If you don't have a cat and just a Y-pipe, you should be able to access it with a large hex key. I'm thinking it was a 12mm, but now I can't remember if it was a 12mm or 14mm. If you have a cat, you will need to remove it to access the plug. You can buy a 14 mm hex key and cut the short arm with a ...

For anyone who might be interested in this I found it at http://www.ccoons.com

I have seen a list of Spanish moto words. In fact it is on my HD at home. I'm now in Mexico and need the list. Can someone point me toward it?

This may be silly question but, is there any difference between the QDs from Smallparts vs those from Omega other than the chrome plating? The o-rings on the Small Parts units are internal to the female end and are therefore not easily replaceable as it appears to me. I think there may be photos ov...

If your QD's fail you can replace them with a short piece of steel, brass or copper tubing of the appropriate size. Thanks cc. I'll probably do that in the interim. Do you have any recommendations as to what diameter tubing I should buy? The fuel line is 8mm so I used some 5/16ths O.D. tubing. Copp...

[quote="boxermania"]soldat.....with due respect, I don't believe one bit the theory that your tires will get flat spots if you keep your bike on the center stand for the winter. First, like someone mentioned, the R1150R is so well balanced, naked that is, that it touches very lightly on th...

[quote="yjleesvrr"]Well, whaddya know? After I installed the battery in my Roadster, I put a hairline crack in the neck of one of my quick disconnects while trying to put them back together. There goes my Sunday ride. :roll: [quote] If your QD's fail you can replace them with a short piece...

What did you make your mounts from,.......somthing obtainable by the rest of us or hand fabricated? If hand fabricated,......sounds like a nice part time job with some interest here for sure. They are carved from a block of black plastic. IIRC it was ABS, but lots of other plastics would work as we...

i need some info on a more compfortable seat ,ive had the stock one for a couple of long trips but after 5,6 hours im a ach'en. im 5'11 and about 200 lbs :wink: please be specific and were i can get it. I have the Russell seat. It is about 4320 times better than the stock low or high seat. The stoc...

The clutch line however could not be rotated out of the way even after I dremelled the stop on the perch down. Perhaps my bike's factory braided lines are different than pre 04's rubber hoses. Anyway, on and ready for warmer hands on cold rides. I didn't like the factory mounts so made my own. The ...

Airman, Well, I did say that it is to get the bigger box for a lowered exhaust, in the last line. Thanks anyway. The guy is taking his box back. I will get the rt inner half of the set for the bigger capacity. Don't be too hasty. To my knowledge the only bags that fit the stock R bracket are those ...

Did you ever think how much easier it would be to adjust if the pins were switched around? That is, the fixed pin on the left and adjustable on the right. That way the wheel could be rocked while adjusting, not to mention the ease of adjusting at a later time becasue the wheel can be left on the bi...

Greetings, I'm looking around at GPS brackets and I'm wondering what anyone else is using. I'm lookinag at Garmin's 60CSx. Cycle Gadgets has a cradle for the GPS unit, but I'm looking for a way to attach the cradle to the bike. A couple of comments. I use the 60C but want a 60Cx. Last time I looked...

Here is my R packed for indefinite length travel. Includes 2 man tent, sleeping bag, thermarest, clothes etc. The tank bag expands up 1½ inches to accomodate my 4-man tent when I have company.

I know it can be done. I know technique is everything - Technique is important, but sometimes tools help. My SO was having problems getting her F650GS on the centerstand in the garage. We got a foot long piece of 1x12 that she kicks under the front of the rear wheel . She then pushes the bike FORWA...

So how does the tread life compare to the Z4 and Z6.

Thanks.

I'm not inclined to manufacture these, but I can supply a rudimentary drawing if you or someone else wants to make them.

Well, I finally got the bag to fit and made a lower mount.



All I need now is a few thousand miles on it to see if it will be OK.
