Reasonable pricing. At that price I dont know why someone would by a similar type camera like I was looking at from Tiger Direct that I had not heard of before. The price was like $89 or something.

I fixed the link in my post

I have not noticed a degrade ride, but under recomendation of a couple fellow riders on another board Im on I did change the oil. I went a bit heavier with,the 10w also. Still run about 4lb air but the feel is less bumpy if that makes any sense.

So has anyone have experience with these type CREE LED bulbs[. They go in a standard type housing for an H3 bulb. I have ajure housings that originally came with 35w halogens. I swapped them for some LED jobs but they are not like these. The ones I have currently make very little usable light at night. the ones I have linked the seller tells me are 1000 lum

Motorcycle Alarm and/or Caliper Lock ... What To Get
djh3 replied to SilvrT's topic in General Tech Talk
I kind of chuckle when I see the "chain it up" idea. Here is why. I was in Homestead Miami for the NASCAR race a couple years back. We were at a smaller Comfort Inn I think it was. so the overhang by front desk has these 4 poles. This group of 4 or so guys come in, check in and go to dinner. when we came back from dinner these guys were by the pool having a cold drink and I noticed this one nice Street Glide with a huge ol log chain around the bike (I think thru the wheel) and around this corroded aluminum pole that if you kicked it would probably give way. so the moral of the story is, look at the weakest link in your security. -
I bought a Sync Pro off a member here. He had built the home made job with the clear tubing and ATF I think is what he used. I cleaned it up (the fluid init was about all dried up) and I use 2 stroke oil in it. works good for me. The mercury jobs worked really well and were smooth, but due to the mercury in them you have to be careful when you rev the bike and also some states will not allow you to buy or ship the chemical to their states.

I had read an article in a VA news letter or VFW news letter somewhere in the last year or so about the last few of these brave men. I do remember them saying he was not in good health. Awesome job they did using their Native skills and up bringing to win the war. Now if we can figure out some way to get the traitor out of country and let them go live in the sand box over there like they think is so great, we will be all set.

CATpower, if the LEO gave you a hassle over reflectors on the side of your motorcycle he must have had either a really slow day or a bad one.

My problem with the Insurance company "tracking device" is they can use it against you. you tell them you drive X amount in this car and when you are renewing the next year and they ask what you drive and how much they can look it up. same with the bike. Say you tell them you ride 6k a year. Then when you do 16K they want to jack your rates all up. some of the devices plug into the newer cars on board port. It can give such info as speed, time of day, length of trips and driving tendencies. IE hard braking, jerking from one lane to the next and that sort of thing. all done off the ECM and BCM and gyros. ain't technology great? -
I would say replace the valve core. for $1 or so its worth a try. If the shock is in deed bad the Hagon runs just under $500 shipped to your door custom built. I think actually its $489 or something. I just put one in a fellows bike a month or so ago.

Mine came from the trailer supply place you use Steve. So far excellent USA made equipment from them.

I have a Krypronite lock. And one of these handy jobs. So far I have not jumped on the scoot and forgot I had the lock on it. but I had a system. I would come out from the airport terminal. uncover the bike, pack cover, unlock bike disc, load suitcase then gear up. -
Where can I get paint to match my bike?
djh3 replied to 2006 RSTD's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Unfortunately for motorcycles its a monopoly. Colorite is the ONLY supplier. And they are not cheap. found this place. Depending on how much you need to paint. A spray bomb is $60.You might try this place. -
Nope We will be in Savannah Ga that weekend. But I think I Have been across that bridge last year on our way back from Toronto.

Before Steve started making his or I knew he made his anyways I use like just a piece of 1/4" ID alum tube from home depot. I polished it up with chrome polish and installed some longer screws as the one picture shows. Steves plug makes it a whole bunch easier even if you buy the light bar elsewhere, I bet he can make you a plug and you can connect the wires up. Much better then the scotch lock deals. yuck

I made some LED running lights for mine. I took the reflectors off the mounts on the rear bag rail and installed them there. I also made the same modification in the front. the rears are wired to be running and turn lights while the fronts I just left as running lights. May not bee as much light as you are talking about though. (the brite strips on the bags and under the trunk are actually the reflective stripes on the bike and tag)

See if this thread helps you out. Other wise I'm going to have to go out and start looking mine over to figure it out. I can tell you I had to put mine on a lift and remove the front wheel to get it to lower into the triple tree. Then it went to far and I had to bring them back out. I could not get it to go with the front wheel on the forks. I can only guess because you have to move them (forks) exactly the same amount at the same time or else it sort of wedges it self. Good luck and let us know what you find out.

I told you so. LOL

Replacing the low fuel indicator light...
djh3 replied to Birdman2010's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I am not completly sure will have to look in service manual. But even if you have to split the fairing thats only like 30 min or so. 10 min maybe to change the,bulb and 30 min to put back together. 1.5 tops. Soumds like they want you to pay for their learning experience. If nobody jumps in Ill look it up and let you know. Mine does not come on straight away full bright. It starts dim and the longer I go the brighter it get say in 10 min or so. -
Just fix it. It cant be as rough looking as donvito's was. It looked like he had sponsorship from 3m.

Vito my friend, enjoy the cruise. you dont do those very often (well atleast I dont) and its a special occasion. We seem to try to have meet and eats semi-regular here in Fl. You can catch up on the next one.
