    Gas Can in Tail Pack

    I'm planning to take some nice Mtn rides this spring and worry about my fuel supply. I have a luggage rack and a nice tail pack that could hold a 1 gallon plastic gas container. I might be able to fit 2 of them in it. I'm trying to think of a reason that this would be a bad idea. I realize it's...

    Tail of the Dragon Lodging

    Tom (The Beekeeper) and I are hitting up the Tail of the Dragon this year in the days preceding this June's Thunder in the Valley and as the title suggests we are looking for recommended places to stay on north end of the Dragon. We don't need anything real fancy just something where we can park...

    chasing my tail on a headlight malfunction

    Awhile-ago, I fitted an EMGO 7" headlamp bucket w/a 35/35 watt bulb, w/good, heavy-duty brackets having rubber isolators from the downtubes, and more rubber washers between the mount 'ears.' All-done in the interest of minimizing vibrations. Recently I had an intermittent function of the low...

    UFO Tail light & Turn signals

    Has anyone installed/using the UFO non-led turn signals and Tail light? If so how bright are the turn signals? I'm trying to stay away from the LED ones as i'm not electrical savy, and don't wanna fool with a resistor. But, i could probably figure it out.. With my job I work with copper...

    My first post here! I decided to modify the fender liner for a cat eye taillight and my own license plate bracket.

    Custom tail LED brightness

    Hi all I want to make a custom tail light and blinkers for my bike and i've been browsing the web trying to find out the proper brightness for the LEDs. I was thinking of getting the brightest and if too much i'd just use resistors to dim it. Any way if anyone can let me know what would be a...

    tail bone?

    Has anyone else seriously hurt their tailbone with a lowered seat? I hit a serious pothole with only my back tire last spring. My tailbone still is not right. I got the front wheel up but didnt get up onto the pegs in time and took a hard hit.

The bike in front of me is my wife, Shelley and our 13 year...

    Brake Lights, No Tail Lights

    Another interesting dilemma: My tail light(s) don't work. The brake lights work fine, though. I have checked the bulbs, and both filaments appear to be in good shape. I checked the fuses, all look normal. I checked the connections under the rear seat, all were set firmly. I might buy 2...
