    Strange clicking noise in my new(ish) truck..

    So, I bought a new (to me) truck a few months ago and it's been a pretty good vehicle. It's an 06 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 4.3 V6. I got a pretty good deal on it, and I'll be using it to move in a few months and maybe to haul the bike somewhere and have an awesome ride (possibly to Deal's...

    DDM 35W 5000K HIDs in the Buell headlights

    One of my headlights went out recently (turned out to be a kink in the wire rather than the bulb :spank:), so I decided to get some new brighter headlights, since I do a lot of night riding. I work 3pm-12am, so I actually do MOST of my riding at night. Anyway, I bought the DDM tuning kit...

    Question about bar ends

    I've been trying to find an alternative to bar end weights since they are too expensive IMO (especially for the ones that include slots for mounting bar end mirrors to). So, I've been thinking about filling my aftermarket handlebar with something to weigh it down. I opted to file down the nubs...

    Quick picture of my newly painted rearsets..

    It looks so much better black since I have almost everything else black.

    Links in Signatures

    How do I get permission to post links in my signatures? Do I need to have a certain number of posts, or do I need to be an admin? Do I need to be a premium or an elite member before I can post links in signatures, or do I just not have my permissions set correctly? I looked in the FAQ, and...

    Black/Purple Motorcycle Grips

    I have been having a very difficult time trying to find black/purple grips for the FZ. I have this image in my head with my FZ6 having the purple Hyperpro spring, black/purple grips, black CRG levers w/purple adjusters, and my already purple wheel stripes. ::drool:: Anyway, back to the task...

    Front signals not working..

    I bought 2 sets of new signals a while back whenever I installed the fender eliminator because the stock signals are so huge. Had them on before I did my Buell conversion and everything was working fine. Put the front signals on after doing the conversion and I accidentally stripped all of the...

    My Buell Conversion!!

    It still needs work (new front turn signals after breaking the ones I had :spank:, cleanup of wires behind screen, aiming the headlights down, and a good wash), but here she is. :rockon:

    For those of you with the Buell headlight/windscreen setup...

    I searched around and haven't been able to find the answer to this question. How do you guys mount the speedo? Do you just hack up the fairing stay?

    Wiring for Alarm

    I already searched around the forum and was trying to find what other folks had done with their alarms, but mine seems a little different. Maybe it's the whole chinese-english translation, but I'm not sure which wires these guys are talking about. I posted this in the thread about the alarm...

    Changing Login/Logout Settings

    Is there a way I can change the logout settings? Specificallly, it logs me out after a set amount of time of inactivity. I would like to turn that option off. I'd like to have the website up and stay logged in without having to keep clicking links every so often so I don't get logged out. Is...

    The Obligatory "Lowside" Thread

    Well, I had my second wreck 2 nights ago. First one was a highside on a Ninja 250. This one was not as bad. I was practicing emergency breaking on a street very near my house, when I gave her too much front brake, locked up the front wheel, and BAM, next thing I know, I'm on the ground. I...

    dturpen, moopie, and friends take a ride!

    My wife, a couple of buddies of mine, and moopie and her husband all went on a ride from Russellville to Hot Springs on Highway 7, and we all had a blast. Before the ride even started, one of my friends lost an exhaust trim piece that we has just painted on his Honda 599 :(. And moopie...

    Radiator Side Panels/Covers

    I took my radiator covers off to paint them black, and they turned out really good. However, I didn't tighten the screws on one side tight enough and the left radiator cover fell off. Well, I ordered a new one from ronayers, but until then, it bugs me that I'm missing one. Is it ok if I just...
