  1. Ignore-fixed: Help - Triple K&N's installed & Overhe

    One of the posters makes a point! You have to have the overflow for the cooling system to expand when hot and contract when cold (hence cold and hot marks). When you shut the bike off typically what happens is that the coolant quits circulating and "heatsoaks" the coolant which causes the...

  2. Kury Grips

    Well... just ****! Live and learn! Now I have to cut these buggers off to put new ones on! They will NEVER come off just pulling on them!

  3. Kury Grips

    I have the ISO grips... and they seem to be rubbing off (the rubber part) like they are disintergrating literally in my hands??? Any others have this issue? These are only one year old!! I would expect them to last at least a few years!

  4. Oil change???

    Most synthetics are good for at least 10,000 miles. Don't let those marketing weisels convince you of anything else.

  5. Underseat Coolant Bottle Relocation Questions

    Just a quick blurb on how this works FWIW. The ONLY issue(s) you have to worry about in placement of the coolant bottle under the seat is this: 1. finding a physical space for the bottle itself A. the chosen location has to have it's cap above the normal expansion (when hot) pool level...

    First Evans Coolant! Great product.. does NOT expand, environmentally safe (proplyene glycol.. basically food additive), does not promote rust, will quench hotter surfaces than other coolants, and that's the good news. Now for the bad. The heat removal abililty of the stuff is not what...

  9. Underseat Coolant Bottle Relocation Questions

I even write web site based (for example of one see here... http://www.streetrodstuff.com/Articles/ ... ggestions/ .... and media (magazine)...

  10. Kuryakyn Grips - Wobble??? Help!!!

    I have had those grips tooooo nary a problem... very stable. The weights are for vibration dampening.. not steering dampening! Head bearing or something with the tire/wheel.

  11. Digital oil temperature gauge cap

    Overpriced?... yeap! Functional? maybe?... a real "gadget hounds" gadget for sure?... oh yeah. Mine came with the bike and has never had condensation in it. Begs the question if you can seal it up with clear silicone if you are careful or take it apart and seal it. Do we NEED this...

  12. new / old topic - Kury grips

    Hey there neighbor (I'm in Duluth, GA)! I did the very same thing and used the Metric versions and had to modify the throttle by grinding down the nubs and then some! Mine hung up and I had to go back and grind more because the "compression" of the throttle part that surrounds the handlebar...
