  1. That looks great meddle! I've been wanting to do something like that for a while!
  2. Stich....check Givi Trunk....check Touring Windscreen....check Must be a tourist he thought. :lol: Sounds like "Mr. Mille" didn't know who he was messin with. Saw some pictures of that castle a few months ago in a ride report. I'm definitely gonna try to make it north next summer.
  3. I tried the gloves and hated them... my hands slid around too much in them. I just wear thick leather and use the heated grips. I think over the last year I have become winterized I tried on a pair of the Gerbing G3's and will agree with you on the sliding bit but last weekend at the cycle show I tried on a pair of Powerlet gloves. They felt much better like a standard pair of gloves in my opinion.
  4. Another vote for the Gerbings here. Last year I had to ride 400 miles in 35 degrees to get home with only heated grips and not nearly enough clothes. As soon as I parked the bike I walked inside the house and ordered the Gerbings. No more freezing rides....gloves are next.
  5. How about some daylight photos? :idea3: Good luck on the swingarm. I'm anxious to see how it turns out even though I'm probably not up to going that far on mine. As far as the stripping goes I would just have it blasted and save you a LOT of work.
  6. I've been eyeballing this thing for a while but haven't found any decent reviews yet.
  7. Hell, I don't even have a garage. :goofy:
  8. Don't forget the radiators! :beer:
  9. Lookin' good! Now get to work on those other silver bits! B)
  10. Now that looks suh-weeeet but most things high-end bicycling are high $$$. Are these? Probably so. I'm trying to keep this cheeeeeep. Cheap for me cause I've got one stashed away. That one is a 96-97 vintage and was in the $70-$80 range new. Checking the orphaned parts bin at a bike shop might turn up something cheap.
  11. Pretty slick. :thumbsup: For some reason it made me think about using an oldschool Campagnolo bicycle headset.
  12. The site says it's no longer available but it would be pretty cool I guess.
  13. I couldn't tell for sure which camera you have but mine(Canon 620) will accept lens adapters. It's threaded so you can stick a 58mm UV filter on the front for protection. Lens Adapter Oh yeah.....video looks good to me. :thumbsup:
  14. Oh yeah, I hit mine all the time with my winter gloves. I hit the horn everytime I cancel the turn signals. I don't worry about it. Sure I get some "what the hell" looks but I don't care.
  15. This? That's a chop I did way back there. I don't think I'll ever get to paint the frame either. Once you paint the frame then you'll have to paint the valve covers and head that shows too.
  16. Lookin' good man!! :thumbsup: I highly recommend painting the radiators too!
  17. I have just enough room for the tab on the Sargent... not sure if my stock seat will still fit or not. It took several beers and test fittings before I picked a mounting location :P :unsure:
  18. Looks good but how does your seat fit? One of the tabs on the bottom of the stocker and Sargent seat will slide down between the center spar and the Centech unit. You were smart in putting your +/- connectors on the opposite side. My seat has started rubbing on my negative cable a little. I've been hesitant to hack the tab off of my $300 Sargent though.
  19. Nice job man! For the record, I've got a Bel Vector 995. No chance in hell I could afford a V1. The reason your tailight keeps going out is because of the extra heat from your brake light always being on!! :lol:
  20. You're the man!! That's a slick idea. :thumbsup:
  21. Nice shots!! I see that the mirrors are taped. Aren't the headlights and blinkers supposed to be also?
  22. Looks good!!! I had wondered about some type of spacer but.....$7 for each??
  23. OK, so how many times have you made a beautiful solder joint only to realize you forgot to slip the heat shrink on first?? I hate when I do that!!
  24. I seriously considered that Whistler but l wound up going with a standard detector. I've had my detector mounted under the front cowl for a while and only hit the fender once on a big pothole. Oh and I'm no lightweight either. Can't wait to hear how well it works.
