    Hacked a 2 wire LED "Ebay Cheepo" into a 3 Wire LED "Ebay Cheepo"

    I don't know if this helps since the only thing I know about electricity is that it can and will shock me. But another member posted this about POD lights in another old thread "The way this mod works is when you wire into the positive of the running light and positive of the turn signal...

    YAST (Yet Another Suspension Thread)

    I would say the reason 80% is quoted as upgrading the springs is that the springs do all the work. So if you change out the springs you can put in exactly what you want. That being said with the stock forks you ONLY get exactly what you buy the springs at. If you upgrade the forks to...

    BD43's mod saved my butt today!

    Another thing that works well with BD43's harness is two different intensity bulbs to get different 'colors'. Even if slightly different it does a lot to catch someones attention. I have a normal white one and one that lookes orange/red in the housing. People have said it is easier to see me...

    22k+ miles on my tires time for new ones

    I have gotten over 22k miles out of my pilot road 2 tires and still have some tread on them for a few thousand more. However I have to say goodbye. The tires have been on the bike since 06 (I have owned the bike 2 years) and the tread is starting to show cracks due to their age. Not to...

    What would cause this problem? is it TPS?

    Kill switch has been wired up for two weeks and the problem has not resurfaced. After wiring the kill switch I also did a bolt check and found that one of the bolts holding in the ECU had worked itself completely loose so the ECU was actually able to bounce around. I have an inspection coming...

    Pet Peevs? Cager behaviour?

    You guys have tame cagers. I like the ones who make left turns from the right lane and right turns from the left lane especially when the road is five lanes across. I also hate Prius drivers just out of principal.

    Givi and Two Brothers - are they friends ?

    I believe it has been done there should be a post on it here somewhere. That being said I have the Shad setup on mine with the 2bros.

    What would cause this problem? is it TPS?

    Ok I will try this today. It is tough for me to be methodical and go step by step with long testing breaks in between because without a garage the weather usually tells me when I can and can't work on the bike so there is usually a flurry of activity all in one weekend. I put in some seafoam...

    What would cause this problem? is it TPS?

    I'm leaning this way now. This weekend I checked all the electrical and even replaced my plugs. The test ride went fine yesterday but I stalled again this morning. Any more information on what you did to fix the problem?

    What would cause this problem? is it TPS?

    Could the short be anywhere that is causing the issue? I have the dual headlight mod, put in pod lights, as well as have an additional brake light on my topcase. Those would be the second place I would looks after the kill switch. Thanks

    What would cause this problem? is it TPS?

    Well I changed the air filter and was 100% problem free for almost a month and now it is back again. Yesterday coming home I was doing 75 mph and then complete lack of throttle response for 2-3 seconds and then it came back fine. 15 minutes later at 30 mph the bike started chugging/bucking...

    What would cause this problem? is it TPS?

    Well the good and bad news is it isn't the kill switch... I opened the housing and it was just loose so I tightened everything up... after I started it up it was idling rough and cut off again... pulled the air filter and it is in pretty bad shape... all the pollen has done a number on it...

    What would cause this problem? is it TPS?

    Over the past 6 months my bike has stalled while sitting at lights maybe 2 or 3 times. I just assumed the bike was cold and the idle was low, plus I have a very loose cutoff switch that when jiggled (not flipped) can sometimes cut the bike off. In the past month I noticed to maintain a speed...

    Ottimoto Adjustable Rearsets

    I have mine assembled but have been waiting for some warmer weather to do the install (no garage). The only problem I faced with the assembly, as mentioned int he other thread, was one of the bolts holes should have been countersunk or a longer bolt provided. I ust used a drive and slowly...

    Two Bros, just how loud?

    I have the TBs installed and kept my entire OEM fender. You put on the supplied FE that comes with the TBs. Then you gently flex that and the rear fender so you can run a bolt through it. I've had it that way since the trip to the dragon last summer without any issues and I ride it everyday...

    Rate your chicken strips

    Seriously? How about this instead: "Do your buddies brag about how far over they can lean their bike? Do you also lack the same comparative intelligence as a 5 year old? If so we now offer this 5 year old with each tire purchase. Not only can he tell you which tire has more wear on it he...

    Profiling?

    The problem with security searches wouldn't be as big if they were truely random. The problem is they aren't random. The secuirty searches happen when the 'inspector' is done with the prior person. How easy is it to beat a system when all you have to do is wait until the designated...
