Warning about the Harbor Freight 1.5 ton racing jack
RXX replied to superhawk996's topic in The Garage
Well, there’s this also...... the wheel is off the car anyway, right? You don’t want it rolling off or anything, and if you are not using it already as a seat, it has to go somewhere. Why not under the vehicle, out of the way? -

Well, using jack stands, like leathers or gloves, is relative of course. Use a jack alone on anything you are willing to crawl under and have fall on you. Pretty simple. Never go faster on your bike than you are willing to slide. Never parasail higher than you are willing to fall. Stuff like that. -

What, it’s a jack, right? Aren’t you supposed to jack shit up, place stands underneath and lowering the vehicle onto the stands? I have one like that and I appreciate how light it is. -

Did you hear the chassis squeaking when she first took off?

Good food takes time to cook.

That looks like a nice place to work.

He stated it was a alu/steel version. I could believe that. 2 pounds of aluminum weighs more than 3 pounds of steel every time.

Sprayway Glass Cleaner Travel Size
RXX replied to RXX's topic in Useful Product Links & Vendor Reviews
I have used it for the last 3 years on my Schuberth C3 Pro shield with no problems. -
Odometer. I believe the bike has a speedo healer, would that make a difference? I know for a FACT (personal experience) that when the bike runs bone dry, it can be laid down to the ground and righted and it will go a little further. Tomorrow I will tell you which side.

I got one dead-on reading riding up to NeXXt earlier this month. 99 FI with a PC, don’t know the settings, otherwise stock. One rider with moderate baggage weight. 91 octane ethanol-free. Straight interstate, 75-90 mph, no stops. 36.7 mpg. Oh, and that was over 175 miles. Light came on then, and I was very close to a station.

Cyclops led lighting replacement
RXX replied to Hooplehead's topic in Useful Product Links & Vendor Reviews
Has this come out since you talked to them? https://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/Pro-Kit-for-BMW-R1200GS-R1200GSA-1250GS-2013-Newer_p_213.html -
I have been looking for this product for years. Glass cleaner in a spill-proof container that is travel sized. I had to buy a case off Amazon, but it is pretty cheap per can, and once you stuff one in each vehicle, give a few away, stash a few for later, and huff the gas out of a couple they go quick. I gave some away at NeXXt, how has you guys’ experience been so far?

Find a plug and play HID setup. It will give you wood.

Good luck with the sale.

That’s a pretty bike.

High speed cases.

AND, The high beam now cannot be modulated. A favorite of mine. Tom, if you are dicking around with your illumination, this would be a good time to look into a modulator setup. Easy to install, reliable (mine was going on 60K on stock bulb), and other drivers notice you.

This. Tom, HID is the single most important upgrade you can do for your safety.

2000 Blackbird and misc. parts for sale SOLD
RXX replied to XXera's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
Who bought it? Did you give her the board address and tell her what a swell bunch of guys are here? Come on in, the water’s fine. -
Yeah, that is exactly what it is.

OK, I have had Zero’s bike for a little over a year now, pit somewhere like 7K miles on it, and have always been going ”OH, SHIT, gotta flip the fan switch on, it’s almost on hot” But every once in a while, the fucker cut on by itself. WTF. So today, in the sweltering heat, and I mean it is hot and humid, I tested it out. Looks like it is working. Heated up, fan cut on. Cut on shop fan while running, fan cuts off. Cut the shop fan on, bike fan cuts on. Ran it a few cycles, and I think we are all good. I think the gauge is off. I am a genius. If any of your bikes are working, but you think it isn’t, give me a shout. I think I can help.

Nope, bot me.

Whether or not that fixes your problem, Craig is spot-on about the fuel increase. I just checked the Charlotte area on pure-gas.org (www.pure-gas.org) and there are a shit-bucket load of stations around there. No need for premium. BTW, the gauges are very bike specific. My “new” bird’s readings vary drastically from my old one. Both 1999 FI’s. Expect 220 miles per tank, and thank Allah if you do better. The blended gas has not been kind to your fuel lines, replacement is easy enough.
