    more windshield questions....

    That's what I figured but I thought I would ask before dropping around 100 for a new windshield. Now I just need to decide tall or normal and vents or no vents. My current is tall no vents, its nice but I am worried how hot it will be this summer. It is also difficult to see over it if needed so...

    Time for a rebuild....

    Cool that helps a lot. The fairing I'm going to redo isn't cracked that I'm aware of, I need to reattach the edge trim once I get it repainted.

    I have a WJ V, I am assuming the windshield is the original. When I bought it the windshield had scratches on it that looked pretty bad. I was able to remove all scratches and make the windshield look very nice. My problem and in turn question is, now that I am riding the windshield is starting...

    Found a radar detector on ebay.

    I was actually thinking about modifying it, get rid of the old detector and mount a small radio in place.

    which one of these headlights do you guys like best?

    If you have a voltmeter I would at least test the voltage at the coils (and headlight) first just to get a reference point. My 550 was at 8 volts (12v system) my 850 was closer to 10 volts. The lower the voltage just shows how much work you have to do to get it back to par. If your bike was...

    Seth, I did a quick search didn't see exactly what you're riding ( I saw an older Suzuki GS, but not sure) rhe LED headlight will work it will just shorten the life of your charging system, due to the increased heat. If you are indeed riding a GS I would recommend upgrading the electrical system...

    Tri-bar luggage

    I have used soft luggage and while it does have the advantage of compressing and expanding. I perfer hard luggage. Its waterproof lockable and once it's mounted it is easy on and off. My experience with soft luggage is that no matter how secure you mount it, it always seems to move.

    Tri-bar luggage

    Most do mount to the upper shock mount and rear pegs. I would say all but I'm sure there is some somewhere that don't.

    Tri-bar luggage

    I know where to buy the luggage (its my bike in the pictures) (and ebay is considerably cheaper) the problem I have is that they don't make mounts for the vintage bikes so I have to adapt the old mount to new luggage. The first bike is done it uses the vetter frames. The second bike will have...

    which one of these headlights do you guys like best?

    As far as light output, I'm not jumping for joy. The low beam is fine for most riding. The high beam is ultra bright and if i can get it aimed correctly I think it will do very well. Currently the high beam is aimed to far down and does more harm then good as the glare from the road limits my...

    Tri-bar luggage

    I have a NOS set of Tri-bar (samsonite) luggage rack I'd like to convert to Givi luggage. I have already done this with the Vetter luggage rack and think the tri-bar should be easier. Has anyone done this? Has anyone else made givi luggage fit the vetter rack?
