Moosehead, thanks for posting those pictures. The Gen II nose is a lot more crowded than my '05 was. As for the LEO comments about knowing who has radar detectors, my police officer friends said pretty much the same thing. So..... maybe I'll reconsider this project. Thanks to all who shared...

I'm 5'5" witha 29" inseam and have no problem moving the bike around on the balls of my feet.

The LIDAR is why I am considering the laser scrambler as part of this project. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a lot of space in a Gen II fairing (at least compared to a Gen I) and that's why I was hoping someone may have torn into the fairing area above the headlights to see if...

I was hoping to put the radar receiver within the front cowl since plastic is transparent to radar. The laser receiver/scrambler would go under the cowl as that can't be concealed in order to see and scramble the laser light. Having a radar detector sitting out in the open would greatly...

I've been looking into building a concealed radar/laser detector with laser scrambling and wonder if anyone's tried it. One big issue is the available space in the Gen II's front cowl for the radar receiver. If anyone has taken it apart is there room in there for a 3.75x3.15x1.75 module...

I just bought an '08 and this looks like a good addition when I put the heated grips and other farkles on over the winter. Sign me up as well. Thanks, Chris.

Fill the tank with fresh gas and treat it with Sta-bil. Change the oil and filter and keep the battery on a tender, not a low amp charger. If possible put the bike on the centerstand with two pieces of 2x4 under the front fork tubes so no weight is on the tires. Cover and store for the winter.

I called Jennifer today and placed my order. She said she needs one more order before she can ship.

Count me in as well. Thanks for setting this up.

If I was talented enough to post pictures, that's the photo I would have used. And I wouldn't use the cardboard from the oil filter box. Not big enough, doesn't conform to the shape of the piece like foil does, and most importantly, it's not impervious to the oil soaking through to the foam.

Seriously, it is supposed to be there. A helpful tip when changing the oil filter is to remove the screw that holds that portion of the fairing so you can wrap a piece of aluminum foil around that plastic with the foam. When you unscrew the filter the foil will protect the foam from absorbing...

The hydrogen peroxide is the best way to go. The fresher the bugs, the better the fizzing and ease of removal. I make a habit of spraying the front of the bike and the helmet faceshield when I get back from each ride.

This sucks. If I wanted black, which I absolutely don't, I would have bought an '08.

The Scicilian pizza, french fries, and chocolate chip cookies that I frequently indulge in.

You can use the inner fork tube as a slide hammer (just don't get crazy). The result will be the washer under the seal will become concave. Get a new washer; it's cheap. Also search for previous threads that include Jestal's brilliant electrical PVC seal installation tool fabrication. You...

All of you complaining about the aging process can do something about it. I'm going to turn 50 next month and I ran (not jogged, but ran) 8 miles yesterday and today lifted weights which included 54 pullups, 105 crunches pulling 100 lbs. up from behind. I can run the mile in 6 minutes 27...

I was on vacation and saw the news this morning. I was so taken back by this that I didn't post right away. Like the passing of Andrew, I'm once again surprised how much I feel for the loss of someone I never personally met. Like most of us, I will miss his wit, humor, and sarcasm and how...

And by the way, I thought this was VERY funny.

That is interesting as I thought static loads did weaken spring tension. I thought it was common practice on cars with high lift cams that during long periods of storage rocker arms would be loosened or the engine would be turned every so often (while using a drill and distributor shaft to get...

I beg to differ. It's my understanding that the Gen II added a cat in each muffler for a total of four.
