I'm OK with the Gen 1 in the rain on some budget Shinko tourmasters. It's my commuter so I'm riding it most days rain or shine. It does take some getting used to, and isn't near as settled as my old 750 that's for sure. If you want to practice your throttle control in the dry, practice...

I think the later Kawi Z1000's mufflers would look right at home on a Gen 1. Any tech wizards have any idea if it's feasible to fit those up and not lose performance?

+1 on the Sena SMH10's. I bought a boxed pair for $220 on Amazon last year. Use them every time I'm out, for bike to bike, passenger to rider, etc. Music and phone when solo. They're excellent. If you want solid phone integration with no fuss, then for best results have an IPhone 4s or...

Am I reading that right? The carr rims are sort of the end all be all of handling improvements I thought? Why did you go back to stock?

Looks like a nice setup but I really hate the sport bike tail on the max. It's a crazy popular mod, but I haven't seen a single bike that I think it looks good on.

Heh, sometimes it's the silliest things. I'm surprised that was the issue though, because my 06 makes it impossible to forget the choke is on. With even the slightest amount of choke the bike lets you know when it's warm. It'll bring the rpms to 2k minimum, and always feels like it wants to...

I know this isn't helpful but: How... how in the hell did that happen?

They made a limited run of the Valk's on the new 1800cc Wing engine. They called them the rune, and they were a bit ugly by most people's standards. They were rather pricey by anybody else's standards. Kind of like the Gen-2 :D The 1500's sold like crazy, but the 1800's pushed the price too...

I was asking naughtyG. I wouldn't mind losing the self cancelling at all.

Yeah 30-35mpg tops here, but it's all ethanol garbage.

Did the relay you used prevent the need for load equalizers and resistors? If so I'd be interested in the part #. I'm fine using load equalizers, but I like the electronics to be as efficient as possible so I can add as much ******** as I want to the bike.

Did mine this weekend. Used the motogadget integrated light in the end. I dremel cut the plastic mounts and the subfender down to install. So mine is stuck on there with a buttload of black silicone caulk and 3M tape. I'm pretty sure I can have something tooled to bolt right up to the divots...

Nah, it also looked like this: . The Nova project was all kinds of things. It was to come in a v-twin, V-4, and a V-6. It was this, it was that, it was also this great thing over here... and then it was shelved for good when Harley sold out to a bowling company. To contribute:

Yeah it's hard to say really. Lightning does some wicked stuff and you can only be so protected. It's weird though that only the comp got blown and everything else on the strip was fine. One time around 2am I was launched out of bed by a strike of lightning hitting right above the bedroom...

That blows. If nothing but the computer fried on the strip then the strip likely did it's job. It could have been toasted via a network or modem cable that was hooked into it and got surged up too.

^ That's what my 06 does. If I flip the signal then sit in the left turn lane it will turn itself off regardless of if I am motionless. When I turn it back on it will stay until I move again.

He sells 'inside investor knowledge' subscriptions by fabricating or over-blowing sources. He's less likely to cancel subscriptions than AOL was. He's been sued by the SEC already for blatant misrepresentation of facts and artificially inflating his own stock picks by doing so on unfounded...

CBR taillight mod. 3M taped and black silicon caulk straight to the plastic fender with the sub fender cut away. I kind of want to weld something on it for a mount just for the extra peace of mind, but I really doubt it's going to go anywhere. Used these to light up the license...

Awesome! Did you make it or have it made?

A car air scoop boosts that much HP eh? Why didn't we think of this before!? :rofl_200:
