Totally hear ya. Did my first real ride of the season today. About 150 miles in the Snohomish valley today. A couple 10 mph switchbacks.......
Oh I see what you mean... I made a jumper at the reg/rect connector. I think it was just jumping the red to black that allowed the battery to...

I've got Sport Demons on my 1000R. I like them, and I like the tread pattern. Not the stickiest, but they feel real good and didn't introduce...
They came on a parts bike I bought... It had the rearsets (but they just had pegs, not all of the adjustment plates that originally came with...

Those are Lockhart Phillips (maybe Targa) aftermarket clipons... I have a set. They are adjustable by how you rotate them in the clamp that the...
Not too many 37mm handlebars out there to swap in... maybe 86/87 VFR units? Have you simply tried adjusting them so they won't hit the tank or...
Left and Right? Stock handlebars? Have they had the locating pins that engage the top triple clamp removed and are adjusted too far?
RC51 handlebar switches installed along with brake and clutch switches on the master cylinders. Radiator fan and thermostat installed. Moved...
Ultimately, I would like to do something more integrated regarding the lighting. A couple twin small round headlights in a custom enclosure for...
Turn signals. Still need to match the radius of the signal stalks, do some general clean up and paint all the new brackets....
