Thank you! Yes free is good.

Lol this thread is funny. My bike is the one that was used by darth to make the mounts for the fifth gen. I run gsxr mirrors and lobsters extenders. its funny I haven't logged in here In probably 2 years. if I can help let me know most likey I could go knock on his door and potentially get the dimensions I know he put a lot of time Into getting them right. so you may consider them his intellectual property. but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to ask and I need to go pick up one of my Rear rims anyway.

Has anyone tried to run a 190 rear tire on an 8 spoke rear rim. I'm considering putting it on my 5th Gen and I know that the 8 spoke rim is a half an inch thinner then the standard 5 spoke my 5th gen came with. I was given a brand new set of tires and my budget won't allow me to go buy tires right now.

even this could be made to work. Although I think its too short. http://www.amazon.com/Roadpro-Battery-Cigarette-Lighter-Adapter/dp/B00065L2D8/ref=pd_bxgy_auto_img_b

the plug for the zumo most likely wont be right and will fry or under fry your phone. doing it the right way would be best as VFR wiring aint the best. an easy solution is to buy this http://www.amazon.com/RoadPro-RP-203EC-Extension-Cigarette-Lighter/dp/B000Z0HVHA/ref=pd_sim_auto_1 . Cut off the male end split and wrap the + and - wires. route it where you want it and secure the extra wire. Then using a fused car plug like the one posted above . FYI a fuse block off the battery would be better but this will work. Make sure you identify + from - or you could have problems. if you take the male end apart the fused side is the +SIDE. THIS AGAIN IS NOT THE BEST METHOD JUST ONE THAT IS CHEAP AND RELIABLE. The phone style usb charger has a fuse in it that will work just fine.

Ya I am 20 pounds bigger and lucky to get 2800 miles out of any Pilot powers or 2cts for that matter. Try the Z6's you will find them slightly harder but have great traction even in he rain. They are the only tire I have gotten 5000 miles out of ever. I have also read good things about the z8's here is a link to the cheapest deal with free shipping I can find. http://tinyurl.com/3qrqggv

Are you a heavier guy? I am and I ride hard. I also ride twisty roads %80 of the time. My tires do the same thing. Seams to happen faster if I am riding really abrasive or chip sealed roads [tared then covered with gravel leaving a sand or should I say rock paper finish. Its normal. if you want better tire life by metzler Z6s or the Pilot power road 3s

Lots of pics to come!!

If you do not have these you want them. I could not live without mine!!

I rode home 300 miles with a failing r/r. Just understand once it drops below 9 volts you cant even bump start the bike. And there you will be stuck :mellow:

If you do got to the r1 r/r just realize the cooling fins on it are larger then the Honda and you will need to cut them down about an inch or relocate it to a better mounting location I went with a r1 r/r 3 or 4 years ago now and have never had to look at it again. I did install a volt meter so I could be warned if it failed again. I have a lot of useful info on the swap if you need it just PM me and I will post it here for you. George :beer:

Such a fun little theme park. Went there wife my wife last month. Only down side is the water in the water slides are not heated. Waiting in line got cold a few times.
