• 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.

    "reserve" capacity

    Specs say 6.6 gallons, but my light comes on about 110 miles. Seems too early. One day I plan on taking some fuel with me and draining the tank. But, for now, what say you?

    DOH!~!

    I have been trying to trace out a parasitic drain. I was convinced that it was a lil led light that is in the 12 access point, although that didnt make sense as they pull insanely low current. I put a switch on the line that feeds it, as I wanted to be able to use it when the bike was not...

    diy pin job

    I purchased two sport covers for two replace the removable passenger rest. One is going to be the base for a flag mount, another is for lil dogger box for my 7lb Tinker (a blind chihuahua) Both of the new ones came without pins. I went to the hardware store and bought replacement hinge pins...

    I know you didnt ask...

    Wanna know what really chaps my A$$? An ebay user that opens an unpaid item case one day after I offered on their "best offer" item. They didnt even respond in the affirmative, and still opened the case. Argh.

    Lithium battery comment...

    I put a lithium battery in Wolfie. apparently I have a parasitic drain, as today the battery was at 2.3v. The brands own lithium charger/maintainer (the very same one I forgot to connect two weeks ago...) was showing no charge activity with flashing red light. Something to be aware of if...

    Rode today...

    With my crumpled up legs, I have to limit my riding to reasonably safe conditions. Not because of the bike, but my stabilityissues. With that said, I got wolfie out for a jaunt today, the first of 2016. Wow, what a joy to be back out there again... Before my injuries, I rode 150,000 miles on...

    Lithium battery...

    I bought the lithium battery and the lithium battery tender junior. Surpising how much lighter the battery is... Its also much smaller, so I built a wood spacer for three sides to hold it still. I also like that it has four poles on it, so mains can connect on one set, and all the accessory...

    PERFECT day for riding!~

    I did my chores, that way I could have a clear conscience. Suited up, oil checked, earphones in, helmet on, phone plugged in... wait, no juice to the phone? oh well... Put the key in, and nothing. Its only been three days, and not cold. Dangit. Put a tester on the bat, showed 5.89%...

    ok, who is it?

    I noticed on ebay there is a "safety card" up for auction. $25 BIN. who in their right mind would spend money on replacing this thing? I sure wouldnt... :sour:

    alignment/wind deflector updates

    I did my own alignment last week. Today, I logged three hundred miles, and if that short mileage is any indication, its better. The bike feels more relaxed, tracks straight, and isnt as twitchy. Now to watch the tires... I have the wind deflectors on, with two mods, and like the way they are...

    tire wear

    I noticed some excessive tire wear on the inside of the right front (as you sit on it) tire. See the pic. Otherwise tires are great, 9600 miles total. The other side is just fine. I assume this is caster? I find it odd that one side would do this, seemingly out of the blue, it was fine 2000...

    Rivco peg mounts/forward pegs

    I just installed the Rivco peg mounts. It took me till halftime to install ;) (radio) but was pretty easy. Solid, well made. The feet position moves out about 6-7 inches and forward about 16 inches. Recommended. (mine is an 08) final mount and position final mount on the right side Early...

    exhaust donut?

    I took my leo vince off, was gonna put the stocker back on. The diameter at the junction just outboard of the o2 sensor is different... The muffler looks to be unmolested, and I cannot imagine someone welding a 2-1 collector with 02 port just for an aftermarket exhaust. I can only assume there...

    mufflers/power...

    I have the leo vince on my 08. Kinda loud for my tastes. since I have the original too, I wonder, what do the mufflers doo for the power anyways? some say snake oil, some say dragon slayer... What say you?

    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 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...
