    Cure for clunky shifting?

    So I bought the bike and have slowly but surely turned it into "MY" bike. Making all the little adjustments and mods. I love this bike, I mean I really love this bike but the thing shifts like an A model Ford. I know it's kinda the nature of the beast but has anyone tried to smooth out the...

    Surging front brake. where to start?

    Heat/glaze/ scorch marks on the rotor? Also I had a bit of a surging problem like this on my XB. I first took my dremmel tool and a cone shaped bit and counter sunk all the round vents in the rotor. That fixed it in that case.

    ( Thee ) exhaust mod by Captain Ron

    I agree, if you have the short exhaust outlet this makes for a much more direct rout for the flow.= better sound, I keep coming back to this thread! I'm happy with the performance of my bike, just wish I had a little more sound.I've been looking at Hawk for a while but even as affordable as his...

    I loved the part about Willie G and his Art school. Also about the new CEO not even riding a Harley! Good stuff.

    Pirrelli Diablo Strada Front / ?? Rear Tire

    Remember when Ford got into all that trouble about roll over crashes? Most of that was caused by tire failure. Where ford used Bran new tires that had just sat for too long on the shelf. Tires actually have a shelf life. The rubber actually starts to degrade from day one. With the tires Ford...

    Slow Turning XB9S-Need Tire Suggestions

    The Corsa 3's were awesome for grip and I would run them all the time if I could afford new tires every 3 months. The only thing I didn't like was that they are duel compound. They were great for 3000k but because the center of the tire is a harder compound, the sides wore out much faster giving...

    Brrrrrrrr!!!

    Same here in Knoxville. Took mine out yesterday to scrubb in new tires. I've been riding some this winter and noticed yesterday I have A big rusty splash on my previously perfect exhaust! Looks just like de-ice or something splashed up and stripped the paint then rusted all the way down my pipe...

    Headlight Mod - Both Lights On w/ Hi-Beam

    Did the mod yesterday and took the bike out all day. Stop and go kinda riding in 31 degree weather.First the lights melted, then the battery got so hot it set my ass on fire, then the seat, and eventually the hole bike imploded. Kidding, worked like a charm and no ill effect on the charging...

    Slow Turning XB9S-Need Tire Suggestions

    Just happened across this thread.. I ride an 07 xb12s and just changed to the M3's a few days ago. First thing I noticed was how smooth the tires rode compared to the Corsa 3's that I replaced. The second thing I noticed was just this. They seem to really slow down the turns. I found myself...

    Headlight Mod - Both Lights On w/ Hi-Beam

    Wow this thread is timeless. Just finished the mod, took about 10 times as long to read through the 9 pages of thumbs up. Shoulda done it long ago. Simple and effective!

    Hero Blue Paint?

    Hey Josh, I don't have any "after" pics with the silver paint yet. I can try and get some up tomorrow. oh9bolt's pic is a fair example though. It really does make a big differance and also highlights the clear airbox. Before, you would have to be right up on it to notice but now I get people...

    Hero Blue Paint?

    I wanted mine to stand out a bit more too. I have an 07 with hero blue translucents, Painted my inner airbox silver and made a world of differance.

    Metzeler M3's

    Thanks for the post guys. Sounds like I may have a new tire. I'll post up on how they do after a good break-in period. 140 for both BKK? Thats a killer deal! Jwoody, I looked at the M5's but they were a bit more and being constantly strapped for cash I took the M3's. I liked the depth of the...

    Metzeler M3's

    Thanks man. I looked hard at the Shinko 009. Cool tread pattern and can't beat the price. Just sounded like it had a little trouble in the wet from what I read. Of coarse you would know better than me on that. If they did well in wet weather I may look at em again for my next set.

    Metzeler M3's

    I was in bad need of some new shoes and have been running the Diablo Corsa 3's. Great tire I'm sure but I really hated the way the tires wore. Front tire cupped really bad really quickly and the sides wore way faster than the centers giving them more of a diamond shape profile rather than...
