Radar detector

I wanted to hook my Radar up to my bike. The battery is a pain in the ass to reach so I youtubed a video of and they used a fuse tap for a car and I assumed it would work on the bike, but nothing. Any ideas?

Re: Rear shock adjustment knob

Thanks again. As far as I know the lady I bought it off used it for trips with her teenage son aboard, which I hope explains the knob "stuck" on the high setting as opposed to it being constantly adjusted to compensate for for a leak. The guy I mentioned above is going to help me with main...

Re: Rear shock adjustment knob

It was frozen at the high setting. The guy I mentioned just turned it harder than I was willing and adjusted it for me for my weight and preference. It seems to be fine and you can hear the little clicks each revolution. Thanks for your response.

Servo brakes=ABS

Hi, I just bought a 2001 R1150r, I will post pics soon it is mint IMHO. Anyway it does not have ABS so does that also mean it has "just" regular brakes so I don't have to worry about any three grand brake issues in the future? This site has already been invaluable for me and this is my fir...
