I experimented with dense foam and marine vinyl to build up my stock seat, to get it several inches higher for myself, after finding that the "professionals"...
I'm leaving the bike in the driveway this winter (Dec, Jan, Feb) because of a sincere belief that each month will see at least one above-freezing day in which...
A fully charged battery will not freeze but a once-a-month ride will not be enough to keep it up. You'll need some sort of Battery Tender hooked to it if you...
Speaking of battery tenders, I tried hooking one up. But found that the screws for my battery wouldn't hold the inside threads on the terminals in attaching...
Yep. You buy the same size and thread count and add a couple of milimeters length. You can match thread count by holding the sample backwards against the new...
Thanks, Brady, for the info on the screws. Two rides a month keeps our little battery charged? As to weather ... Yeah, lucky we in the Bay Area don't have...
I just bought a battery tender at Pep Boys for 20 bucks. It came with both type of cable ends to attach to the battery, the circle ones I assume you are...
Keeping the ringed cable on so I don't have to pull apart my seat and side cover for every time I hook up the battery tender seems a good idea to me. My bike's...
Thanks for the help. WE did not get the nighthawk. My son was very disapointed. He is the only one in the family who doesn't have a motorcycle and we are...

... My boyfriend just said let's go get a "battery tender" so I assumed that was what it was called. Actually, though, the one I got does do maintenance - it...
Love the look of your bike in the photos section. Could you give me some information about the Fairing and Mirrors you used. I know the handlebars are...
I have a battery tender on the pick up and the bike. Either vehicle not being driven is keeping the charge up and the float charge keeps the battery from...
... I took the recommendation of moose paws and picked myself up a pair. Got them friday, and today was 30 degrees and sunny so decided it was a good day to...
Is it ok to leave the bike sit over winter with the oil drained? Once the snow hits here (which will be soon), I'll be winterizing my bike. I'm also going to...
I suppose an empty crankcase would not cause any trouble, internal parts have a good oil film. Put some tape over the ignition switch so you won't forget the...
I dunno what I did the other day when working on my bike. But this evening I found that Beauty had completely lost 1st gear (and neutral). Didn't realize...
Also if the air filter smells like gas, would it be better to replace it? Yvonne Yvonne, just make certain that the air filter is still clean. I recently...
... I've used the Green Light Trigger on several bikes. The widget is just a strong magnet about the size of a pack of gum encased in a plastic box that is...
Ay caramba! So inspired by pacnwfoto (Jon?), I went over to Beauty, removed her tarp and blanket, and with the wind blowin' and the tree limbs moving rather...
... The only job of that bolt and nut is to secure the clutch lever to the bracket. To adjust the clutch, slide back the rubber boot, loosen (counter- ...
At first, I thought everyone was talking about <a href="http://www.themirt.com">these things</a> which are (or at least should be) totally illegal. (Can you...
... You might try to email Westernsaga directly, off list. In the interim, here is some info that should help... The generic Cafe 1/4 fairing is cloned by...
... It doesn't work all the time, but I've tripped a few long signal lights with a camera strobe. Flashes for film cameras such as the popular Vivitar 283...
... I heard on the radio several months ago about a guy getting arrested with one of those. I believe it was in Southern Cal. He was using it to make his...
Hello, In my last chain set,when she was old and so the chain was stretched, it touched the central stand of the cb 250. Now i have a new chain (for about...
