Here a pix-workshop how to make your own protector/grill. The gaze is for sale at any car shop.. Demount the middle fairing and fold the gaze around it and glue it with mounting-kit. http://picasaweb.google.com/blackbirdyo/Wo...otectorRadiator

Hi Birdies, Today I´ve mounted my Xenon set 8000K. The most work was finding a place to put the ballast. The pictures shows you where I put it. I´ve mounted it on the bolt of the headlightunit. The Kit

Well, it may help the finishes longevity but when damage occurs it is much harder to correct cause you have to correct the clearcoat as well... With only colorpaint it is much easier to cover up spots cause you've only have to put on new color..

The job looks great Yo - Just one thing though I think you would be better using thinners or simolar to degrease as petrol has oil in it and can affect paint and stop it sticking IMHO :icon_think: I don't know the exact word but it is a degreaser that you use in the household. Freely translated from Dutch to English it is called "washing petrol" . Works like a charm

Hi Montana, beware of the mountingholes of the front fender and the holes underneath the fork. (screwthreads) Underneath I rolled little pieces of paper and stuck them in the holes.. Also cover up your inner tubes cause the spraypaint gets really everywhere.... Sandpaper 400, scour lightly, degrease with petrol(the kind you use in the household)...I did 4 layers in 2 hours, 24 hrs drying, then 5 layers within 2 hours and 24 hrs drying. Especially the drying is essential! I used a hot air heater and placed it in front of the paintjob.

You forgot the CHEAP part

Paintjob. Looks good, do you think it will stay on or will it chip off? Only time will tell

WITHOUT.... WITH HEADLIGHTCOVER.

To hell with the check list....thats one wild written language you got going there.... Is this better?

Hi Birdies, Here a fault finding checklist of our XX. Search the fault in the index and click the corresponding number at the thumbnail section. CLICK CHECKLIST

The 99 reg/rec are of a modified type so it lasts longer dan the 1997. Why bother to replace it XXSTAR... If it's good it's good Some BB-pilots always have a spare with them just in case....

Hi Birdies, Did you replace your reg/rec? Mine broke down at 36000 km. I say yes.

Hi Birdies, Sometimes, due to dirt, rust or not riding for a while, the float needle valve can be stuck causing excess fuel to be admitted to the float chamber resulting petrol overflow through the overflow tubes. In most cases this can be solved by tapping with a screwdriver against the float chamber to release the float needle. Also a good suggestion is, when you have this overflowproblem, to drain the floatchambers by unmouniting the drainscrew and get rid of the dirt and water. @If this method does not work or occurs often you might have a worn needle or seat or other problems concerning the float chamber TOOLS Flat ringspanner A and flat hollow piece of metal B (original Honda tool-set) Ringspanner 12 Flat bladded screwdriver Hammer Remove the rear mounting bolts of the tank Pull the rear of each tank trim panel away from the tank to release the lugs from the grommets Raise the tank at the rear and put B between the tank and the batterybox (there is a space where you can fit B in) Slide A (through the hole at the rear of the tank)into B resulting in a secure work-position Look beneath the tank. You see two tubes (arrows) Those are the overflow tubes. One tube for carbs 1 and 2 and the other for carbs 3 and 4. Ascertain which tube overflows and follow it to the carbs.(1&2 or 3&4) Place a screwdriver on the floatchamber (bottom carbs) and tap slightly with a hammer on the chamber at several places. Repeat this proces by the other carb if you don’t get a petrolflowstop after a restart Tap not too soft and not to hard (you can cover the blade of the screwdriver with a piece of cloth to prevent it from scratching). Your floatneedle is released when the petrol overflow stops To prevent this overflowproblem, drain the floatchambers by unmouniting the drainscrew and get rid of the dirt and water.

Maybe this will put your mind at rest... In my opinion they are idiot proof, you can only install them one way. If you swap the collars by accident, your wheel won't fit.'
