  1. running 100 in what gear? didn't know this bike would get that fast.. when was the last time you cleaned the carbs and sync'ed them?
  2. Oh my damn.... I am sitting in a wet spot... I don't know, they are rare and sexy and rare... Would look perfect on my silver XX.. I can polish and spray clear. What are you looking to replace them with?
  3. will let hobie have first take of them since he plans to visit and try them on.. if he doesn't take them I will be interested in them and basically give me motivation to get off my ass more and make them more mid section roomy..
  4. its not by much either... talking a couple inches... Whats your inseam? I am a 30" like I mentioned, tea pot short and stout build
  5. Dang, smoking deal on some great leathers.. Sadly they wont fit me without doing some serious weight loss right now... almost tempting to buy and force myself to hit the gym
  6. I'll give you $50 and take that problem bike off your hands
  7. DDM and was basically plug and play.
  8. Thanks for the info.. Will check measurements tomorrow when I get home, out of town for work..
  9. Series seems to be the cats meow, they require you to do the connectors but should serve you well. That one or the next one down. Which ever one will go for the XX. Double check before ordering or give them a call and ask. As for stators, There are also other places than ricks.
  10. See them other threads about these items in the garage section? Read them and take notes. There are other and better options than ricks.
  11. friends don't let friends buy Ricks The only way you registered 18 volts at your battery is the simple fact that it was getting 18 volts sent to it.. It didn't decide to hold a little back and give it all back, it was all happy sitting at 14V when suddenly it was hit with 18v coming from......... the R/R
  12. How did it fit you in the chest and waist area? I am 5'9" 230lbs.. But wear 38-40 pants depending on brand. So I expect it to be a little more snug. Like a tea pot short and stout...
  13. I would look at the tool pouch rubber band. Few posts involving r/r and stators lately.. Look and read
  14. I had some built up at my last change. Never seen it before and change fluid often enough. I cleaned it all out and flushed system. Was using Honda dot 4 fluid. Got full synthetic dot 4 compatible in now. No goop in it yet.
  15. You are making them better by improving the ability to see and be seen for safety. But your stator and R/R hates you.
  16. Yeah the $200 for a R/R made me do a double take as well. Hence why I just went with a MOSFET for my track bike. Would rather spend that extra on tires. Hehehe, Really surprised no one had came out with a lower voltage stator setup for track riders. Hmmmmm I might be on to something...
  17. I do, however I learned something afterwards from here. Red len, use red led colored diodes not white
  18. I fully understand what you described except where this extra power goes that was disconnected.
  19. man, this thread escalated quickly into the realm of weird.
  20. I clean my chain and lube it up every 500 - 1000 miles or so.. nothing fancy, grunge brush and kero... wipe down good, DuPont spray wax and go ride. Got 26k miles on my first chain, got 18k on this chain and still looks like new, not stretched and no kinks to. Also on the original rear sprocket made out of the same shit airplanes black boxes are made from it seems. Still looks like new.. Simple formula in making these things last Get a good chain, not some mickey mouse crap (O-ring is good, X-ring better) clean and lube (a clean and lubed chain is a happy chain) properly adjust and align the chain
  21. I don't understand all the ends and outs of electrical, for your reading pleasure. I also thought the same, the stator just makes power based off of the wire gauge and number of times wrapped and number of posts, sends to the R/R and it handles it.. I just ordered a MOSFET R/R last night instead of a series for my Daytona, its a track bike only unless I actually tag it and go on limited short trips. My XX is my dedicated bike and would install the plugs and series R/R on that first if they are better at doing their job. http://www.triumphrat.net/speed-triple-forum/104504-charging-system-diagnostics-rectifier-regulator-upgrade.html and next up http://www.triumphrat.net/triumph-supersports/599170-d600-new-stator-and-r-r-installation.html
