STOP babying that bike...live free and ride HARD and then you can enjoy metal shavings on your magnetic plugs like the rest of us...

Re: Brake Bleeding Process

If you're looking for a good set of stainless lines (factor silver) if you pull the ABS, I'll sell you mine.

Consider DOT 5.1 fluid (not DOT 5). It's the synthetic version of the DOT 3/4. I don't know this but suspect it might be less hydroscopic.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

WTB R1150R exhaust lowering kit

I was looking at putting one of my R1100S under seat exhausts on but there simply isn't enough room looking at it. So I'm considering going with a cat eliminator and lowering the exhaust for a full capacity left bag (i.e. RT bag).

Re: FS: R1150R parts *** WTB: some Rockster parts

Nothing to show yet, I'll post a separate build thread. Right now I'm collecting parts and the last parts I need are the Rockster headlight, mounts, dash mount, etc. Bike comes apart soon.

Re: Dot 5

DOT 5 is incompatible with DOT 3 & 4 brake fluids and causes precipitates when used in said brake systems that will literally gum up the works. There have been a few posts about this in the past (cyclerob's comes to mind), and you can search through the archives for it. That said, I think there...

Re: cruise control

Anyone work with MC Cruise (Australia) or Rostra (US & Canada)?

I have an MC Cruise for my HyperStrada which is CAN bus and throttle by wire, so no applicability. The Rostra looks more like what i'm used to seeing for a car (my Harley).

cruise control

I'm building a touring project bike that I'm collecting parts for. One of the things I want on this bike is a good cruise control. I don't mean a throttle lock, have those, I want it to work like other cruise controls where it moves the throttle or the injector butterflies to maintain speed. Anyone ...

Rockster headlight

I'm new to the forum (R1100S guy from Pelican forum) and I'm going to do an R1150sR Project bike crossing some parts between the R1150R and an R1100S bike. I'm looking for a Rockster headlight assembly if someone has one for sale. I'll also have some R1150R parts for sale soon including 2004 engine ...
