Has anyone installed these. All the ads say they should be installed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic. Is this true or can they be installed in the field. ...
... Qualified mechanic?? Bah. Simple mechanical skills. Takes little time but there are some issues. 1. Sometimes the OEM bolts can be tough to get out. They...
... PS. Always use BLUE loctite on these bolts and adjust the torque accordingly for a 'wet' torque vs a dry torque. I think mine are torqued to about 16ft...
I installed mine, no problems, like JD says, install all the pieces loose, when it's all fit up then tighten and torque. I didn't swap out any nuts and bolts,...
... I agree. I just push the bar as far as I can, hence the SS A4 bolts. Besides, I like the way they look against the black bars. The GIVI bolts can get...
It ended up being the seal for the clutch push rod. A local dealer said to put some heavy duty grease in where the rod goes through the seal, then put some...
I recommend that you find a little jar of REAL O-Ring and Seal lubricant. "Load'er up with bahr grease" is a bit too backwoods for my liking. While you are...
Hey, I was forced to buy a chrome vance & hines 4 into one for my GS750(soon to be a 834 or 931) and I don't like chrome, plus i'm trying to make this bike...

I have used Marvel Mystery Oil for many years in all my air tools - a lot cheaper than the overpriced crap they sell as "air tool lubricant" and I can buy it...
I have not used it and this is why. Marvel Mystery oil is designed to make engine parts very slippery. Most motorcycle clutches run in the engine oil. I...

Jet Hot is good stuff. I had the silver. You can polish the silver with a mild polish when it dulls. Comes out good as new. Also, if your doing the cafe thing,...
... have to know exactly how to apply it and it is quite embarassing to discuss the details in public. ... I use my right index finger. Maybe I'll post a...
After 15000 miles of fun, my Vstrom won't start. I fell over on it for the umpteenth time, this time the bike ended up tires higher than seat, but still...
Sounds like a loose or dirty battery cable, at the battery under your seat, check the easy stuff first Tom. :) g ... From: "t.ahawk" <t.ahawk@...> To:...
I'm with Gary. Go for the easy stuff 1st. I learned that the hard way when I had a truck & trailer en route to a really remote location & discovered the...
