I recently had my stator go with close to 50k kmh on my 07. After searching around for options I thought I'd try Custom Rewind and I'm quite happy I did. All three stator segments were going to ground and they were all reading around .5 ohms. On run up at idle two of the three were only around 10v AC, one was around 20v AC. Not much of a change at 5k rpm. I called CR and spoke with Kirk who quoted me $100 for a full rebuild with whatever mods they do to make it run cooler. I mailed it on June 3rd, it arrived Friday the 6th, they had it done and mailed on the following Tuesday. Kirk made of point of telling me that they would get it done quick as a bike sitting in the garage in the summer is no good, that's awesome! I picked it up this morning and got this: I was very happy with the end product, looked quite nice. Install went fine, feeding the cable on removal was much more difficult than feeding it back through on install. I did build up the end of the connector with tape to form a tapered end so when pulling it through it wouldn't catch on anything. I should say that all my connectors looked excellent, no signs of burning, melting or corrosion so all I did was re and re the stator. End result: I'm very happy knowing that the install isn't too hard and that for only $100 there's a hope that it will be a good product. Kirk at Custom Rewind was a super guy, very patient and helpful.

Monk I waited until I started to see this with the mindset of getting all my $$ worth. After putting on the new set though I realized how badly the old squared off ones handled. I think I may be replacing early like you next time.

Wise words.

I bought a HJC IS-16 to try out the internal sun visor. The visor is awesome but holy mother is it a noisy helmet. Brutal is how I would describe it. Earplugs make it bearable but next time a quiet helmet is what I will be shopping for.

I'm in for August 13, 14, 15 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) or August 5, 6, 7 Vote added.

The current Motorcyclist Magazine has an article on the 1200T. They seem to think it will make it's debut this fall and they are saying it will most likely replace the ST1300.

Fantastic ride report, great pics. Thanks for sharing.

Clearly that is my issue, I'm letting my tires rot before I can use them up. Think the wife will buy that...

I guess a lot of it depends on your riding position and where the windstream is getting you in the first place. I recently stuck on the MRA screen as well and it is doing the job nicely. I used to get almost all clean air to my helmet except for the lower chin. Now I get wind all over but much slower. Zero wind to the upper body now too which is where the most comfort is at. I can see that being in all clean air may be nice but will it still be good after 400miles.

My 39th week 2006 stock front was cracking badly in all the channels. Once taken off it looked really bad and that's only about 4 years old... She never really sat in the sun for any long periods and has always been non heated garage kept. Up here in BC the air is actually supposed to be fairly decent on the rubbers too so idunno what to think.

Awesome thanks guys. Total brain fart on that one. So 0910 is 9th week 2010 REAR and 0310 is 3rd week 2010 FRONT. That totally explains why my stockers weren't made in the 39th and 40th months of 2006 :fing02:

Curious, anyone know why my brand new PR2 rear is showing a date code "0910" (September 2010)? I know they're new but pretty sure it's only July right now. The front shows 0310 which makes more sense.

How long do the batteries in the iCombi last. That's been the only thing holding me back from using one with my Zumo. By any chance do you know what voltage it runs, in other words can it be taken apart and wired direct to the bike via a transformer?

They look great, where did ya get em from?
