[Has anyone used the Bagster tank cover?]

Does anybody know if a magnetic bag will work on top of the tank cover or is it just too thick? Also, do youhave to loosen or remove the tank to install and remove the bagster tank cover?

I tried setting my Marsee magnetic on top of the Bagster cover and it won't hold, either the cover is to thick or magnets not strong enough to hold.

You can't use a magnetic tank bag on top of the Bagster, you need to by a specific tank bag from Bagster.

I tried setting my Marsee magnetic on top of the Bagster cover and it won't hold, either the cover is to thick or magnets not strong enough to hold. If you are worried about scratches, I've never had problems my Marsee bag scratching my tank.

Bagster is not as fast as a magnetic tank bag to remove as you have four clips to undo.

[Has anyone used the Bagster tank cover?]

Has anyone used this Bagster tank cover. I want to keep my tank from gettign scratched from my magnetic tank bag and this likes a unique alternative. Has lcocking points to mount different size bags to the cover itself and covers the entire tank. Only one dealer here in the US and he says the cover alone is $123.

I have attached some picks, one is called clear cystal black, the other is just regular black and the last is a pick of a Suzuki Bandit with one monted and then the tank bag mounted to it.

I have the cover and expandable tank bag, heavy duty material. Fit and material is of good quality. Only thing I don't like is the map pocket, harder to get maps in and out. My Marsee worked better for that. Let me know if you want me to email you some pics.

[Changing front Sprocket]

Thanks for the help

[Changing front Sprocket]

I plan on changing my chain and sprockets - how difficult is it to remove the front sprocket. do you need a impact wrench. Will a electric one work or do you need a air impact?

With having to buy a chain tool and impact wrench it may be cheaper to have a dealer do it. But may not be done better.

[Need some help info on electrical hookup for farkles?]

I use the BMW type plugs.

Here are a couple site with pictures of different set-ups.

I only use the BMW plug for my vest which is tucked under the seat when needed, my GPS and radar detector is hardwired to the handlebars so I just unplug from there when I want to remove them.

[Beetle bags question]

I would say yes, I have Beetle Bags with Staintunes about the same diameter as the stock ones. As long as they are the same angle you should fine. If you some pics I can send you some for reference.

Thank for putting this together

[Fuel hose washers]

Thanks Northman,

I'll re-use them, just was'nt sure and did'nt want to have a leaking fuel tank

Thanks again,

Ken

[Fuel hose washers]

Manual says to replace washers for where the hose connects to the tank,

basically its a banjo type fitting with crush washers, will it leak if I use the old washers?

Thanks,

Ken

[In Ground Swimming Pool]

Just got bid for in ground gunite pool 20 X 30 free form with 7 foot spa salt water system. $46,000 with no decking. I'm in So Cal, price will very.

Be careful with who does the work, there are alot of shady pool contractors out there.

[Spiegler Lines (problems... now with photos)]

Ruhi,

Thanks so much for all the info and keeping us updated. I too have an 02 and was shipped two different size bleeders. Is Spiegler/University Motors going to ship the correct bleeders ?

[Spiegler Lines (problems... now with photos)]

Just spoke with Gary at Univerity Motors, he has calls into Speigler with regards to Ruhi's and others problems. He assured me that he will do whatever it takes to make it right.

I expressed concern to Gary that there seems to be an issue with fitment pertaining to proper lengh and what was the policy of returns and he again assures me he would do whatever it takes to make it right as he wants to keep customers for the long term. I told him I will request to return my kit after the smoke clears if Spiegler can't resolve the problems.

He also asked if Dale has posted any info.

Bottom line is it looks like we are waiting for resolution from Spiegler

[Spiegler Lines (problems... now with photos)]

I bought the same kit, but added 1.5 inches for the Heli bars.

Have not installed them yet and not sure if I will after what Ruhi went through. Hopefully this is a isolated problem and Speigler will make it right.

[Spiegler Lines (problems... now with photos)]

Thanks for the pics.

The larger diameter bleeders are for the clutch, the smaller ones for the calipers. This is what I gathered based on the invoice

So does the clutch line work, can you turn the wheel all the way left and right?

Maybe they are using the same clutch line for the Blackbird and FJR ?

[Spiegler Lines (problems... now with photos)]

That Sucks,

I ordered my clutchline(Spiegler Line) 1.5 inches longer than stock which is 43.5 inches due to my heli bars. Seems that will be to short also.

Is there anyway of re-routing to make it fit?

[New Owner - Tank Protector and tag mount question]

Try Second Look for a tank bra, fits better and looks nicer (IMHO) than targa or others. I have one for a 02 and like it.

[So Cal Honda Dealers (Safety Recall)]

Has anybody worked with the service department at Temecula Motorsports or Escondido Cyclecenter or others in Southern California.

I just moved here and need the Rear Brake assembly checked (Safety recall notice) and would like to be able to take my bike to a reputable competent mechanic without someone mucking up my bike.

Thanks.

[Hearing the music]

I've used the custom set for the last 4 years, good quality and I can wear them about 4 hours before they start hurting my ears.

[Who has what for music inside their helmets...]

I have a IAudio M3L (20Gb with 34 hours battery) with a FM remote with (smaller that IPOD) Challenger custom plugs. Great setup with more music that I ever will use, mostly used on long hauls to break up the boredom.

[Polishing compounds]

I've used oven cleaner to get rubber and other burnt items off my pipes. Make sure you just spray the affected area and cover the plastics with old towels or something, leave it on for a hour or so and it comes off fairly easily. I heard the CHP in So Cal use this.

[Z-EYZE aka Zooke anti fog products]

I bought the cream and spray at the LA bike show 2 years ago, cleans well but as a anti fog or scratch remover I believe other products are better.
