    Seeking: Heated grips, adjustable windshield, centerstand

    Sorry, haven't been on here in a bit. Angle Iron to cover up the scratches on the right side and add some strength and while I had the welder out added mounts for driving lights and a round mount possibly for a GoPro type action cam.

    I added all three. Bought in Sept 2019 with 33K miles, currently have 51K miles and running great. 1. Center Stand - oem from a local or online Honda dealer will run around $120? - for install you MUST use a ratchet strap to compress the spring - lots of videos online. 2. Heated Grips - I...

    Motorcycle crash - speeding, driving in bus lane

    As usual people will rush to say the car was at fault for turning in front of a motorcycle ignoring the fact that he was going maybe 2x or more the speed limit in the bus lane. Time to slow down especially when approaching intersections. I can remember only 1 car that tried to make a left in...

    Welded new spot light mounts & customized handlebars

    I first mounted my driving lights aka spot lights (concentrated pencil beam pattern vs fog lights which disperse light everywhere) too low the way fog lights get mounted then realized after looking at a friends sportster with driving lights mounted on the sides of the headlight that higher is...

    Question Self cancelling indicators

    Motorcycles are garbage. My 1992 BMW K75S had self canceling signal lights. They were perfect - they don't cancel until the bike goes over 25 or 30mph. A couple of years ago I added piezoelectric speakers / buzzers to my handlebars so I don't forget my signal lights on. Cars have had them...

    Where do you think I should stick it?

    Anywhere, almost no one rides motorcycles in the US. I've forgotten my keys in the trunk in plain site at Walmart at night - homeless everywhere and nothing missing. Basically, anywhere out of site will do. I'm planning to do the same thing.

    Battery drain question

    Should not be needed. I was gone for over 2 months and when I got back - bike started with no problem. Live in San Diego where it doesn't get cold but still no maintainer should be needed especially after 5 days or even a few weeks. Over the winter or any long storage - definitely.

    Need Help Cheap throttle lock install goes wrong.

    It's definitely not for everyone and you might consider the type I show near the end of the video where applying the brake cancels the throttle lock. Interestingly, my 1992 bmw k75s had a factory throttle lock in the form of a large screw that adds resistance to the throttle assembly.

    Need Help Cheap throttle lock install goes wrong.

    Household solid wire 15 or 12 AWG - Throttle Lock Works better than anything I have ever used because it requires minor adjustment, is ultra slim, never wears out and is probably the only universally compatible solution that works with all grips, handlebars, thickness, heated grips and other...

    Back to Black - The forever edition - restoring faded plastic

    That will absolutely prevent fading. In my case I as I looked at the faded plastic from 7 years of uncovered storage outside I kept hearing: The Living Years by Mike + the Mechanics "It's too late (it's too late) when we die (oh when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye...." and for time I...
