Three hoses and a wire --- How hard can that be?
It's not hard, but it's even easier if they aren't there...
-
It certainly makes getting to the spark plugs easier, and for me that was worth
the time and energy to do the block offs. Plus, when it's time for the next valve
check, that will be easier, as well.
-
There no need to check it every time the wheel is removed,chain adjusted,etc.You just need to figure out the error on the adjustment marks and go from there.
Example, if you measure that left side needs to be 3mm further back,it is gonna be always 3mm further back regardless of position of the axle in the swingarm.
Exactly. Used the string method once to figure out the error in the factory marks and now use
those with the proper adjustment whenever I change tires, adjust chain, etc.

Still have some wiggle room. Frankly, as FUBAR as the wiring setup is (you'd think there'd be a discrete way to route it), you can just cannibalize the stock lights to make them shorter. That's what I eventually did.
+1 on that. As you did, I just shortened the stock lights so they would clear the wing rack.

I have a rear cowl off a '97, so it's black, not red, and it has a couple
of small cracks and scuff marks. Probably not what you want.

Here's the other page. I'm not sure from your post whether or not you need this.

So that diagram is a bit of a help, if not the complete answer.
That was page one of the two page installation instructions. I can post the other page
when I get home tonight, if that would help. It probably shows what pieces go where.
LMK.

Does this help?

What is the size of the Tourmaster Convertible jacket?
Large.
Too big. Thanks anyway.

My Yoshi RS3s have over 25,000 miles on them and I have not noticed an appreciable
change in their loudness, although they do seem a bit more throaty now. I think they
improve with age and don't plan on repacking them any time soon.
-
Wise man, and suspected the same. Maybe I should do some for you guys, correctly.
Given the quality of your work, I think you'd get a number of potential customers. :icon_pray:
-
Ok, maybe I'm just a simpleton?
Do these just glue/double sided tape to the cover? Great way to cover up my not so great looking generator cover.
Yeah, but for $220 (150 euro = $220) plus $30 shipping, you can buy two OEM replacement stator covers from Ron Ayers...
Can't deny the bling factor, though.

I've never put anything on the pad backing. Just be sure to clean up the pistons before
you push them back into the caliper when you are making room for the new pads; you
don't want all that road grime, etc., getting inside the caliper bores.

I really like the 18T up here in the mountains. The ration seems to be much better
for this terrain. With the 17T, 1st always seems too low and 2nd too high, but the
18T solves that problem. It is a fact that starting up on an incline with the 18T requires
a bit more clutch slippage, however.
-
I don't believe the clock goes through the ignition or kill switch, so looking for a
ground problem seems like a good place to start.

Anyone ever fog their XX for winter storage?
Winter storage? What is that?

The wheels have been sold. Thanks to everyone for their interest.

Just got the chance to swap pegs and the ST peg works on the Bird. The detent also works to hold the peg up. Here are some pics of the pegs together with the mounting pin and the ST peg on the Bird.
Just a quick question, as I don't see where you have specified: are those the ST rider pegs or pillion pegs? Thx.

That change up paddle is where my high beam flash normally is! I want my passing light, keeps the cagers honest(ish)...
We don't have that on US XXs (at least not on my '03). My Triumph Sprint RS had it and
I really liked having that capability.
-
You could be right. Mine's an '03 and I got the recall. No issues with mine, however.
-
Looks like my rear PCV is bad so please reply or contact me if you have one avaialble.
I believe there's a recall on that part. If yours is leaking, Honda may replace it free. Check it out.
-
No, I'm not interested in packing them, but I'll think about it. I don't believe just slapping a shipping label
on them is a good idea, unless you want a lot more scratches and maybe a few dents in them. I doubt
UPS/FedEx/USPS are going to be all that careful with them. So, they would need to be individually boxed or
in the same box with a lot of padding around them.
Anyway, if no one local pipes up, I'll consider it; are you sure you're willing to pay all of the shipping
costs? The silver wheels cost me $100 in shipping, and that was without tires... That was from Canada, so
maybe inter-USA would be cheaper.

I have the original set of wheels from my '03 sitting around the garage and I'd
like to get rid of them. I purchased a set of silver wheels from a guy on Ebay to
replace the black OEMs (I like the look of the silver wheels on the black XX better).
The OEMs have a set of Pilot Roads on them with maybe 1000 miles left in
them. The wheels had about 30,000 miles on them when I took them off, so the
wheel bearings are probably in OK condition. They have the usual scratches that
you get from removing/reinstalling the wheels for tire changes, but are otherwise
in perfect condition, i.e. not dents, cracks, or other blemishes.
I'm not interested in shipping these things; they weigh a ton with the tires on them
and boxing them up would be a PITA. So, I'd only be interested if someone more
or less local wanted them. Say Stockton to Sacramento to the motherlode foothills
of CA. We could arrange a place to meet in between. I'm down in Folsom at work
Monday-Thursday, so could deliver in the Sacramento area.
NOTE: they do NOT have the disk rotors on them; those were transferred to the
silver wheels. The rear wheel does NOT have the rubber thingys in it nor does it
have the sprocket or sprocket carrier; they were transferred, too.
I'd like to get what I paid for the silver wheels, which was $50/each. Or make me
an offer.
LMK.
where do you buy your dress up bits? (and also some wanted items)

I have a set of covers with the "XX" etched on them, but I can't recall where I got them. I think
it was on eBay; if I can locate any documentation on where/when, I'll let you know.
