I planning to replace my rear brake pad and was thinking about the carbon lorraine pads. Has anyone used these pads and what do you think of them.

I finally got my wiring harness and bracket today from Carbon One. The whole Stebel install went slick as snot, and I was bolting my seat back on in under 20 minutes. Thanks goes out to Carbon One for the ease of installation. I highly recommend his products!!

Can you raise your bike, using the carbon one adapter and if so does it balance OK?
-
I received my Carbon One adapter w/legs ysterday. Today I installed the upper unit (fit perfectly), lifted the bike on my Sears ATV/MC lift and performed the Freebird recipe for tightening up the steering bearings. I now have tighter steering and all is well with the world. -
Well here it is... another chapter in my "Carbon Fibre It" saga... I completed one of the air box covers... waddya think?

Since I started looking for new lids, I have come across Carbon Fiber HJC with both DOT/Snell approvals. They fit well, just looking for any other input related to the Carbon material? Any issues on this rather new material for helmet use? Very light weight is a benefit, Cost is the down side. As always, appreciate the input for the riders here on the site. Thanks,

Here's an inexpensive "Carbon Fibre" treatment I used to dress up my electrics side covers. Total cost about $35 and 1 hr of time. Purchase roll of TrimBrite "Carbon Fibre" film and a roll of 1/8 inch "Custom Chrome" accent striping. I got mine at Canadian Tire. You'll need a small spray can of some color...I chose silver (because the bike is black) ... the Carbon Fibre film shows the underlying color and with black, nobody would see it. Mask off the area you want for the Carbon Fibre. Scuff it up a bit with a scuff pad and clean it good with some paint thinner (or other de-waxer, de-greaser) Apply the under color....let it dry good...remove the masking tape. Take a strip of the Carbon Fibre and remove the backing paper. Lay it down slowly and evenly... make sure you don't get any bubbles. If you do, just poke them with a razor knife and work the air out. Trim off the excess with the razor knife. Apply the chrome trim to the edges.

I bought the Carbon One lift adapter without legs how much trouble would it be to add legs I e-mailed Carbon One and asked about buying a set of legs but he never replyed

I just received my lift adapter from Carbon One. Works great. I had not seen any pics of it installed so thought I'd post this for those who don't have one and wanted to see what it looked like installed. Well worth the money. Thanks Carbon One for your great work.

:think:Installing the Stebel horn, removed my old Rivco's. Questons is that will the relay that comes with the rivcos work with the Stebel? I tested it and it semed alright? Do I need to replace it with the Stebel relay for loudness or is it the same with the Rivco relay? Also, it seems even with the mount from Carbon One that that the wires are really close to the exhaust? Is this a problem? confused................................

My question for the know it all'rs, is why do our scoots use copper core high tension wires instead of carbon core. I have a lot of static in my radio coming from the ignition, it's still there when I unplug the stator. I put in new wires last year and new plugs. It's new plugs every spring for me. This year I tried non resistor type plugs but that was not a direction to go, runs great but the noise is deafening. So back to resistor plugs, but how about carbon core wires. Went through all the grounding issues, shielded cables etc.etc. can't seem to solve this problem.

I purchased a bike stand from Carbon One last fall but never had a chance to use it until this week. When I started rebuilding the Black Beast I put it on the stand. I soon realized that this was the best investment I have made since I started riding the Venture. With the bike sitting level It is much easier to work on. That is easy enough to figure out. The real advantage is just how sturdy the stand is. I could have never been able to do the work I have done with the bike on a jack. It is unbelievable how much difference it has made for me to have this stand. Larry, I want to thank you for not only making such a good product, But for making it available to everyone in here. Ride safe

Anyone know any tricks to pass the emissions testing? My 1986 Venture just failed the hydrocarbons test, but passed the carbon monoxide test. It is blowing a little oil out the tailpipe. Thanks,
