Hi Darius. You inspired me to do the Andreani fork mod. Great write-up. Just to be sure I'm not missing something, you didn't need to install new bushings after filing down the old ones? Just want to be sure I have everything before getting started. Thanks.

Could be either bad battery or regulator or stator. It's pretty easy to check if you have a multi-tester. You can get one cheap at Walmart/Target/etc. Check out this video to figure it out: How to Check a Motorcycle Battery | Expert Village Videos Hope this helps. Tim

Reminds me of Chris Rock's "How to not get your @$$ kicked by the police" rule #3: "If the cops gotta come after you...they're bringin' an @$$ kickin' with 'em" YouTube - Chris Rock - How not to get your ass kicked by the police!

Yeah, I think it was painted by Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem....Looked better on the Studebaker though. Can you picture that...

$1000 and 5-10 years w/o liscense wouldn't be fun, but neither would this: http://bikerpunks.com/videos/police-officer-uses-his-vehicle-to-take-out-a-runner.html

Don't feel bad. I just put the motivation sliders on my bike. Lemme guess. It was the right leg side of the bike that the bolt wouldn't go in? I had the exact same problem and ended up messing up the threads on the motivation bolt. I was pissed and didn't want to hassle with motivation so I...

Looks like I'm gonna need part # 10 from the Ronayers microfiche...I was parked in downtown chicago this weekend and a less than attentive person backed up and knocked my FZ6 over. They sped off to avoid getting caught from what a witness tells me, and no one got the license plate number...

Umm, I've noticed some folks discounting the effect of driver weight on milage. I'm guessing that our 116 pound new rider is going to get pretty good milage (assuming he drives the same as some 280lb riders). I'm 145lb with a 100lb girlfriend. My mileage DEFINITELY changes when she's on the...

Hi all, Last night I was riding up lakeshore drive in chicago and thought to myself that it'd be nice to have something thin to put on under my riding gear when it's cold, but not so cold that I pull out the full winter suit. I was thinking either the normal FOTL thermal underwear, but someone...

Nice explanation. But I think 2+5+9+14+49 = $79. We're a dollar short...Finally, the national deficit is clear..... :)

Oops, nevermind. My question was answered many times over in this post. Thanks!

Maybe I missed it, but I was wondering if when you flip between low and high beam if you have both lamps on in each case? If so, then this mod is EXACTLY what I'm looking for! Thanks for the post.
