Stephen, I'm not a TOTAL nimrod. There's dust cover halfway between the handlebar mount, and the actual mirror itself. I've never encountered this type of...
That nut under the dust cover allows you to adjust the mirror. Tighten the nut just enough for the mirror can stay firm in the wind, but rotate if the bike...
My apologies Dallas. It did seem like an obvious question :-) . Clearly, I misunderstood you. Hope you find a solution to the pronlem. Cheers, Steve ... From:...
Yeah it's not bad. I got some once for around $85 a couple years ago, cheapest I'd ever seen, but even that place is selling them for $105 these days. Matt V....

This should be as much fun as an oil thread! I have used up a lot of chains. The bitter taste of poor quality lasts far longer than the sweetness of a low...

I have plugged a number of tires with great success. The key I think is to carefully evaluate where and how big the puncture is, the likelihood of radiating...
... Speaking of which - be sure to swap out he sprockets, too. If the chain is toast, the sprockets aren't in the best shape, either. Guess what happens to a...
You should get 15K-20K out of a set of chain and sprockets with proper adjustment and lubrication. Just as Michael indicated, if one is worn and the other...
Good advice.Thanks! I still hate to change what look like new sprockets.Better safe than sorry. Mark,Mike i still would like to read your description of the...
Bad sprockets look ugly - just plain ugly. Just compare a sprocket with about 10,000 miles on it to a new sprocket, and when the obvious hooking, bulging...
