    Louder Pipes is it possible

    I posted a thread on how to remove the baffles from D&D's and the tool I used. You can probably find it using the search feature but here's a brief description. The pipes need to be mounted on the bike and the single screw removed that holds the baffle in place. I then used an expandable bearing...

    Best Chrome Primer

    A Scotchbright pad works well to scratch up the chrome so primer/paint adheres better. You can use anything scratchy to rough up the chrome but the Scotchbright pad is made just for that purpose and leaves an even finish.

    I'm using sylvania silver stars just like in my MINI, They are similar to the factory bulbs but seem to last a little longer for me. But believe me, the stock bulbs are fully capable of being much brighter than they are in a stock bike. With the EB kit they went from yellow tinged to bright...

    Louder Pipes is it possible

    TOR's (Triumph Off Road) exhaust is really quite loud when you open the throttle, they are a good choice especially if you like the look of the factory exhaust like I do. D&D's are a little quieter than the TOR's until you start removing baffles, I had the twin pipes on one side for the Standard...

    It's an American guy living the life over in Japan ... He makes the best wiring harnesses with the very best and latest (new technology) parts. When I saw the relays that he uses for the harness I had to do a double take ... I'd never seen them before. Little and solid they handle more current...

    Avon VS Meztler

    I do believe that you have set the Guinness Book or World Records for mileage out of Metzler. My only question is how many miles/km's on the rubber and how many on the cords? lol

    Ain't it wonderful? ..... literally like night and day. That problem where the headlights are aimed too low on low beams when adjusted for high beams, and when they are too high on high beams when adjusted for low beams is a moot point with the extra bright white lights after installing the...

    Swap my Roadster Controls For Standard ones

    Blocking his email didn't seem to work .... "Threats I never did like threats and I still feel the same way, Im always at home. Gary" .... I wonder why it didn't stick? I knew I should have stuck with my gut feeling and never sold him the parts, it's never worth dealing with these people.

    Swap my Roadster Controls For Standard ones

    Gary, I've only twice before wished someone would dry up and blow away.. Today I expand that thought to two others .... you and my wife. I've expressed my feelings to her today when she arrived back home from her KC trip where she arranged for her boyfriend to finance her moving away to be with...

    Removing/replacing rear wheel warning!

    And if the shop lets their youngest goofball change out the tire he can nick it so that it goes "scrape-scrape-scrape" while riding it home. That happened to me but I fixed it with a slight trim with a razor blade. That's why I did the removal myself this last time and carried the wheel in. If...

    Swap my Roadster Controls For Standard ones

    I wasn't going to post his latest email with my response here just to be "nice" since he continues to embarrass himself, but after calling me a thief I just can't resist. Remember, start from the bottom and read up, the top one is my final correspondence with him ... lol It was the same...

    use of kill switch

    It's the leading cause of bikes not starting and head scratching due to not remembering you left the switch in the OFF position. ;) Putting the kickstand down while in gear does the same thing, none will damage the bike.

    New R3 Roadster - TOR no secondaries

    Full power in 1st-3rd gears above 20% throttle on stock bikes? That's a new one on me.

    New R3 Roadster - TOR no secondaries

    It's not like the good old days when you turn the distributor and set base timing to 10 degrees before top dead center with the vacuum advance plugged off, timing tables are written into the ECU programming just like fuel trim. You either rewrite the tables or trick it into thinking it's...

    New R3 Roadster - TOR no secondaries

    It's an overall 7% power reduction built into the first three gears from the factory to make the bike safer for inexperienced riders. You most likely aren't experiencing much power increase from just removing the secondaries, just quicker throttle response.

    improving performance?

    Yes, those plus triple filters and exhaust are plenty to get the most out of a normally aspirated R3. Once you have that combination just have it professionally dyno tuned and it will be a very rideable, dependable power house. You can go crazy and spend more money on more performance parts to...

    New R3 Roadster - TOR no secondaries

    Opening or removing the secondaries does help but there is still retarded timing built into the first three gears. Advancing the ignition timing to what the engine can handle without pre-detonation makes it more efficient and powerful. Fixing the slow to open and not fully opening secondaries...

    New R3 Roadster - TOR no secondaries

    Actually having the factory indicator AND the GiPro would be really handy. With the GiPro you not only would have an extra 7% power in lower gears from the timing retard eliminator, but you could actually SEE which gear the bike thinks it's in. And if you don't want the larger GiPro Gear...
