  1. Ever heard of Hagon Shocks? Seem reasonably priced compared to Penske/Ohlins/Wilburs but are they turds?
  2. I have a stocker from an '03 with 3,000 miles on it.
  3. The dashboard fuse blew in a light rain the other day, then it blew again after 2 miles in the dry today. No aftermarket wire tie-ins on the dash wiring. It is an '03 with 6300 miles. Where to start searching, as I have enough trouble with what I am supposed to be able to fix. TIA, Steve
  4. Do you use synthetic oil and your friend not? Synthetic cools my XX from a heat spike much faster than mineral oil.
  5. You lose 20% efficiency cordless vs corded in detection ability.
  6. Has anyone downloaded the free accelerator pump program for the PC3 USB unit? What settings did you use and is it worthwhile? TIA, Steve
  7. Marrietta Motorsports has Venom CF slip-ons for 375 the pair.
  8. Marrietta Motorsports, 1 888 fastlap, has Venom CF slip-ons for $375 the pair.
  9. I did a search and did not find a thread where someone has used the Givi mount for the topbox and adapted it for use with the SWMotech detachable sideracks. Any help appreciated. (Sound of tin cup rattling)
  10. What does this stuff do to a tire guage? Would it gum-up?
  11. A tough tank if Carbide would not ding it.

    New Garage

    Make it an A-frame and put an apartment upstairs. You can always finish that off later. Also if you have a compressor in the existing garage run a line to the new garage and use 1 compressor for both. Put in extra future lines for electric or water or whatever to ease later expansion.
  13. ServiceHonda is great to deal with, just make sure they ship UPS not FedEx ground.

    Dual Horns

    Bruce, In front of the ignition where the frame drops off and before the first plastic of the dashboard is where I hung the horn from. If you look at the bike from the top of the front fender you can see the lower 1/6 of the red horn. Use the supplied relay so ya dont fry the horn button.

    Dual Horns

    Go to Griots Garage and get their Italian air horn. Instead of trumpets, the horns are snail or nautilus type with the compressor attached. It is $39 and a bit bigger than a grapefruit. I hung mine from the steering neck with zip ties and let it flop a bit so it moves with the forks. LOUD as in 139 db. It is sometimes good to be mistaken for an 18 wheeler. Dont waste your time w/ electric horns. Then get a headlight modulator..... Here in Florida, the old fuckers that drive are blind and/or deaf.
  16. Kohler makes Black fixtures,and they are a bitch to keep clean. Every spot shows up on real dark anythings. Black is also a High Fashion Color, more $$$ than regular colors. If you do go the re-finish route, ask at several plumbing supply houses who they use. Not unusual for fixtures to be chipped during shipping so suppliers use these refinishers regularly. The same name will keep popping up, use that guy. If you sledge the old tub, 3 big pieces ought to do it. Smash the side near the top of the apron first, then take the apron itself.Next is the tub floor. Watch your backswing. Wear a facesheild as the porcelain will splinter into razor sharp pieces.
  17. Those cans are likely titanium as Termignoni is the aftermarket pipe of choice for Ducati and MV Augusta. Pricey stuff.
  18. 107 dollars including nitrogen recharge and shrader valve
  19. Sort of sounds like all the O2 is consumed upon ignition, ie a blocked vent.
  20. When the burner ignites, the pilot light and the burner go out? That may be a bad thermocouple or you may want to check for an obstruction in the vent.
