    Fender eliminator broke - not good

    Went on a 45 minute ride. Not sure when it happened could have even been before I left but got to where I was going and FE was hanging. Most of the ride was highways and at one point a bus flashed me but had no idea why. Well now I have a mangled plate, messed up rear tire, none of my turn...

    Can't shift - Need help

    Half way home my clutch became useless. I was able to get home with a combo of shutting it down at stops. I found the culprit to be that the guide for the clutch cable isnt bolted in place. So when i pull the clutch in the cable is rising up rather than pulling in. Looks like im missing a bolt...

    Help me fix her after our accident

    I had posted in another thread that I went down. Now I need to get her all healed up. When I went down it was on the right side and the frame slider took most of the abuse. Three things though need attention: 1) I leaked out some coolant and now she is running hot. Am I ok to just replace...

    Phone Case/Holder Options

    So I have a garmin nuvo but usually only use it on longer rides not around town. Sometimes I need to go somewhere and having my gps on my phone would be handy. I have seen some nice cases that go on the handle bars or I also have a ball mount on mine. The phone I have is a Samsung Galaxy S2...

    Beyond my repair - Taking her to shop (Advice Needed)

    So I went to take my bike in to work so I could do the brake caliper rebuild with new seals when I noticed that the front left fork was leaking. It would have been nice to find this two weeks ago before everyone was taking their bikes in for tune ups but I did happen to find a good very local...

    Moved bike after sitting through snow this past month = not happy

    So I moved my bike after it being snowed in the past month. I just rolled it across the street for alternate side parking and at first I had to check if it was in gear than thought maybe a tire was flat. I guess from sitting so long and salt, snow dirt it is kinda tough to move. My friend...

    My bike evidently came with a coolant reservoir - now what?

    I don't know if its my old age or just complete ignorance but I just noticed my coolant reservoir on my bike. Since I obviously never touched it before and in trying to shine a flashlight in there I am pretty sure it is empty. How do I go about filling it and what to use? Pretend I am stupid...

    Lost Turn Signal Lense - Alternatives to Clear Alternatives

    I just got to work and noticed that one of the clear lenses on one of my clear alternatives turn signals fell off. I was really hoping I could just buy another signal assembly or at the very least a pair as I have them both front and back. It seems clear alternatives is no longer in business...

    Camera Mount (relocate horn)

    I was thinking of relocating my horn from under the front cowling and using the bracket there to mount a camera. Any thoughts on whether this would be a good mounting spot and if so where to relocate the horn (or even replace with different model)?

    I'm pissed - Someone moved my bike

    Last night I got home really late and there happened to be a parking spot. Normally I won't take a regular spot but I had a contractor (friend) coming in the morning to look at my house so I decided to save it by parking like a car. Well this morning I come down to find my bike parked like we...

    Think I need a new battery

    I picked up my bike from my buddies garage where it was all winter. Before putting it in I had some issues with it not starting when cold. I asked him to charge it before I got it but the alarm kept going off meaning it had gone completely dead. I had him pull the alarm and charge it up and...
