  1. honestly I would guess the battery doesn't have quite enough juice to turn it over since your getting a rapid clicking sound.
  2. actually it looks like the bulk of the sensors needed are included. It says 100% water resistant
  3. it's $179.00 which makes it a pretty reasonable option. compared to 30 bucks more for the parts to fix mine

Well I haven't had any luck finding the parts I need to rebuild my gauge cluster and one of the guys on the FZR forum was looking at these for his street fighter and I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with them?

  5. Bring it to OzarXX he just repainted it from what I've heard you re paint after OzarXX
  6. Dumbass But you still love me dontcha big boy
  7. The bags do tend to hide the rear of the bike a bit but she was lowered about 1" in the front and 1.5" in the rear if memory serves.
  8. The side stand was cut by Demon(used to be his bike) for the bike to be lowered and a little to much was removed so the block was added to get it back to the right lean angle. Works pretty well but I ordered a new kick stand and I'm raising the bike back up most of the way.
  9. Just an update I got the new covers today and it came with a bonus surprise gift of a nelson riggs t-shirt very cool for a v-twin t-shirt. So I would have to give these guys two thumbs up for a quality product with amazing customer care.
  10. Sorry my bad :icon_silenced:
  11. IIRC the headers will not swap from the carb bird to the FI bird

    MPG Down

    I'll tell my dad to set up a mouse trap by the pipe and airbox on that virago when he gets home you can never be to safe
  13. I know I haven't seen one on my 99 but I haven't been looking real hard for it but considering the amount of tear down I have done I would think it would have been noticed.
  14. I liked the gold with the black paint on mine to maybe we're just wierd
  15. You did that yourself :icon_shocked: That's friggen great work man :icon_thumbsup:
  16. 2x5 over I would guess is 10 over the speed limit but I'm sure airborne will let us know oh and as promised pics of the bags on the bike, please excuse the givi bag on the top but Demon was kind enough to give that to me when I bought the bike. You have no idea how depressing it is seeing the bird in that beautiful state and knowing how far I have to go to get it back to that.
  17. I had no problems with the other one at all just the left side no idea why but the bags are great they are hooking me up with a new cover life is good
  18. I'll post a few up tonight when I get home none on the work computer with the bags
  19. Last fall I purchased a set of the nelson riggs sport bags for the ride home with my new to me blackbird. On the ride home they went through sme very serious rain I think that storm got classified as a tropical depression or something like that. Rain was very heavy. The bags performed very well on the ride. The only porblem I found was that the one rain cover had an annoying habit of coming off of the bag. After a few times falling off I lost the cover in northern Virgiana. Even without the cover the bag did an excellent job of keeping the contents dry. I did get a bit of seep through but nothing worth complaining about. In all seriousness my army issue gortex jacket was completely soaked through as well as the pants so it was amazing that the bag wasn't filled with water. The bags are large enough that I could pack a long weekend to a week for myself of clothes etc. I had no problems with paint rub on the tail fairing I didn't use clear tape or the foam pads you all have mentioned. To be honest I hadn't even thought of that. All and all very well constructed bags that do very well for solo touring on the bird. On the customer service side of the house. I had recently posted up in Dutch's thread about deals gap on my problem with the rain cover today I was contacted by their customer service about it. I won't post the pm since I haven't asked permission to do so but I'll give you the basics. They hadn't heard of any customer problems with the rain covers coming loose but they would be more than happy to send me a new set of covers. According to the last pm I got about 20 min ago the new bag covers are on the way to me now. I just want to point out that I hadn't even contacted Nelson Riggs about this they apparently are watching for their name to show up and look into the customers problems on their own. That is a real stand up way to do business in my book and outstanding customer service. There are a lot of companies out there that should take notice of this and use it as a model of a great way to do business. I will certainly be buying their bags for any future needs I have and recommending them to anyone that asks.
  20. I bet that was freaking hiliarious to watch though congrats on saving the tires
  21. for that much cash they had better give the 20 hp
