  1. You will def notice the difference. They do fit better and dont cam out. Do yourself as favor and get these JIS impact screwdrivers in #2 & #3 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BGTTSE/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BGZ9CO/ I beat the shit out of the #3 with a sledgehammer, to loosen the rotor retaining screws on the wifes Civic after 7 years of Northeast winters. Worked great. Motion pro has some JIS insert bits https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZYK1JL4/

    Chain Question

    Thanks. Might not be worth the savings then. I dont think mine looked too bad at 30k, but did them with the chain and back to OEM. In the future, planning to just do the chain after at 15k and maybe sprockets at 30k.

    Chain Question

    Phil, I had @ 30k on my chain and sprockets, and even though they looked OK, i was starting to think I had engine/trans problems. After the new chain, OEM sprockets, and Road5's, bike feels like new again. Well, maybe need another CCT, still have that rattle. I am no longer going to try and squeeze every mile out of the stuff, going to just plan on doing my chain at 15k and tires before they are shot. Just to confirm, the OEM setup is the 17/45 w/110 links. I already had my new OEM sprockets, but did come across this aftermarket rubber cush sprocket, and is avail in 16/17/18 teeth. Might give it a try next time. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X9HTTMZ/ http://www.jtsprockets.com/catalogue/sprocket/JTF339/
  5. A friend in Virginia selling these due to health reasons. Each around 15k miles, and 2013 model year $7,500 for the Triumph https://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/mcy/6691729463.html $13,000 for the HD https://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/mcy/6691718915.html If anyone shows interest after the CL ads die, I can get his info.
  6. Regarding the battery, my radar detector has a voltmeter, I'm tapped into the wiring in the front cowl, so maybe it is not 100% accurate. When in traffic and the fan is running the voltage drops quickly below 12v. They just don't have the output at low RPM to run the fan and light. I have a cut out switch on my headlight which makes a huge difference, any time I'm in heavy traffic, I kill the light.

    Brake pad issue

    OK, figured it out. Went back to look at my order. I ordered the wrong pads. The bird takes a FA261HH and I ordered a FA261/2HH. They are same shape/fit but are just over 2mm (each) thicker according to the specs on EBC site. When I looked back at my amazon order, I saw mention of this fact in the comments, where the guys rear on a VTX could use them. I think they can work in a Goldwing too according to another comment. I bought them over a year ago, so I think stuck with them, was $96 for the 3 pair. https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/motorcycle/partno/fa261hh https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/motorcycle/partno/fa261/2hh Superhawk, you can have if you want, but they def wont work on a bird. If you dont want, anyone with a wing or other that can use? Will ship free if anyone can use. Got 1 pair still new in package, the other is opened . The 3rd was used slightly in the rear while running on the centerstand.
  8. I bought a set of EBC FA261 pads, same as I used last time, and they seem too thick. Got the rear ones on, but they were tight causing the wheel to be hard to turn. The fronts I could not even get on, they were way too thick. Yes, I had the pistons all the way in, the back of the pads were touching the caliper. Anyone else ever have the issue? Thinking to just order some OEM pads.

    I was using the Rotella T6 5w40 in the bird, starts smooth when cold. Last time I used the Castrol bike oil https://smile.amazon.com/Castrol-10W-40-Synthetic-Motorcycle-Bottle/dp/B008MISDH4/
  10. Wow, great deal I think with all the extras and low miles. Probably $1200 to buy all the Givi stuff new, not sure on the corbin.
  11. Nice. I think those mounts are for the quick release SWmotech side carriers. Wonder if the rest of the parts are available in the sale... http://www.twistedthrottle.com/sw-motech-quick-lock-sidecarrier-honda-cbr1100xx-blackbird-evo-style-for-givi-micatech-trax-krauser-hepco-sidecases
  12. I'll take one if you still have, confirm before I paypal.
