Threw these on yesterday, originally had them on my BMW but found factory bags for her. I think I'd like them a bit lower and farther forward, but that will entail building full racks for them. These are right on the factory luggage rack and fairly secure. Let me know your thoughts and I'll...

Messing around with bars and such, trying to help with keeping my hands warmer, my elbows less sore and, my none stop search for mirrors that I like. The bars seem comfortable, the guards seem to work against the wind. The mirrors are just about useless. Might try to bend the stems down a...

96 R1100R, with around 30k on it. Asking price is $1200 needs the fuel system gone through. (Pump and injectors included, need to be installed)

Some of you, ok a couple of you were following my cam timing thread. Now that I feel the timing is dialed in I went to reassemble everything and noticed my cam bearings are not feeling very good. Two of them spin smoothly and the other 2 feel like junk. So I ordered 4 new ones koyo 16005. While...

So I've been fighting with tuning since I rephased my motor (8 years ago?) At the time I checked the cam timing and found it 2.5 - 3 degrees retarded (if memory serves) thought how bad could it be and put it together. Re-measured last weekend still getting the same 2.5 - 3 degrees retarded. Now...

Ok so I know there are a ton of carb/flat spot diagnoses posts, I tried searching. Here's my problem. VM 34 rephased, pamco ignition stock mechanical advance. Timing is good, advance seems to work as designed. In 4th or 5th gear around 45-5000 rpms if I roll off the throttle and then back on it...

I feel like someone on here tried one of these, how did it work out? It it worth it? Most importantly it it comfortable?

So I changed out my rectifier for one from Amazon. It's rated for over 1000v and I think like 60 amps, I am going to make a mount for it and my vr115 regulator. Should I go with .125 or .25 aluminum? Also has anyone used syl-glyde as a heat sink grease?

So I'm trying to make these work and still be able to ride 2 up. Problem is they want to occupy the same space as my blinkers... Any ideas? Right now I'm thinking about trying to incorporate a new mounting points into brackets that will hold the bags away from the wheel. Maybe even tie it into...

So I've been trying to find a good LED for the taillight/brake light on my 75 and after trying a cheap Amazon bulb and then way too much research I have settled on the Sylvania ZEVO. It's nice because it actually uses separate LED chips for running vs brake. I found with the cheap bulbs they...

I searched on line and haven't gotten far... I understand it might take away some of the characteristic sound, but how would it affect the performance?

I'm just curious what people get for vacuum readings from a healthy bike? I'm only getting about 15" separate, if I "T" the cylinders together it reads about 12" I think my cam timing is a bit retarded. I rephrased about 8 years ago and have been fighting with tuning ever since. End of last...

Has anyone ever tried making a mold of an original seat pan and making a fiberglass copy? I recovered my seat about 10 years ago, and I really wish I had updated the foam. I'm thinking of redoing it but I don't think the original pan will survive. I think there's enough integrity to make a mold...

Someone suggested these, they're around 13" long what do people think? Has anybody else used them seen them etc?

Trying to pick out my new rear shocks, really just looking at the styling right now. If I like the look and the length works out then I will start shopping for higher quality. These are my options (I know they're not all the correct fit) The bike as it sits now, what do you think, right...

So I converted my 75 to USD forks from a 94 gsxr750. I used all factory gsxr parts, no special clamps or anything. Right m.j ow I have an old set of mikesxs 11.5 rear shocks mounted and it seems to handle well (only like 14 windy cold miles do far). I'd like to go back to stock (12.5?) or maybe...

Fitting the led from a 08 or so Tacoma tail light into my 75 lens. Just need to figure out how to securely mount it and weather proof it.

Just like to title says, is it normal to have some play in the connection between the shift lever and the shaft? Even if a little play is normal, I'm thinking mine has go too much...

Anyone know what this is? It's the same as the connector in the headlight bucket, only 5 of the six pins are used. Wire colors are brown, green/red stripe, white/red stripe, orange? And black? I don't think it's ever been connected to anything and I don't see anything in the wiring diagram.

I threw th his together last year I just cleaned it up for powder coat and I'd love to find something to dress it up a bit. Perhaps a Yamaha emblem or tubing forks? What do you guys think?
