    Hidden high mileage

    I had my instrument cluster replaced due to the paint blistering under the instrument face plate screws. This was covered either under my extended warranty or the factory for some other reason. Mileage was approx. 25,000 at that time.

    Final Drive Swap: 6th gear solution?

    I really did not notice any MPG difference with the final gear ratio change. I just wanted to slightly lower revs when buzzing along the slabs for long distances. On my 05 the speedo reading is sensed off a transmission gear hence the need for the Speed Healer to bring the read out to the...

    Final Drive Swap: 6th gear solution?

    I kept my stock ratio 'just because' I guess. I've had the new setup I bought from John and luv it. I do quite a bit of long distance riding and lots on the slabs and it works out well. Used a 'speed healer' to recalibrate the speedo so all I well on that end as well.

    Thoughts on the Corbin Smuggler Trunk ?

    The 'fine tuning' involved two things. First I partially collapsed the underside of the rear tube that the Smuggler has to fit under to gain some clearance. That was a fairly simple task with a ball pein hammer. Nothing drastic, just a bit in the area that there is a bit of interference...

    Thoughts on the Corbin Smuggler Trunk ?

    I use the Smuggler with my Givi 357 mount just fine. Did a little 'fine tuning' to get it to fit with the rack but it works great. Great farkle in my mind.

    New Bluetooth TPMS Coming Out...

    I wonder if they will offer the 2-sensor model for bikes that also includes the separate monitor device similar to what is available for cars?

    Antigravity Micro-Start XP-1

    I am VERY skeptical this thing works unless it's got some magic involved! The size of thise connecting wires could never flow 200 amps with out major voltage drop. Just doesn't pass the 'smell test' in my mind!
