Just purchased a set of these to replace the PAR36 lights in the light bar. With changing all my other lights to LEDs, I should have enough power to fire these full time. 3200 Lumens - each! Not just looking to 'SEE' deer on the side of the road - looking to 'VAPORIZE' deer on the side of the road. http://www.rigidindustries.com/led-lighting/62010 Will report back once received and installed.

Interesting. I haven't seen a RDL with the step down 'Goldwing' type seat back. My RDL doesn't have that. However, if you ever intend to try for another Iron Butt run, you will LOVE the RDL. RR

Another thing to use with these small orifices is a small guitar string. They also work on the small carburetor holes. RR

What seat is that? I don't recognize it. RR

Barnett makes heavy duty springs for their clutch kit. Standard springs are what are supplied normally. Upgraded to the HD versions a couple of years ago after the standards started slipping. No slip since. RR

This, unfortunately won't work with a phone or the CB as there is no way to get the helmet microphone connected through to the mic input. Otherwise, for streaming music from a bluetooth enabled smartphone/iPod, looks great. RR

If you lived closer, I have a Vulcan parts bike I would give you. It would have all the components needed to fix this. Oh well. Good luck. RR

EBC HH 'nuff said. RR

I would have a different shop rebalance the tire. These guys aren't very confidence inspiring. RR

The PWC instructions were done on Pacific time. You are on the east coast and need to compensate a couple of hours. Other than that, the other info on here is more helpful. (I did mine in neutral) RR

The issue may be as simple as the screws coming loose on the gas cap. IIRC there are two screws on the bottom that need to be tight or the locking mechanism doesn't work well. RR

No, the BR cable does not allow you to hear the GPS and the radio at the same time. There is no way to listen to the bike's AM/FM radio and hear the GPS in a wired system. There may be a way to do it using Bluetooth though. RR

For opening the bottles of 'Black Death'. RR

Yes, '99 and newer are compatible. Mine went out at about 80k miles although it didn't leave me stranded. One of the pinion bearings was going out and the additional noise made me know to change it out. Replaced it with a left over from a trike conversion. Going strong at 140k. I do, however, have a spare for when/if the current final drive goes out at 200k miles or so. RR

An update on the KLR. My son put a new battery in it, added some gas, and it fired right up. Shifted up and down through the gears, and the brakes stopped it like they should. Too good to be true. Next week's challenge - title and plates. Everything appears to be in order, just can't for the life of me figure out the catch as to why this was only $500. RR

Only solution Then: Then: Just to be sure. RR

If coolant is leaking into the oil, the oil will look like a chocolate milkshake. Very distinctive. RR

Look at the API Donut. You do not want an oil that says "Energy Conserving" or "Resource Conserving" in the lower ring. You want it to look like this: RR

It would be less expensive, and much less hassle, to install a replacement motor. RR

Check the sidestand switch. It may need a cleaning. RR

Stickers, stickers, and more stickers. Show it's been ridden! Looking good Puc. RR

House of Honda / Yamaha should be able to get it next day. Part number is 90338-11152-00. I believe they are about $5 each. With the age of your bike, I suggest buying 4 and replacing them all. RR

It is no longer winter - oil threads are banned until November. RR

One recommendation I have, lightly coat the axle with anti-seize before putting it back together. Makes removing it much easier next time. Don't get it on the threads. RR

Different bike then. The one I was looking at was blonde. RR
