  1. ok i am going to pimp out my source. i have ordered some pretty nice stuff from and i kid you not www.besthongkong.com they are cheap for the most part and their stuff is not bad. if anyone wants to see it i have some 12 inch strips on my sv and i would be glad to show them at a QSL. also i have a long strip (about 3 feet that took forever to get i am not using and may part with). i did have to wire up mu own fuse and swith but a 10 dollar run to the radio shack can fix that in most cases

  2. ha i just thought of it forget Mice Burner my bike airbox is the ultimate rodent port-o-john. on second thought Mice Burner sounds better.

    i wouldn't call it cheap unless you top off a two liter for the road.

  3. listen i could go on and on about the problems i had with the way the sold me the bike. but here is the bottom line. Hind's does not care about the product they sell they only care that they sell it. i had a good salesperson the first time i went there and that is why i went back.

    it is a shame that they made no concessions about anything that they did that made my purchasing experience a bad one.

    in the end it was only the fact that Suzuki stepped up and with the help of another dealer did i get my bikes issues sorted out.

    but all i can think of when i look back at the HIND'S EXPERIENCE is when the owner says its my fault my bike had a mice nest in it because i bought a brand new (0 mile) 06 model and if i had bought a new 07 or 08 i might not have had this problem.

  4. i can not complain about their parts department. they were very helpful when i was shopping there and got the parts in a timely fashion.

    however their online parts department left me with a bad impression. it took them two weeks before they even processed the order then i go to pick up the parts and they cant find half the order. i stood around for half an hour then left. they did give me a t shirt and overnight me the parts when they found them but by then it was to late for the trip.

  5. i know that one, last time i called the first person i talked to told me that the person i wanted was not in that day. so i called back and asked for the owner and sure enough that person was in.

    ended up hinds also swapped my battery for a non factory one before they gave it to me. found that one out when the cables did not mount to the battery properly. i mean sure it worked but it wasn't right on a brand new bike.

  6. i found this in my airbox after i got the bike. according to the owner they check their atv's for rodent nests but not their bikes.

  7. agreed but divine intervention is best left for when you need the tires to hold when you hit a gravel patch on a seldom used freeway clover leaf. and then only in the hope that the cleaners can get the stain out of the seat of your leathers.

  8. had a little fun. out on the road. was almost run over by a lovely suv passing me on a double yellow as i slowed down due to the car in front of me making a right hand turn sans blinker. but then any ride you can walk away from is another story about how you were almost killed by a mom driving a minivan eating fries and smacking her children veering into your lane and then making a turn in front of you. i mean am i right or what. :violin:
