    Using a lift

    I'm planning on changing fork oil and possibly lubing the steering bearings this spring. My concern is more about stability when supported by a floor jack. It's probably been covered, but how much weight has to be applied to the passenger seat to lift the front wheel?

    2011 Blizzard in Wheaton

    Ice storm here in Ohio. Both of my sons and my mom are without power and the temp is dropping fast.

    Starting in Winter

    Same here. I've experienced the condensation problem (oil looks milky in site window) from repeated garage warm ups. It's ok to do it once but the next time you start it you need to ride it long enough to completely boil the moisture out of the oil. Water suspended in the oil can cause inernal...

    Vstrom hand guards

    I just finished installing the extenders. They look excellent and fit perfectly. If you run the DL handguards I would highly recommend you sign up for a pair of these.

    Driveshaft Gear Coupling

    If this works we're gonna need to get a seal driver/shim kit circulating.

    Driveshaft Gear Coupling

    I think this might work. According to the pic of the brg retainer/seal near the bottom of this page, the seal could be shimmed out to avoid the worn area.

    Driveshaft Gear Coupling

    I'll bet dollars to donuts the groove is due to wear. I've machined countless replacement shafts from samples and drawings over the decades and I've never seen a seal surface that was grooved on purpose.

    Hands Guards on '07

    The stockers weigh a little over 100g. My scale doesn't have the capacity to weigh the ss parts but I would estimate they weigh around double that.

    Hands Guards on '07

    You would need the ones for guards previously modded to fit the stock barends. The groove is bigger in diameter. Those p/n's are for DL1000 guards.

    Hands Guards on '07

    How does $35/set shipped sound? Like the post said, I have them for modded and unmodded guards.

    Hands Guards on '07

    Loosening the clutch lever perch and sliding it a little to the left worked for me. I have the grooved barends made up for previously modded hand guards. Are you using the DL1000 or DL650 guards?

    I changed my headlight bubs

    LOL I suspect if she gets wind of this your fathers day gift will be downgraded.

    Electric gloves in Central Florida...

    Anyone use the Tourmaster Synergy gloves? It seems like I'll have to shell out $250+ for a Gerbings setup and these are around $150 with built in controller and on/off switch. I guess I'll stop by the Gerbings booth at IMS and confirm exactly what I need.

    WynPro, Ram-Bone Mount, I've got BALLS

    I mounted mine to the front of the glovebox facing inward. Not the most convenient location but away from the elements. BTW, the Ram Bone is the best farkle I've installed so far. I use it for video.
