The tear down begins with tank & seat removal. Cleaned some dirt and crude off first, more to clean while it's apart. I then adjusted the valves, added a new spark plug, cleaned the air filter and cleaned out the gas tank. I can see the dirt being in the tank, but weeds too.....really? Next up....Sub frame removal to get the rear shock out for servicing and a new 11.0 kg Eibach spring.

It's made to mount up under the fender but I decided to mount it above the fender to keep it out of harms way. I think it really looks good on the bike. You remove the stock light unit from the fender and install the new light over the hole. One note, the license plate bracket that came with the unit is to small to fit a standard license plate...Hmmmm. So I had to make a modification to make the plate fit right., ended up backing the plate ...

So with some resrearch and ideas from this site I did the following: Drill a 5/16" hole to run the wires through then hold the light up to mark the mounting holes: Then mount the new LED signal you got at Wal-Mart for $7.00 with a couple of machine screws: Wire the new signal to where your old signal plugged in and while you have the number plate off be sure to go to schucks and spend ...

It draws 6 amps/77 watts max, but when I use it, the headlight gets dimmer. What are my options? Upgrade the magneto (cost; possibility of damaging other electrical parts); something else? Or, is it more trouble than it's worth? Any ideas appreciated.

I couldn’t find a place where they wouldn’t look like crap so I ended up just leaving the front turn signals off completely until I could come up with a better solution, which brings us to now. Last month a friend ordered a set of Zeta hand guards with built in LED turn signals for his WR250R, I really liked the built in blinkers on the Zeta’s…… ...

The main purpose of this brace is to support my Giant Loop & gear for long trips! I started with a piece of 3/4" stock measuring 14" in length. I made a mark at 4" from the ends leaving 6" in the middle. Using a torch I warmed up the metal and started my bends. Perfect fit!

Here is what I started with: The first order of business was to strip off the side panels, seat and tank. I then removed the stock petcock from the original tank. The new tank's mounting surface for the petcock is rather rough, so I did not think the stock O-ring on the petcock would be enough to seal off any gas leaks. I found that the petcock pick-up/vent ...

I found tension pins at the hardware store today that were the perfect size for my project. I needed 1/4" X 2" for my poles. I took a screwdriver and widened the gap in the tension pin. Drill a hole in but not through a block wood to hold the pin for you. With one end widened it's a tight fit putting in inside the pole. The other end remains small enough for the pole to slip over like it's intended ...
