Re: Seats

This is a Russell daylong I am talking about here
I think it is original to this seat
I definitely remove the original staples from it
Yours may not have needed the extra space
they are custom made

Re: What's next for your 1150?

I'm also considering stripping the auxiliary wiring harnesses from the bike and re-fitting it all 'properly', with an auxiliary fuse box and correctly wired in relays feeds etc. This would definitely require some serious garage time. The main reason for that is that I'd like to provide my partner w...

Re: Seats

I just got the seat pictured above
It's a Russel Day long for $155 US shipped off of eBay :D
It does have a rip in the side but they are $555 + $70 (S+H) = $625 US for a new one :shock:
I figure I can take it apart and tweak it if I need to

Re: Cylinder head cover

I think the original posters are long gone
But anyway
The thread repair kits work very well if done correctly
The real trick is drilling the hole straight
Even though there is a pilot hole it can still be drilled crocked and if you do. It will cause alignment issues real quick.

Re: FYI Installing T valve stems for TPMS

Not sure how it could pull the valve stem core out
It does not attach to the core it only presses on it
Are you sure he didn't loose the whole stem
Was it rubber?
