Costco, eh? It's amazing what they're good for. But in typical Costco style, it looks like they are no longer available. Dude, your bike looks sharp loaded for bear!
Well you know I'd love to feel the difference myself too but like a lot of performance mods on a lot of things we do, there's a psychological component to the improvement. And that influence increases as the investment in the project increases. But simply getting out and riding is my biggest psychological improvement. Not to mention physical - I need the exercise too. Can't wait for it to be warm enough to go up and enjoy the mountaintop trails!
Jeremy, I must say, that tower is looking very impressive! :eek1 The mental images of relentless long distance hard riding are getting me excited! Are you going to fab up a fiberglass cover to protect the front of it? I hope so... gotta look sexy, too... Hey, if Spud can't getcha a couple, or someone else near you on the left coast, hit me up.
Had to get one of these when I had the XR400. I still had to grind the outside down to get it in the recess on the 400. I'd 2nd the OEM version
Drain the carb into a clear glass and look for water in the fuel. Looks like a little glob rolling around on the bottom.
Red, Dash is looking great! Don't forget to put a hole in there so that you can access the reset button too. I have access to one of these fancy little tag making machines at work. I made an indicator plate for mine and I would be happy to help you with one. We have a bunch of different plastic colors and also real thin anodized aluminum. PM me if you want to commission one of those. You are inspiring me to get off my ass and get my bars remounted onto that top clamp I got from you last fall.
Red, Have you settled on an ignition switch yet? The cheap chinese one I put in died soon after I installed it and I temporaried a semi-hidden toggle switch into the rats nest of wires behind my headlight. But I plan to replace it with an actual switch when I redo my bar setup. Just curious what switch you ended up going with.
Thank you, it's a Cee Bailey's that I adapted for my TT headlight and to cover my Vapor. It helped a lot at highway speed, I forgot how much it helped until I took it off and rode with out it. If I had to do it again I might get a clear one or at least one that I could see through for when I am really moving and tuck down. -Barron
That's good to know! I was planning to use the same type as you!:eek1 I guess I will keep looking! I have been looking at marine/boat ignition switches.
Motion Pro generally makes great quality tools and this socket is no exception, but it is heavy. Not the best choice if you're looking for something to carry on the bike. I have a Craftsman 18mm spark plug socket that fits and is lighter than the MoPro... I think the OEM Honda socket is even lighter.
Key Switches... Nice quality, lightweight. Need to call to make sure you get the right one though. I have one on an "L", but it's on when you can remove the key and versa vice. Need to get it traded out for the right one http://sicassracing.com/store/products/switches/key_switches?zenid=0b80807feb9b3a18d0508420ce3b4ef1
It`s also not a POS like most aftermarket..:huh I CAN HOOK YOU UP WITH A FREE AUTOSTART,,,NO KEY NEEDED B
