    Audiovox Rostra Cruise Control on 2009 AE

    I guess winter is ending soon so I better get the cc installed. I did a slight mod to a second winshield adjust switch and mounted it in the YCCS housing.

    Audiovox Rostra Cruise Control on 2009 AE

    With winter here in MN, I thought I would add a CC to my 2009 AE. I did a slight mod to my throttle bodies so I had a little more room than what most are doing. You can see the new throttle stop that you would normally drill and put a screw in it. I used a 6MM brake line and bent it around as...

    Going to the Dark Side

    I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I thought I would add another option for those who want to save money on tires but don't want to use a car tire. I now understand how this forum is when someone tries to help others so I will be moving on. And for those who are thinking of...

    Going to the Dark Side

    And as I said earlier "I'm adding another viewpoint for those looking for cheap tires"

    Going to the Dark Side

    And maybe you need to look at what is considered a take-off. 90% center tread and 30-40% tread. After 4-5 heat cycles, the tire hardens. Go run what you want. I'll run what I want. I'm adding another viewpoint for those looking for cheap tires. WTF, paper thin. Think about what you sound like

    Going to the Dark Side

    When I go from a track like BIR that will add excessive wear in one spot of the tire and then go out for practice at another track, I feel it and adjust. That's maybe 1/8" max step in the tire doing that. Then again, maybe all the national/ world road racers are idiots and should be using a car...

    Going to the Dark Side

    Guess for me, I will take anyone through the corners on or off the track with a 'take-off' with worn sides vs a car tire. Isn't the car tire thing to save money on buying tires? Just saying the take-offs are cheap/ free.

    Going to the Dark Side

    Maybe it was said but with 124 pages of posts, I'm not going to read all posts. Why not go to the local road race and get for free (or maybe $20.00) all the race tire take-offs? The sides are worn and the center is mostly un-touched. After a few heat cycles of racing, the compound hardens and...

    Drilling Steering Stem Nut

    Don't assume loosening this or that did the trick. A couple of bucks at your hardware store for a piece of glass and put it on your fork tubes. You will know if it's correct or not. This won't be the last time you will question your fork alignment.

    Easy Way To Add Coolant

    It's a Yamaha not a Harley. Shouldn't have to add any liquids :lol:

    Drilling Steering Stem Nut

    Your fork tubes won't be parallel. The stop is on the lower clamp and you are torqueing against the upper clamp. With the torque on the stem nut, the upper and lower clamps will twist. If you want to check, tighten against the stop. I have a piece of glass 4"x 10"x .25 thick and I put the glass...

    Drilling Steering Stem Nut

    My steering stem is about .100" below the steering stem nut. Are you adding a very thin nut to the underside or do other models have more room?

    Drilling Steering Stem Nut

    I removed the nut, chucked in a lathe, drilled/ tapped to 6 x 1.0mm and reinstalled nut. I machined my GPS mount to have a square drive (for tightening) and tapped the center to the same 6mm. I added locktite to the 6mm stud, screwed it in until it touched the triple clamp stem, then screwed my...

    Heated Liner

    About 6 years ago, I rode to Aerostich, bought their jacket, liner and electric vest. I don't want to say anything bad but I returned the electric vest and liner and gave away (yes for free) the jacket. I didn't know if the heated liner was on or off on a cold day. I bought an Eclipse heated...

    Looking for Fuse Block

    I ordered a Fuzeblock. The Eastern Beaver set-up gives you only two un-switched circuts. Fuzeblock gives me the option to change back and forth as I want. The best selling feature is that if the relay fails, I move the fuse from switched to un-switched and finish my ride with no problems. Both...

    Corbin Smuggler on Raven Black '08

    Forgot to ask, how much did it cost? Does it fit with the OEM seat?

    Thanks. I guess I will be talking to the dealership soon.

    Looking for Fuse Block

    Exactly what I'm looking for. Anyone using the built-in relay version? Thanks for finding.
