If you're trying to do it with rattlecans, there is matching paint available at Amazon here. I did one of my upper cowls with it and was happy...
Wow. Good that you're as OK as you are. We have lots of deer here, and they scare the crap out of me. I know people who have lost loved ones to...
With apologies for having gone OT, I agree. There is virtually zero chance that "stretching" of the kind associated with wear/usage would happen...
Since I had a chain replacement to today's to do list, I took some pictures and measurements, comparing the old and new chains. With one end held...
I have an 85 I bought in early 2012 with 53k miles. After going through it once it's been in my regular commuting rotation for most of four riding...
I missed that part, so it isn't a match for my failure, which totally drained the battery, though it was fine when recharged.
+1 on The Drill. My 3G did exactly the same thing a couple of days after a 400 mile ride. R/R was toast (see FSM for how to test), stator OK,...

Check out Wisconsin Cycle Salvage in Neenah. They almost always have a couple of these listed on eBay, and you may be close enough to pick it up...

When I did mine I ended up with a high idle even after VERY careful bench sync. The problem went away after manometer syncing....
I regularly carry my trumpet on my 30 minute commute. I put it in a compact rigid foam/fabric case and strap it across or along (hanging out the...
Looks very nice. This is one of the higher mileage VF500Fs I've seen. It's nice to be reassured they don't all die early deaths. One of the...
It is equally clear that outlawing motorcycles would save lives.
It is far from clear that such laws reduce aggregate health care costs. With very few exceptions, everyone dies exactly once, and people generally...
Waukesha county miniceptor rider here. I spoke with a guy riding a red 3rd gen in Wales a couple of weeks ago, but didn't ask if he was on this board.
I got mine from http://www.siriusconinc.com.
