French drains cant be fixed properly without digging up and replacing with proper stone again.
That is the downside to them is that the open voids slowly fill and you develop leaks as the water has no route to go to escape the intended path.
Could see about doing some better water management drainage solutions around the house to promote water to flow away and around the foundation as unusual amounts of rain this year has everything saturated.

Got a PC?
Unplug and try

Give you $50 for your bad shock and a used but working (key word)
OEM shock.
For $150 I would send it off and woohoo act surprised when it arrives back in top notch form.

I think I kicked the spring on a previous stop, because the center stand and side stand are too close/interfere. I'm going to weld a foot lever onto the side stand.
Good idea and easy fix. I changed footpegs on my XX and the side stand was right against the peg. This led to my textile pants cuff hooking the side stand several times coming to a stop light. Almost fell over once and always killed the engine.

Dang, did you buy a harley?

Not leaving the chain soaked for 24hrs as in the test. There is some residual kero left but most all is wiped away within minutes or flung off. Chain is all shiny and clean, don't forget to rinse off your grunge brush also...
carb or brake clean will swell the crap out of rubber. Learned that mistake years ago when rebuilding the carbs on a kawi 454 ltd Let them sit for a day or so and fit again.

I still use a grunge brush and kerosene
takes maybe 5 minutes total
scrub really good, wipe down, scrub down again, wipe down really good.
Use some dupont chain wax I found at lowes in between scrub downs.
got 26k miles out of last chain, still in limits but developed a tight link and front sprocket was due as well.

Thanks.
Had thought about running these on my F150 next to try out. Takes about an hour to change the bulbs.
Crappy design that uses 10 bolts, screws and pins to just reach them. Also lack a lot of ventilation as they have them rubber back seals to keep mud and rain out of the other part of a crappy design.

Little question on the heat output of the LED bulbs.
Seen them with the built in heat sink and even small fans to keep them cool. Is this to protect the electronics or the diodes themselves from heat exposure?
Do HID bulbs produce this much heat as well or do the ballasts?
-
Thats an awesome price on some LED lights, let us know how they work for you.

Yep, huge damn bottle neck shoving and squeezing all the hot exhaust gas into a small opening.
Interesting find on someones bike. Cbrbear has some very nice items on his XX. Curious where it came from.
Toss it on ebay and see if someone wants them to fix or make work less sucky

post a pic of these damn things
curious to see what they are so restrictive to flowing out HP.
I talked to a local shop near few years ago about doing some exhaust work, guy hand builds exhausts for bikes and cars. would love to keep dual pipes
never did get them done as my riding lately has been limited.

All good, I currently have the Buell pegs on I got from Ben. Two issues I find is they dont allow side stand all the way up and being all metal with blunt knarled surfaces my hard soled boots slide some.
My XX hasnt moved since june, was hoping Nexxt would allow me to ride.
-
Dang, those are very nice.
Oscar?
What say you?
-
Got any pics of it in action John? Everyone bitches about my led turn signals not being bright enough. Might help with that issue, ass I have gave away my stock housings.

Sorry Scott for the drama in your sale ad,

What is one sided is all those screaming at trump for all he has exposed wrong with DC.
He is nuttier than squirrel turds but is clearly showing those who pay attention how currupt and fucked over the American people have been for decades.
Or
Could just have Hillary and continue down the same path.
Sorry your family left Scott. If all they can do is pack up and leave because of what has happened and shown wrong with DC business as usual.. Good riddance, America first, your feelings second.

Seems to like you working on it. Better than the guy who cant work on it and just sells it off..
Wish we could ride at work. Only a select few can. They get away with it by saying they are checking out the property. No joy riding on site allowed.

They may be able to create a temporary bandaid fix but thats it.
My job deals with stormwater runoff and bio retention ponds. Trust me, I deal with customers all the time who scream about water back ups. They quickly learn that their cheap ass contractor installed everything wrong or actually promoted sediment to be trapped in the voids of the media.
Changing the flow of water around the help is the starting point and will allow water to slowly drain from french drain. The material needs to be replaced to be done correctly.
