• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Risers on...

    the risers came with new pipes for the grips. Saving the bar end plugs is to close up the hole left by the cut.

    lights and wind deflectors

    I experimented with setting the wind deflectors out from the body a quarter inch. bought some steel tube/spacers at the hardware store. The top whole wont line up, so I poked a new hole. They did a great job still, with the wind. The hope was that a bit of air flowing in that new gap would...

    Risers on...

    I used a plumbers pipe cutter to do mine. No burrs, but it does flare the metal a bit, making the fit of the riser too tight. a bit of time with a file and it dressed down nicely. So, either way you will need to dress the metal a bit. Keep the bar ends from the originals to put back in the...

    More lights.

    I got all from ebay. The strips are 36 led amber (these actually display as orange but I dont really care) waterproof, self adhesive. The others are amber marker lights from ebay. I just looked around for a us seller that had the lowest per unit cost, and a buy it now. didn t want to do that...

    More lights.

    I did this with me VStrom... feel like there is a lot of dark areas in the back... So, between the fender ribs, ribs on the sides under the pass grips, and the four pairs of amber I added on the inner fender, its pretty easy to see this one from the back now. I also took the red oval reflectors...

    king of the cheap farkle

    I love a challenge. Needed a mount for my gps, too cheap to buy one. I found a used hurricane strap, pounded it straight(ish) and started cutting/bending. Paint, mount, velcro, a voila! gps mount. bolted through a gap in the rises I installed. sorry for the wrong rotation.

    Risers on...

    I just finished a longish ride, about 140 miles (well long considering the layoff my medical situation required) and the riserrs made a tremendous diff...:yes::clap:

    I suppose I could have left the original bars uncut, so it could be 'reverted', but that woulda looked pretty dopey.

    I do, and also need the rest of the money to buy it! lol. The forward pegs, risers, and soon armrests for the Boss will make this one do nicely.

    Risers on...

    my kit requires cutting the original bars. If yours is the same, you would have to replace the entire unit through the "Y" in the center. I wouldnt think it would be worth it for an experiment. On the other hand if you dont need the extra height... Its mandatory for me, not only am I a...

    I bought the risers from Cruiser customizing . com $129 (found a $10 off coupon, covered shipping). Nice stuff. No mods to the cables, used every bit of the slack in the 08 original stuff...

    lights and wind deflectors

    I tried my wind deflectors, and got the same result as everyone else, exhaust. Tried a mod of trimming a spot, and it helped, but for now they are off... gonna think on this. There has to be a way... Also, I think the rs has a dark area on the side, at night, so I added some lights. Fender...

    tupperware off...

    I had the tupperware off for the first time, and I must say that this thing is laid out pretty well. Nice and tidy under the skin. PO said the dealer did the oil a thousand miles ago, and he (PO) had no idea where to check the oil... hmmm... anyways it needed a half quart when I purchased it...

    Passing on a great product

    perhaps. I havent looked to see what kind of room is available under all that tupperware. The Strom was snug.
