear than I would normally have it in for the speed I'm going. I'm behind them for a while when an unexpected small gap opens up and I've got a chance to safely pass, but I don't...

    Missing front gas tank bolt (gen 1)

    For 2003-2005 it's a M8 X 1.25 - 12mm screw. 2001 and 2002 ran a different size screw, not sure of the size. If you have a 2003-2005 you could swipe a bolt that mounts the left side passenger peg bracket to the frame, it's a little long but it will fit and has the same kind of flange as the...

    dropped my baby

    Dropping the bike sucks! I did a slow speed drop last spring, I was in a hurry to get the bike turned around on the side of the hill that is our driveway and went just a little too far. Thankfully all I did was take a chunk of paint out of the case guard. Seeing that nick reminds me to take my...

    Finding Engine & Frame Numbers

    ^^^^ Same place on a Gen I The VIN is stamped into the steering neck of the frame. Wasn't aware the frame had a different number than the VIN :confused0024: but then I never needed to know what it was.
