    Daytime running lights

    Since I put the HID projectors, I had to remove the headlight modulator, so I wanted to find a way to make myself more conspicuous since most cars now run daylight running lights and HID projectors even during the day. I found some high brightness LEDs on eBay that come in a nice metal...

    Gear Indicator

    Just received this gear indicator, have not installed it yet. It is advertised for the gen 2, but I do not see why it would not work with the gen 1. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121325993344?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It is much cheaper than the GIPro, yet seems...

I do not want to replace the cable now, but I am concerned that without the boot, water could get in the...

    I have been unable to put the bike on the center stand the "conventional" way. The gas tank is not even full. I am 210 lbs and almost 6 feet, I should be able to do that... I almost dropped it. I was getting frustrated, then I happen to see the ramps I use to check things under the car and...

    rust spots on fork
