On the first section... WHAT touring racks? There is not touring racks on my bike. The bags are bolted directly to the fender rails via the bolts with washers to tightly hold the bags. What I want is studs which the bracket can slip over, and uses three nuts to hold the bags in place. When I...

lol, I'll take a look at the bike shops, but you taking the fun out of making stuff! (I never did think of looking in a bicycle shop)

The g's frame is different, more a standard than a cruiser.

Is this for the 650g? I am in need of a new seat.

I have been thinking about my saddlebags lately. Thinking how I do like the convenience of having them hard mounted, but wishing I could easily remove them. I also dont much care for the fact that, with the way I have them mounted, they happen to be starting to look like they have gone through...

Actually, if I had the money and a halfway decent shop to work in, I think I would want one of them for a custom bike project. Swap out that DN-01 motor for a regular tranny version from the NT-700, and convert it to chain drive, and move the controls to a bit more agressive stance, and I think...

Sent to me by a good friend of mine: 2012 European Threat Alerts by John Cleese The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in the Middle East and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet...

I will be registering the Yammie next month, and I said to myself, "Self, you need a personalized plate, what do you want?" I browsed and found that these six are available. Which one should I get?

So Yamaha wired this bike like a Jaguar? :shrug: Well, maybe I can somehow make it look a bit better... look less... British I guess lol As long as it's ok, then I guess I start checkin everything. I figured looking at this, someone had played Dr. Butcher, M.D. with the harness. If the...

I will be cleaning them out... At least the left hand side. The right hand side I would like to get the correct housing for. It doesn't help that it looks like he taped the bloody thing together on that one. The charging system is fine... it's the STARTER that is what needs work on. As for...

lol May just take you up on that offer. If you ever see a marroon and cream colored Shadow tearing through town it just might be me. (untill I get the XS up and on the road, then it could be either lol)

I think I need to get a bunch of pics of all the wiring... Even if the wiring is pretty much ok, it STILL looks butchered all to hell. And the headlight did not come on when I fired up the bike. (yes, it will engage when cold half the time, but once warmed, then it wont... would that indicate...

Have you looked... I have my siggie listing my two bikes And the battery is receiving plenty of juice.

lol, I had browsed that site many times, not knowing that they would have a harness there. I shall go there and look to see how much a new one will run me. EDIT: Very reasonable price. I shall have to order it. WOW! I see that a previous owner wired in an older style brake side switch...

Ok, This bike I bought has quite a few electrical gremlins, and looking at the wiring harness, it looks like someone attempted to butcher it with a blender. :wtf: The turn signal lights only come on on the left, and then they wont blink. The headlight wont work at all. The brake light only...

If you can find just the right baffles, you can end up with a nice, broad torque curve and a really nice sound. (the reason I like the current exhaust on my Honda. Flows awesome up top, but with just enough restriction down low...) Looking at them pipes, I imagine you'll have some great top...

It all started as a child... wait -_-; Wrong type of help lol And I will get pics of my XS on here tomorrow. Along with some details on what I want to do with her.

Nice curves on those. They baffled in any way? Also, could I see some nice pics of the tank? It kinda looks like the nice jeweled finish on a Weatherby bolt.

lol Thats where I do all the work on my two bikes. Sadly, the driveway is 3/4 dirt. Maybe I need to get some sort of 4'x8' plywood or something to put the bike on when I am working on it.

I shall check him out. As long as I can keep scoring sources for what I need, I am golden! Thank you for the link.
