I did it because I wanted to and it is my bike. I posted the picture so you all could see. Like I said, I have converted everything but the headlights to LED and put in some running lights that were voted 44 to 2 as likeable or cool.

Naugles?!?! Let me think about it...

So, you are advocating road rage highway shootings on the forum...? Welcome back Bust.

As for the front blinkers, I posted a good one on that one too. Something that came to mind just a couple of days ago is that every watt saved by switching to LED's goes into the voltage regulator as heat. Not much for tail or blinker but switching headlights to LED would be dumping another...

Part of the problem with tire life is riding habits and road surface. I always get over 10,000 now because of my job. I ride 114 miles every day at the same time, usually, close to the limit, all but 4 miles is slab. Less than 5% is twisty, fun riding anymore. Others ride on 2 lane twisties...

The bike on the left is the one wIth LED's. A picture is worth a thousand words, but it takes a million times the memory...

OK, here is a picture of the high quality LED's that I mentioned earlier. I will post which is which. I think it is VERY hard to tell.

Lift the tank. Disconnect fuel pump. Crank till fires. Plug back in. Start normally.

It is all wrapped up in tape. take the tape off and you will see the whole plug, cut the wire and run it to a switch you get the best of both worlds. <a href="https://s1028.photobucket.com/user/supertankerm60a3/media/DSCF8019.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

That is why I want the quick install system. On during the wet season, off during the dry.

Rode it to work today. HOLY COW the 'targeting computer' windshield is WAY too small for 35 degree 56 mile ride to work without extra insulation.

I would recommend, after safely securing the bike in an upright postion, remove the spring and check the relaxed center stand for play and looseness. I am thinking you will find a significant amount. Time for a new one, or just ignore it for a year or so.

Took off the V-Stream riot shield and installed the extra short original '02 targeting computer. Didn't like the shape pulled the tuning block, didn't like the angle installed some improvised spacers (nuts) under the support frame, didn't change it enough, put the tuning block back in.

I converted all my tail lights. the tail/brake are these. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/tail-brake-turn/1157-led-bulb-dual-intensity-45-smd-led-tower-/814/ I like the 360 direction of them, they use the standard reflectors and are as bright as regular lamps. I don't like those...

I am interested in the yellow Cortech. The Army makes me wear 'high visibility' stuff. I will try to ride up. I live in Pismo.

Yes. Just clean and monitor.

I had that happen too. It was during a VERY high speed run. I wiped it down and in 65,000 miles, it has never happened again. There is a very good chance this is just excess lube that was flung off though centrifugal force. Pull the wheel, wipe it down, if it happens again, have the seal...

18 VOLTS!?!?! No wonder it was puking. You didn't say that the first time, or I did not see it in your post.

I cut the whole thing off in such a way that it gets put back on every winter. Only needs to move 6 bolts, 10 if you count installing the angles plate holder, 12 if you count the LED plate lights too. It gets taken off every summer and put away. I like it, it puts a lot more 'sport'...

Today, I took the rear fender back off and reinstalled my hooligan license plate holder. It is, depending on the computer model, supposed to rain later this week. Either one inch or only 2 thousandths of an inch. I DARE it... However, I am leaving the V-Stream on for another week before...
