I did both front and rear with a $20 spoon kit from Amazon. Have never done it before. Very straight forward. Took about 2 hrs total for both.

Mosquito, I agree with you on the backpacks being a possible hazard if you go down. I purposely back mine so nothing will (hopefully) cause further injury. I just need a tailbag...something would be...
Everyday my commute is roughly 40+mins, and the straps dig into my shoulders/pits, even if packed light, because you need to tighten straps to keep backpack planted...
Glad it was an easy fix. I HATE electrical gremlins!
I am looking for a smaller one (so I can ditch the backpack). I ride just about everyday, and when I have PT days, I have to pack the backpack full, and it is a PITA to ride with. I think this one...
Cooter, perfect! Thanks brother!
Oops, 2006 XB12Ss
Yeah, crap weather tom anyway. Thanks lunatic!
1- Do all models (scg, ss, blot, etc) have same length dipstick?
2- Can someone who has an SS please measure their stick(haha) from the bottom of the cap, to the end of the stick?
3- Also provide a...
Actually Cooter, you are wrong. Every single new plug out of the box is gapped...it just not be the right gap for your (our) application. Sorry, I had to do it. This thread is way too serious.
Nick, first off, great job onow that bike! Looks amazing! I wouldn't get too caught up in others saying you shouldn't do something based on a question you have. I have been wrenching like you pretty...
Alex and Shaun, Thank you!
Lunatic, I think I will have ago at it tomorrow. New rear bearings came in. I am VERY familiar with both the blue and red loctite, as well as anti-seize. I couldn't...
Lunatic, I did exactly that. I used the old bearing and socket. I heard and felt each job time it was seated. As of right now, bothasn't bearings are installed, front wheel on, axle installed. All I...
Ok. Thanks. I have replaced red/orange ones with the blue all balls. I have both seated the entire wayear now. I reinstalled them a few times. Was sure how critical the axle spacer was.
Got the old bearings out, new ones are going in without issue, except that I can't get the spacer to seat and get tight.
Anyone have any tips?
Edit: the left side is going flush, and the right...

OK Thank you. It was aftermarket.
34, how much does HD want for one if you don't mind me asking? I have found one online from a part site and they wanted about $30, I haven't checked my local HD yet.
Except for being in Italy for the past few weeks, I haven't stop riding...I live in VA. I think my low limit is about 14 degrees so far. Not sure why, but I can't put her away. I enjoy riding it too...
34nineteen, how long have you and this leak from there? Mine is leaking a bit from the crimped section. Mine is a small amount on the cable itself ever 2 days or so. (I still ride daily) and I wipe...
I have thought about it previously, how are your reflective parts? Mine are starting to brown, reason for the question. Would it be worth upgrading the bulbs and having "sub par" housings?
Lunatic, I have ordered another 4-pin connector to replace mine where I think one of the pins is loose.
I am right there with you (sort of). I went to do the "dual headlight mod", and for whatever reason, I wasn't able to get the pins out to save my life. Before I rendered it completely useless, I...
Thank you Marcel. I look forward to the comparison!
I actually contemplated thus exact setup due to the sizing of the lights. Is the light output butter than stock? Do you have any comparison pics or real life pics at night with those? Are you running...
Marcel, thank you for the reply! I wanted to stay away from hid, due to room for ballasts. On the first ones, that is exactly what I have in mind. Are those the 5.75 (5 3/4") headlights? If so, they...
