Typically the R and S had the chrome side covers while the C had them painted. I don't quite know about the last few years models and what they had. In normal fashion, everyone that had the painted...

38K on the X right now, checked the valves every 10k... still no adjustment needed. Maybe the 4th time is the trick?

Hell, that's what this board is all about! It's helped me out a time or two, just wanna pay it forward. Now get her ready, and get out for a ride!

This could very well and most likely be the root cause of the problem. Like Philscbx said, they are only good for underhood temporary/emergency uses. Even then I'd rather strip wires, twist, and...

How did you tap into the wires? Did you actually cut and solder with heat shrink, crimp connectors with heat shrink, solder connectors with heat shrink, or use the scotch locks that most stuff comes...

:agree:

Whether you believe it's 1 gal, .8 gal, or 1.16 gal reserve. I'd go by the fuel mileage your particular bike is getting that day as your range on reserve. Usually when I fill up soon...

:agree: Best bang for the buck. Had both of my seats modified 6 years ago. Best investment I've ever done. Rode 2up on countless 300-600 mile weekend rides, 1,000 mile round trip to sturgis (plus...

If you do a little searching there have been some people that made it a part of the bike. They took apart the remote and soldered in wires where the button connects. Then they used a momentary...

I'd like to know what diameter bars you used.

Oh this will definitely be my next bike. Don't think I'll part with the X though, too customized and sentimental to sell her now.
I just want to know if the pinstripe is painted on or decaled. ...

With a stuck float, fuel will fill the bowl completely until it comes out the vent on the carb before getting into the air filter. Happened twice with some tiny welding slag blocking the float...

First off, you should never have to use to choke on these bikes. There's a high chance that it will foul the plugs. I'd go ahead and check and clean them since you've already had it full choke.

That's pretty freaking sweet there

I feel your pain. I'm in Omaha, which hasn't been hit as bad as Kansas or Mizzou, but still snow on the ground is snow on the ground. I haven't seen my baby in months (at the parents garage for...

It seems like no matter what happens on these bikes, it's always the same simple checks to do first, and usually solves the problem. So for all the newer guys or first time "WTF was that" guys and...

If you do a search, I believe there is a thread about removing the 03' fuel pump on the 1300. It's not really necessary and a pretty cheap mod if memory serves me correct. As for the coolant leak,...

It is nuts looking back at the old pictures. I look back at mine and just think, "Damn that looks boring"

Still got the billboard and in-transits on her...

Yep, I usually wait till a good rain comes through. Construction gravel and idiots were the reason I laid mine down 5 years ago

I'll wait through 2 cycles where the green arrow should light up. If not, then **** it I'm gone. If a cop decides to pull me over then so be it.

I'd go with BadX. Best bang for your buck. I had the memory foam mod done 5 years and 26k miles ago, and still going strong. Been on rides from Omaha to Minnesota, Sturgis, and Las Vegas. Each...

This may be a bit of reiteration, but if it was my bike I would start at the green plugs. The vibration and wind at that speed might open up a loose connection on them that you're not seeing at low...

Hopefully it will give you some ideas for modding your own bike or going for a full on build. I would not recommend doing it like I did, and wreck it first...

I know when I did my Cobra Speedster Longs, it came with a new bracket. But I guess it would be a good idea to just throw the stock one in a junk/spare parts drawer. If you already scrapped it,...
