so went on a ride to whistler on my 08 couple weeks back, on the way back the coolant temp was consistently higher than normal. a week later, went riding to squamish and that day was much hotter than the previous week. coolant temp shows 110C. i was convinced there is something wrong. back home...

hi all, sunshinecoast bc, beautiful and relaxing ride ... sky was a bit grey but pics came out nice!!

speaking from experience, depending on where the puncture is, it is sometimes "unsafe" to patch the tire. i work at a car dealership as a mechanic and we have conversations with customers everyday about the "legality" of fixing a tire(its more about liability than anything else, say if u patch a...

im in vancouver bc, and we pay thru the nose for insurance. just insured my bike for 6 month, it cost me $770. that is already cheaper than the full rate since i insure the liability part thru private insurance. im 35, with full discount on my insurance (43% discount). they need to open the...

for us who live in BC, not many choices other than ICBC. i had to pay $1600 a year for insurance, well its about $800 a year since riding season is only about 6 months here, and garage insurance is another $50 a month i think. after few years of riding i was able to insure with a private...

hi all been thinking about doing this ever since i "finished" my conversion (well, its never finished but...) i want to clean up /redo all my wiring to the front of the bike (speedo, headlights, signals, etc..) it is a very tedious job, and takes a long time. i am regreting not using better...

great looking bike!! did my conversion back in 2010, well, a big part of it at least.. finally got it all "done" last year just before the season. and every since, i have been thinking to redo all my wiring job in the front. how did you do yours?? did you do yours so "they all work"?? or did...

during my ride to whistler last week, i experienced the exact same thing as clay did. over 12k rpm, no thrust. i do my own oil change every year in the begining of the season, and i always buy parts from my local yamaha dealer. that being said, this year i have not change oil since last...

i never thought i'd be cheering for the blackhawks...

arai helmets are all hand made (the outer shell) and made by only a handful of guys in japan (i believe all are made by 6 guys in the factory??) saw a demo in a store where the rep stood on the helmet shell and bounced up and down on it. i have had my rr5 for 3 years now and i got nothing to...

03-09 FZ-6 SMOKE SEQUENTIAL INTEGRATED SIGNAL LED Tail Light 04 05 06 07 08 FZ6 | eBay this is what i got on my bike, and its pretty bright!!! i am a picky guy and i am pretty happy with this tail light. only problem i had with it was the flasher rate is out of wack (blinks really fast, all...

a friend of mine is a painter, and he airbrush those flames on my helmet... multicolor dark graphics i guess..

brought back lots of memories seeing your project..lol just wondering about your speedo mount.. does it come with the kit you are waiting on??

i am 5'8", and have the renthal streetfighter bar, couldnt be happier. never tried the fz1 bar so cant really comment, but the renthal is awsome!!!

Ok now, if the parts i bought look anything close to what erci has posted, maybe i would give it a try. Like i said before, maybe he has changed supplier since then, or maybe the supplier has up their game in the quality department, but whatever i have recieved did not come close to what was...

first of all, i didnt come here to offend anyone, and second of all, this is not a reivew on his product. i was simply trying to give my opinion on the kit. and like i mentioned above, maybe his stuff is much better quality now, and i can care less. yes, i contacted him after i recieved the...

i bought a kit (less the headlight) from him back in 2010 when i first got my '08, and the only thing i ended up using is the headlight bracket, and i ended up having to modify it too. the quality of this kit is way below standard IMO. when i got the kit, both mirrors were smashed to pieces (if...

first of all, i think the v-rod headlight is an exellent choice!!!!:thumbup: so here are some pictures while doing the conversion. the headlight mount i bought off a vendor here on this forum. dont know if he is still active, but shouldnt be too hard to find out since everyone buys the...

hey dangtienanh, i've just finish converting my 08 this past summer, but the majority of the work was done couple years ago when i first got the bike. i myself is a ducati monster fan (hence the conversion), and the streetfighter look just suits me. anyways, if i were you, i would worry about...
