Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and replies. I'm probably going with the black matte THID's. I really lke the idea of the ballast being on the unit. Given my semi-urban environment, this seems like the best way to pick up some extra light with nominal wattage draw. Of course, I can...

Ok guys, I've done all the mods I can think of other than suspension(autocom,daylong seat, helibars w/riser, screen,givi, cruise control, gps, radar detector, etc.). I really like the idea of HID lights. I tried reading throught the various threads and came away thoroughly confused. Several...

Thanks for the quick replies. Makes sense. 37 sets it, then loosen and final torque to 13.

Service manual is a little confusing. In adjusting the steering head "lower ring nut", it talks about an initial tightening torque of 37 ft-lbs and a final tightening torque of 13 ft-lbs (both for lower ring nut-only mention of torque for upper ring nut is "finger tight". Shouldn't this be...

Can anyone give me an updated address to order these pegs. The last one I have,<[email protected]> is bouncing as undeliverable. Thanks, Tom Hanaway

Duane, I'm sure you'll see it but paypal was sent today. Tom Hanaway

Thanks to all for the thoughts and comments. I hadn't even considered velour. I can see where it makes sense and would be more comfortable in high heat (south florida), I just wished I liked the looks. Still leaning towards vinyl with large rectangles. By the way, I've had both Corbin and Rick...

OK, Order for the Russell Day Long Seat is placed, pictures sent, second set of seats bought and sent so I can keep riding. I initially thought all leather since I was treating myself. Money differecnce isn't that important to me at this level. I sort of assumed that leather would feel more...

Haven't seen one in person so take this for what it's worth but Motorcycle Consumer News (which I tend to trust for its no advertising policy), really liked it in a recent review of general carry bags. I'm giving some serious thought to the Medium size. Tom Hanaway

Mine arrived from Alex yesterday. Exactly as promised with no logo. Used Paypal. Easy transaction. Thanks, Tom Hanaway

I just switched from the 2610 to the 2730. The 2730 gives me xm radio and mp3 player in a waterproof format. Before, my xm and mp3 were subject to being shorted out by rain. Plus, much less cluttered. Best place to buy-Costco by internet. Unlimited time return policy. Wow. Tom H.

Mr. BikeEffects. Probably. However, I've gotten my answer from Skyway and am comfortable with his response. Tom

Ian, Please let me know what's going on with my order. I paid for the blue color sliders by Paypal on June 27. Still haven't heard anything about shipping. Thanks, Tom Hanaway

Matt, Took a look at your plane site. Awesome. I'm still in the thinking stage about building a plane (been there for three years-I think I've decided that that's a retirement project-and even then a quick build kit). Anyhow, did you find vacuum check valves w/ 3/16" connector barbs on both...

Ok-I just didn't know if the push/pull action of the servo required it to be bracketed in so it didn't move. As it turns out, I used the two bolts that hold the front seat lock to run a bracket to the servo. May not be necessary but that servo sure ain't gonna move :^) Tom

Where are you putting your servo and how are you attaching it? With the abs, there doesn't seem to be any room to place it under the right side panel. The ony two spots I can see are outside near the rear wheel or under the seat. Where are you placing it (other than the obvious x rated...

Tony, thanks for the response. I realize now from looking at your first picture that you've got the clutchless version with associated electonics. One follow up question.... No electronic or engine noise interference??? So standard audio mini plug wiring is ok? No electronic filters or such...

Tony, Nice work. I'm doing a similar install with a garmin 2730 (for gps audio, xm and audio books) and escort with autocom. Garmin and escort are on handlebar mounts (techmount and gadgetguy). My question relates to autocom placement and wiring. 1.Did you locate autocom under seat or...

I hadn't planned to get into this but I had horrible experiences with Rick Mayer. Suzuki Vstrom 1000. He didn't bother to return emails or phone calls over a two week period. When I finally got ahold of him by tracking down his home phone #, he stated that he was "just too busy" to respond to...
