    Suspension upgrade on My 13.

    All went well. First fork tube took a while. The first cartridge took for ever to come apart. Even with heat. The second fork tube was about an hour. I will test ride on Sunday.

    Suspension upgrade on My 13.

    One thing I have to say. The Penske shock is such a great improvement over the factory one. I have almost 600 miles on it since last weekend and have it set up well. Should have done this 70,000+ miles ago

    Suspension upgrade on My 13.

    My forks started weeping after 72000 miles on my 13 Tenere so I figured it would be a great time to upgrade everything. I finally got everything for the build and posting up pictures and questions during the build I just installed a Penske 8983 shock with a 800 lb spring this last weekend...

    Fork rebuild and re-valve

    So after 72,000 miles my fork decided to start leaking, I figured this would be a good time to rebuild it right with new springs and valving I am swapping in a Penske shock at the same time since the biggest issue in the ST suspension is the shock. I have done many different projects throughout...

    Arrow headers vs stock de-cat

    I cut my cat out last month and added a 14 inch Delkevic at the same time. Cut it with my portaband on the existing weld and re welded it back together with my old Lincoln 170 mig I immediately noticed the engine ran much smoother and spun up quicker than before Not too loud but I get noticed...

    adding a flasher circuit to auxiliary lighting

    Yep, This is why I posted because I couldn't find any clear answer when I started thinking about it. I already have the parts to add an independent flasher control and will be going that route for emergency use. I currently carry one of these...

    adding a flasher circuit to auxiliary lighting

    I've had other bikes with emergency flashers and wish they would have been an option on the earlier year bikes I will look into what it would take to add that option to my bike

    adding a flasher circuit to auxiliary lighting

    Thanks for the clarification. that is the main reason that I posted I may go with the construction flashers later but Let me see how my driving lights go first Like stated above the modulators will probably destroy the shutters on the headlights so that won't be an option

    adding a flasher circuit to auxiliary lighting

    So does it modulate from regular to high beam? I have spot lights teathered to my high beam circuit so they come on when I turn on my high beams

    adding a flasher circuit to auxiliary lighting

    The only thing that I found on federal law is the lamp color couldn't be blue or red and I would only use the flasher is during lane splitting. Thanks for your opinions

    adding a flasher circuit to auxiliary lighting

    I commute 110 miles in heavy traffic daily and cut through traffic almost constantly. I plan on adding auxiliary lights to my crash bars this weekend to bring attention to me and started thinking of putting them on a three way switch so that they could either be off, on or flashing. Has anyone...

    Mandatory recall coming: Hard start

    The reason for WOT is to help clear the cylinders and possibly dry the wet spark plugs. Pretty much like a compression release works on a dirt bike. You can release the throttle after the engine fires off. You maybe have to rev up a couple times to help clear the remaining fuel
