  1. .......... anyone have a stock 2nd Generation RSV windshield laying around that they want to get rid of?? A friend of mine who rides a Kawasaki Nomad with an aftermarket "BatWing" style fairing is looking to acquire one for modification and installation on his bike. ken.jo@shaw.ca
  2. I have had the Big Bike/Showchrome trunk rack on my '03 for just about 5 years now.............. no problems whatsoever. I used Star washers on the top under the legs along with rubber washers. I also used the tapered washer legs that are available that keep the mounting bolts going in straight. This removes any chance of the lid cracking. ken.jo@shaw.ca
  3. ............ I have purchased several sets of tires from this outlet and every purchase has been a most positive experience. A tracking number has always been issued and the delivery has been prompt. When I take delivery, the sidewall coding indicates that I am receiving very "fresh" rubber. I have yet to find another outlet that beats their pricing on a pair of tires. Their telephone number is (520) 628-2947. ken.jo@shaw.ca
  4. I had a small accident a couple months back that resulted in a low side slide down a mountain highway. The damage to the bike is purely cosmetic and is just about reassembled with some new parts....... one of which is the oem Audio Controller that sits on the left handlebar. I ended up with 7 broken ribs, a punctured lung and a broken collar-bone that was broken so bad that it needed a 6 inch plate with 8 screws to hold it together........... there goes my summer !! Anyway .............. back to the Controller ----------- the broken one works just fine and my insurance company replaced it with a new one at a cost of $872.xx Canadian. I am looking to replace the front panel of the broken Controller to make another good one. It seems almost criminal to throw the broken one in the garbage. Anyone have a busted Controller with a good front panel they want to part with ?? ken.jo@shaw.ca
  5. ....... what you are looking for are called "Kool Kovers". They are made my MC Enterprises and come in bike specific kits or in individual sizes. I bought a set for the YAMAHA Road Star, as they vary in amount from bike to bike and the Road Star came with 83 assorted sized caps. They are chrome plated, polymor heat resistant plastic. I have had mine on for almost 5 years now and they still look like new and not one has fallen off. They are available through just about any aftermarket supplier............. even eBay. ken.jo@shaw.ca
  6. ............. I highly recommend one. Here is mine...... ken.jo@shaw.ca
  7. .......... my '03 Midnight has just over 54,000 on it with absolutley no whine whatsoever since the day I rode it off the showroom floor. ken.jo@shaw.ca
  8. ............ how about this Turbo set-up for a GL1800 'Wing ??
  9. ............... the direct fit red lenses are available from KURYAKYN now for $9.99 or less for the pair. You can also use H/D, but why ?? Anyhow.............. reach up under the rear fender and remove the two small bolts per turn signal. Access the wiring jungle in behind the licence plate and unplug the signals............. 2 wires per side. Remove the signals and reinstall the 3 wire variety. They bolt up exactly the same and the wiring is exact except for the additional function. Splice this extra wire into the running/clearance light wire that powers the tail-light. Presto-chango............... the job is done. ken.jo@shaw.ca
  10. ........... I bought a set of YAMAHA RSV front signals on eBay for cheap that are dual filament. I removed the single filament rear signals and installed the front ones on the rear. Then I acquired a set of red replacement lenses from KURYAKYN for $10 a pair. Now I have red signals to the rear as well as additional red running lights on either side of the central tail-light. I used to run the set-up from The Electrical Connection but after replacing 2 failed amber LED rings, I chucked them in the garbage. They have a life-time warranty, but after 2 failures I decided to go the dual filament signals to the rear. Works for me..................... ken.jo@shaw.ca
  11. http://www.closertowholesale.com I bought a pair of them for $32.99 at the above supplier who sells them on eBay. As stated, if you look at the rear of the helmet holders under the rubber cover, you will see a hole....... both sides have one. The lights I bought fit perfectly to these holes. All I had to do was bolt them on and connect the wiring............ one for ground, one for the running light and one for the brakelight. I bought the clear lens with red LED's, but they also sell red lens with red LED's. They are a good source for all your LED requirements. Here's a photo of my 3rd brakelight.............. ken.jo@shaw.ca
  12. ............. the 1157 has 32 cp on the high side and 3 cp on the low side. It draws 2.1 amps and .59 amps respectively. For a great improvement over this stock version, try a 2357. It has 40 cp on the high side and 3 cp on the low side. The 2357 draws only 2.2 amps on the high side. The 2357 is a great replacement for the stock 1157.......... much brighter on the high side for either turn signals or brake light. ken.jo@shaw.ca
  13. . yes., the 625 will work just fine.
  14. ............. "wuzfuzz" requesting a complete upper and lower set. ken.jo@shaw.ca
