"Stupid is as stupid does."

Hi dude.......

Wow, mind bending. Warp speed 9, here we come....

The Bungles keep rolling along.......... Jeez - half the team has rap sheets....

Freaky weird...

Your Duc and the Trumpet bikes both deserve a "Wow" - Wish I was in the market, but we're headed to winter and I got plenty to tinker on with the bikes I have now. GL - Kinda of a whacked question, but is the rear hub on the Triple the same as a VFR? (It would be an interesting swap to a single nut hub vs the 4 lug nut style of the viffer. The wheel looks lighter too.)

+1 Got one.. That brush is a handy little dude.....

+1 ..... Reread post #3..

Dunno about this one, but I thought what do I use a lot? Has to come down to original bike polish. Aka, originally Honda Cleaner & Polish. Honda use to have the guys in Georgia manufacture it just for Honda. And then there was a big snafu with the California environmental big government group that decided it was going to gig Honda for selling a product with CFCs in it. (or something close.) So, Honda decided to redo the formula on the stuff gigging the Georgia group and hanging them out to dry. So "Original" decided screw that, we can sell it on our own. -- It's the "real" stuff. Very good product. http://originalbikespirits.com/products.aspx?pid=667

Dude - test your stator too, its not that hard. I listed the steps. Its essentially a quicky summary of the electrosport chart. You might be replacing a R/R for nothing. Electric charging systems are goofy on bikes, but they're not that hard to fix. GL

Basics - 1. First charge up the battery. Then go to Autozone and get it load tested. Sounding like its crap. Before going further and doing the rest of the tests, you need a rock solid battery. 2. You need a voltmeter - Crank it up. Check DC volts at idle,and 5000 rpm, across the battery terminals. Should be 13s at idle and 14s at 5000 rpm 3. Check Stator ------a. pull the connector apart that goes to the R/R, stator side. Usually the wires are yellow. Check resistance pin to pin. A to B, B to C, C to A -- should be less than 1.0 Ohms -------b. Check each pin: A to ground, B to ground, C to ground for continuity. Should be infinity. NO continuity. -------c. Check stator output. AC volts. Start bike. Pin A to B, B to C, C to A. Should 15ish at idle and rise into the 60s plus on each test. If you do these tests, you can get a data point on figuring out what parts are junk. GL

I have used the Stop n Go tire plugger kit on 2 rear tires. One a cruiser, one on a sportbike. Ran them both till the tire was far gone. No problems, I would do it again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCrRXYWm1Hg

For 2K thats a great deal if the bike checks out.......

LOL! Thanks for the laugh of the day.. -- That mr. mayhem has turned into a funny bit for allstate...

Looks like theres a over the fender kit out there for you already.. http://spieglerusa.com/brakes/cycle-brake-line-kits.html

I'm running spiegler on my VFR800. Mostly I just figured out line length, and what fittings I wanted and just showed up at their store. A very good way to go. - Nice that they are in my backyard too. http://spieglerusa.com/brakes/cycle-brake-line-kits.html Here's my over anal approach. I used a FZ1 brake manifold and mounted it at the lower triple with an angle bracket, and separated the lines into 3. I just wanted it to be neat, neat, and clean. - Did the job. - Used a pressure switch for the brake lights.

Wow, sweet tire gauge. PM me three please.... Oh Analog too, please.... thxz

Nice twisty road beast....

Kudos to your for going for it on this cafe project. - I love a good build it thread. ...

Suh -- weet! I've wanted one of those .....

Just a follow up to this --- the final story is that a dude and GF went to a club, partied, got on their bike with no gear. GF was juiced enuff to fall off the back passenger seat onto the pavement. At this point the dude, while controlling the bike forward at 35ish mph, physically turns and looks to see about his GF. As he does this, he viers the bike into an oncoming SUV. Squish, squish, squid dead. ------- I dont remember about the GF except she was messed up and in the hospital, I think she survived. Not sure. RIP rider. Prayers around. ---- I just write this to say that there have been too many drunk rider deaths and crashes lately. Please, please, please use you head and be smart.
