::004:: Thanks for all the info here, just did the valve adjust and throttle body sync (using 2 stroke oil in 20' of tubing as old-school manometer/balancer). I see how easy it would be to have the cam chain rail get pushed over to the side. Also the cam chain can slip so fast you can't see it...

Re: 46.17 miles per gallon... Got 33.5 MPG on 660 mile trip (with pannier boxes and duffle on seat). Might have been 'accidentally 'going slightly over the limit (85-90MPH) . . . but with fuel stops every 160-170 trip average was under 80 mph. Seems counter-productive to cruise at speeds...

Today I looked at my bike, and wanted to ride it somewhere ??? But yesterday I did an oil change and installed and Alt Rider skid plate. The day before I installed Full Bore M-41's front and back. Replacing the K60 Heidi-howlers. WOW, the FB's just fall into a turn - will need to adjust...

I'll be your friend!! ::014:: Hey pal, can I borrow 20 bucks? :D I have the same issue, and it is more than just risk of injury -- a small issue when riding friends can be major by yourself (for example your gps failing). You have to pack a bit more thoroughly, be self-sufficient and maybe...

Good reason to carry spare fuses. My land cruiser (pretty much flawless at 180k) wouldn't start one day . . . no fuel coming through. Checked the fuses and my EFI fuse was blown. Actually looked like it melted the socket a little, so perhaps a bad fuse. There are a few spares on the S10 -...

Re: 2014+ Windscreen Poll (What works for tall large riders?) I have the MRA and winglets. I don't recommend this shield - especially with an Arai XD-4. I get a head shake at speed. (spoiler raised fully). The buffeting is definitely reduces, but turbulent air not raised enough. I have to...

For that price: SOLD! I'll take a set . . . . well maybe I should ask about shipping. :) Seriously, nice work. And it will definitely strengthen the screen bracket (especially if glued) despite the holes.

Bleed - super simple, but the reservoir needs to be filled every 3 or 4 pulls or so. And pull the lever slowly, or brake fluid squirts out. Need: 8mm wrench short piece of clear 1/4 tubing (Got mine at Home Depot) waste cup/can Takes just a few minutes. Very nasty looking. I did the...

Good to Know! Yeah, won't help with all the deaf dears running around ??? My guess is they can't hurt -- but may not give more than $4 of protection. Just like the reflective tape I put on my boxes and wheels.

Can't hurt - some Department of Forestry vehicles use them too. I have seen one deer while riding . . . and it was running away ::001::

Installed - using the 'official' method. I also bled the clutch - nasty stuff (2012 with 17k). Reused the gasket. Clutch grabs faster - less friction zone. Not sure how much from a spongy clutch or new basket. Seems fine so far (8 miles!) ::008:: Photos are showing --

I got mine - but it took a month from order to delivery. If you are in a hurry, call them to check inventory. Just about the best price I could find, unfortunately the $36 sale is long gone . . .

Installation photos no longer posted Ordered my basket -- (looks easy enough)
