brother john. Perhaps I just missed posts on how you/one converts from conventional bulbs to LEDs on this bike? Care to share your tips on how to locate LED...
I got the red LED replacements for the rear at Discount Auto Parts for $7.95. The clears 1157 replacements for the front are REALLY expensive - about $20 each...
Since many of us are adding guages, and the Cyclesmith teardrop- shaped guage pod in the Custom Chrome catalog is only made for 1- 1/4" bars, I'm issuing a...
This beautifully written piece by Alan is from the Reource Board: Jim, It sounds like your electrical problem is similar to mine, but maybe a little worse. My...
On the Resource Board, Alan mentioned that Jamie added a ground strap to his engine. I learned with Harleys that innefective grounding can cause all sorts of...
Xman1564, Joe Spears, "does business" on e-Bay. I sent him money in May and have not received my patches. He does NOT respond to e- mail. Phone calls result...
John, one problem with reversing the battery is that the positibe cable may not reach over to the far side. If you removed the fake oil cover and play with the...
Frank, I plan to put a switch between the positive battery terminal and the positive lead. So I'll actually be shortening the original cable and adding a new...
I've tried Suzuki, Honda, and Yamaha lenses, but no success. Yamaha was close but the screw holes were farther apart. I'll check Harley and Kawasaki...
Better stock up on spare turn signal lenses for your bikes. EH did NOT copy anyone else's lenses that I can find. I tried Harley, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and...
A couple of years ago I moved my front turn signals from the bars to the front forks. I built my (hollow) stalks and powdercoated them. I got some short...
... Checvk out this link John http://eaglemotorcycle.com/TorpedoBulletDakota.asp It says it will fit 1" or 1 1/4" handlebars but it also says it fits Dakota...
Mike, I would think that any 2-1/16" guage should fit. I saw this one before but had decided against it because I wanted a clamp-on mount. I had since...
From the Resource Board: Last Summer Ken Bretz had his ignition switch fall apart so I started looking at how this thing was put together. I was not impressed...
We now have at least four options for dealing with our weak ignition switch: 1. Bobby's new switch, housing, and bracket 2. Steve's newly engineered handle and...
I'm looking at a second X which has a lot of peeling chrome, including the rims. The spec sheet and owner's manual says the wheels are "stainless steel spoked....
John, The hub is chrome plated aluminum and I think the rim is chrome plated aluminum as well (might be stainless). It's definitely not steel though. Jim...
That means I could dip the wheels, getting rid of the flaking chrome and then keep them polished. I dunno; sounds like a LOT of routine polishing work!...
I trust everyone had a merry Christmas, and I pray that all of you have a blessed new year. I started mine out today with 150 mile ride (my first fairly long...
On my 100+ mile ride today, I found wind buffeting with the stock windshield to be quite pronounced at 70-80 mph. It was beating me about the face neck and...
Jim, I did as you did, and the wind buffeting is greatrly reduced. ThanX! I'd still like more wind protection, but I'm not ready for a a full-face helmet...
I punched the baffles out of my stock mufflers and they're definitely louder, but I still don't have that low rumble I'm used to (with my Harley and...
I went to put new 4" lights in my driving lights and found something interesting.... The right light (sitting on the bike) as 3 wires. 2 red ones and a black...
Ed, I'm going out to take my lights apart and take a look for myself. I keep reading about driving light wiring problems, but since I NEVER use mine, I...
