only thing that ever broke on my bike was the stater.

Sell it yet? Just curious. BTW, sorry I missed you when I blew through town last week.

I had the boys at GP Suspension remake my Wilbers shock (They gutted it) plus rebuild the front end. VERY MUCH worth the money. (350 for the Wilbers, 500 for the front.).

Where is the adjustment for the rebound/dampening/ whatever its called. Like I said the shock is buried between the extra crap I've got mounted, so I don't want to dig for it.

I got the one with the height adjustment, and remote pre-load adjustment. Didn't spring for the top-end one. Thankfully there was no puddle under my bike this spring. I'm just wondering WTF, it's not the same as last year.

OK, I got 6,000 miles on the Wilber's rear shock. Most of it heavily loaded / 2-up, on the highway. Last summer everything was fine. This spring I noticed 3 things. A) The shock keeps the bike bouncing after hitting a dip in the road. This happens alone, or while 2-up. The pre-load adjustment is either stuck or extremely hard to turn. C) Last year, my center stand didn't raise the rear high enough for the tire to clear the ground. Now it does. I'm assuming the shock isn't pushing the wheel down like it used to. ( My tire is worn more too, but I don't think THAT much) Can the cold weather of winter affect these things? What's the remedy? Details are helpful as I'm totally mechanically inept and I really don't have much room to get at this thing (Givi set up and the Uni-go trailer hitch ),

I'd checked the fuse, and it's fine. After several hours of frustration, I reached to move the junction box, when I touched the fuse, it rattled. Turns out the fuse was not tight in the holders. Pushed the fuse in better and VOILA. I guess it'd be easier if I owned a voltmeter thingy. But anyways, I've got the electronics working fine. I'm just doing the plumbing now. Truthfully, if it hadn't been for the fuse/electrical gremlin, this wouldn't really be a big deal to put in.

OK, I tried to get mine installed today. Didn't work for me. Questions: What color is the Speedometer wire? ( I found the 3 wires, Pink, Dark Brown (black?) and Green) Which one to I hook up to? Where did you run the wires? I kept them to the left side of the bike, and was going to put the junction box just aft of the battery. Where did you end up running the ground. My first though was to go to the ground terminal where the tank is also grounded (on the left side again.) Is using the left side causing EMI problems? I'm getting weird display codes on the controller. While doing the EMI test, once I start the engine the readout flashes a couple numbers, then locks on to "E7". I can change the E7 reading by using the +- keys. Did I mention I hate doing shit like this? OK I've managed to test the speedo reading. put the Oiler into signal count mode, spun the tire, it worked. Turned the motor on, it counted if the wheel spun, but as soon as I hit the brake, it stopped. Excellent! New Problem. Now the damn thing won't turn on!!!. No display, no error, nothing. I've tried reconnecting all wires, and moved the ground around to various places. The wire splicers they supplied,..... are they worth a shit? It looks like it would work, but why intermittent power supply? I'm going to connect straight to the battery, just to see if it's a power supply problem or a hardware problem.

I hate this shit. http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?...mp;#entry513708 Reader's Digest version: Where'd you put the junction box? Any issues with EMI? What'd you ground to?

The last consumer test I saw was a couple years old, but it rated Philips Vision Plus as the best H7 lamp.... the only one that came close to the advertised 40% increase. Back then I bought them online via an English shop as they weren't available in N.America. Like I said, that's been a couple years and there may be new technology around.

I'm still waiting............ there's always next year. Maybe Santa will see this.

ME too! Waiting with BAITED anticipation.

Seriously good buy, Would there be a problem getting them for 2 different type bikes. If I read their site correctly, the unit seems to be fairly universal. Shipping to Canada included in that as well? (if the parts are marked "Motorcycle parts" there's no import tax, just the sales tax. BTW, Pablo was very helpful last year when I had some questions, he seems like a good guy.

Once I get the bike situation sorted (ie buy one), my next purchase will be a Pro-Oiler.
