    MADSTAD Windshield Review

    I have one. Works great for long trips, really cuts down on rider fatigue. I take it off for around town and put the stock back on.

    Rick Mayer Seat

    Here you go. Seat cost about $300. I did a ride in and it took about half a day for 2 bikes.

    Valve Clearance ADJUSTMENT

    Just over 25k miles. OCI's are between 3 and 5k miles, full synthetic. Miles are mostly touring but she does see full rpm range every ride. I was surprised as well that they were tight. I measured them all multiple times because I figured I was wrong.

    Valve Clearance ADJUSTMENT

    I wrote that partially incorrectly. Not all of my valves were out of spec, but the ones that were, were too tight. See chart below, all values are metric (mm).

    Rent a Valve Shim Kit 7.48mm, restock, return, send it again

    Wish I would've checked in on this thread, just bought a shim kit. All of my exhaust valves are too tight, intakes are all good.

    FS: V35 Givi hard cases

    Gone- I have 2 matching lock cylinders with collars and 4 keys I'll send for free if someone wants them. Not doing me any good sitting in my garage.

    Givi Brake+Signal on Same LED Strip

    I used admore lighting on my givi sidecases to do just this. 2 wire led's and their controller switches them from running lights to brake to turn signals. Maybe you could get one of their controllers to do this for your top case.

    Rent a Valve Shim Kit 7.48mm, restock, return, send it again

    Re: WTB - Valve Shim Kit 7.48mm, complete or partial I'm doing my valve checks this winter and am willing to toss the shim kit to this (assuming I have to buy any).

    Shad 42 side cases -- too big? too good a deal to pass up?

    I have givi v35 cases on mine and leave them on all the time. Most of my riding does not require that much space but I don't even notice they are there. Cost me a fair bit more than $400 for cases with racks.

    K & N filter oil

    Tip for lining up the battery screw with lots of terminals. If you cut a plastic wall anchor in half and shove it under the nut, it will keep the nut up so the screw can reach easier. Plus since the anchor is plastic, it will squish when you tighten it. :)

    New tire time - PR 2's or 4's

    I am in the same boat. My PR2's are dead after 16k miles. Decided to go with PR4's this time as I ride in the rain often. I'll be happy if they do at least as well as the 2's did.

    Help! Need input on residental electrical tools

    You can use the trace tool on a neutral and ground. We only really use those when we need to know where in a wall a wire runs. Your best bet is to start at the panel and work forward. If it is an older house, they liked to wire the hots into the lights first and then drop out. May be somewhere...

    HID Projector Help

    I have the morimoto set up in my bike. I've been running projector hids for 3 or 4 years now. I have seen a decrease in the amount of people that pull out in front of me during the day, especially at night. As to your other question, mine runs the d2s bulbs.

    Not a Good day

    This is what I've got for brake lights. Can't have too many as far as I'm concerned. Side cases also blink with turn signals. Modulator on the center.
