Best fix I have found is plastic welding with stainless metal screening as a backing. You melt in the screen from the back, then build up the...
Thanks for that link derstukka. It led me to this one below. http://goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15560 That is some great data to...
When my idle was kooky (started low, sped up while almost warm, back down when fully warm), it turned out to be a stick fast idle (WAX) valve. I...
I didn't see that your parts list includes new throttle body mounting boots (insulator - 16211-MBG-000). They are $15 or so a piece, and you...
I second the recommendation to change out your front brake lines to SS and go with HH pads in the rear. It makes a world of difference. Jose
When you go from flux core to gas, it makes for WAY easier/nicer welds. Flux core really is for when you are doing farm equipment, not something...
Symmetry is always the bugger. I will sometimes use a piece of wood, with finishing nails. Bend the first one, use the nails to outline, then...
Hey there A.M. Yes, the job changes happened right away. I am already teaching one PE course this term (Jeet Kune Do), and am working on...
I used the 530 black/silver RK kit. It has worked awesome. Jose

With the fairing off, I was able to get the drain plug out of the pump housing just fine. What I was not ready for, was the rather powerful...
Took the VFR out again today since it is sunny and 63 degrees. This shock upgrade is so damned nice. If you have a 5th gen., you gotta get you...
I'm with fink. Any decent DOT 4 works. For coolant, it pretty much doesn't matter. As I understand it, there are basically three places in...
I did a super bar conversion on mine, and it is AWESOME! I know some people like their helibar setups as well. You also need ST1100 throttle...
Food for thought. My bike has an undertail and I think a hugger would hit it. If you have stock pieces, I am sure it would be fine. Jose
Sargent has a business account so they can ship back for $20, but the smallest dimension box I can make would still be about $40 to ship (via...
That's mucho no bueno that their customer service is so crappy, but at least you have a nice shock now. I would definitely stay away from a...
Hey folks, I found a great shock upgrade option for my 5th gen....
