• Please VOTE: VTX 1800 Lowers P

  • From: dougtaro
  • Description:

    Hey out there:

    I'm looking for some feedback on a project that I'm thinking about. Please look at the 2 photos (mockups) of some lower fairings that I am considering building for my VTX 1800. The batwing fairing is already in place, and I want to enhance the appearance as well as provide for some additional wind protection for my feet and legs.

    Please give me your honest feedback. If you think they look like crap, tell me so. The color/paint scheme is only one idea, I would like you to focus on the size and shape of the lowers mainly.

    Please vote for either MOCKUP A, MOCKUP B, or NEITHER

    Thanks in advance!

• Accessories heaven :)

  • From: Gussi
  • Description:

    I have been complaining since I bought my bike in 2005 that I can't seam to find any accessories for my bike. Now that I have found this site I am as close to accessories heaven as I possibly can be.

    I have been spending the last few days getting to know my way around this fantastic site, and I only get happier every minute. One of the great things about this site is to be able to look at the members accessories list and to read their comments. To be able to find bikes like mine and see how people have customized their rides is fantastic.

    The down side to all this, if I can call it a down side, is that only few days before I found this site I had ordered some chrome on ebay, so now I have to wait at leat for few days before I can do it to my wife to order all the goodies I have found here :) I am fishing for Mackerel off the coast of Africa at the moment, and because I work for 12 hours and get 12 hours off every day I have too much free time on my hands browsing on the internet looking for some shiny parts. A part from all the little chrome accessories I just ordered I ordered Tsukayu Jumbo Hard bags with Luggage racks and Bag guards. The bags will be painted in the colors of my bike so I cant wait to see it.

    I will be here until the beginning of January so it will be my wife's job to find a place in the garrage for all my new stuff. Oh I cant wait to get home to put everything on my bike :)

    I have to thank all of you for making this site so interesting :)

    Ride safe,

    Gunnsteinn.

  • From: cougarhunter
  • Description:

    finally gonna get to ride for the first time in 2 weeks tomorow. weather hasn't been too bad here but work has got in the way and haven't had a chance to ride, had a bad case of withdrawal for sure lol. there is a local organization that collects donations all year and uses the money to buy turkeys and all the fixings for thanksgiving dinners and they have us bikers ride along to help deliver the food to needy families in the area. rode in it last year and had a blast, after all the food is delivered they have all of us bikers meet somewhere and feed us a big dinner for riding and helping out. the temp is supposed to be high of 65 with sunshine and for colorado in november that is a treat . so to everyone here at ccc have a great thanksgiving and hope ya'll get the chance to put some miles on soon.

    keep the shiny side up and the rubber down !!!!!!!!

• Rescue Mission

  • From: kwaka1500
  • Description:

    DAY 5 : TIME TO START THE EXHAUST. TREAT WITH RUST CONVERTER EVEN MORESO, THESE ARE REALLY BAD. IT TAKES ME JUST ABOUT 4 HOURS TO GET THEM TO A GOOD CONDITION FOR POLISHING. WHILE POLISHING BY HAND, I SPIT ON THEM, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HELPS, BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF POLISHES, THEY'RE LOOKING OK. MUST BE THE BOURBON. OK, NOW THE SWING ARM. THE CONDITION IS NOT TO BAD, ONLY SLIGHT TREATMENT REQUIRED TO BRING IT UP. LIGHT SAND, RECOAT GLOSS BLACK, I CHEAT A LITTLE, AND APPLY CHROME TAPE AT VERY SLIGHTLY TACKY, BE CAREFUL IF YOU TRY THIS, IF YOU LAY THE TAPE ONLY MARGINALLY OFF LINE, AND TRY TO LIFT AND RE STICK, YOU MAY LIFT THE PAINT OFF AS WELL. BUT WHEW, IT WORKS FOR ME. LAY CLEAR LAQUER OVER. REPAT FOR DRIVE SHAFT SIDE. THATS ANOTHER 3 HOURS. SIDE COVERS NEXT. LIGHTLY SAND, THIN COAT SILVER, ALLOW TO DRY (BOTH). FINISH POLISHING AIR CLEANER COVERS WHILE WAITING. MIX SOME YELLOW TO MATCH THE TANK, MASK SIDE COVERS AND PAINT. THIS IS ALL QUICK DRY, SO ONLY 2 HOURS TO WAIT. SAME FOR MAROON (BURGUNDY IN AMERICA). HIGHLIGHT WITH CHROME TAPE & CLEAR COAT OVER. LAST 2 HOURS FOR POLISHING FINAL DRIVE CASE.

    DAY 6 : COAT SPRINGS, TAIL LIGHT AND INDICATOR MOUNT WITH TREATMENT NOT TO BAD ALL OF THIS, EASY POLISH, OK. MEASURE AND CUT DAMAGED EXHAUST, TOP ONE BENT AND DENTED AT THE TAPER. CUT 45 DEGREES AT EQUAL LENGTHS. REWELD TOP INNER BAFFLE. CLEAN AND PAINT RADIATOR AND RADIATOR GAURD (MESH). START PARTS REPLACEMENT  ON BIKE.

• Happiness is over

  • From: tapo
  • Description:

    Happiness is over, cant ride my bike anymore.  Passing summer was super and 10.000 miles on gauge, its more than i never have rided during the past summers. Now i have time to customize my new VN2000 with some lovely chrome parts from CC, there`s few orders in and the first delivery came here today.

    I cant stand this darkness during this time of the year, its so cold and when leaving the work its dark and coming to work its dark again.  We had snow allready few inches, but it all melted after two weeks showers.

    Something must be done and fortunately i have bowling, which is my number one hobby on winter time.  I started that hobby the same time than my riding in 2004.  My scoring averige is 192 and have told to everyone when reaching M-level (highest ranking) i stop the whole thing. My age maybe is obstacle to that dream, but people must have dreams to gain success, no matter what it is.

    I will introduce my bike to you after attaching the new parts on it.

    All the best to all of you and safe rides

• VStar 1100 Oil Filter Relocati

  • From: Wolfye
  • Description:

    

     

    For those of you who are interested in the final result of the oil filter relocation kit install, here's some pictures of my bike with it installed.

    You can see the chrome filter cover just peeping over the exhaust pipe there. I was a bit worried that all that chrome might look out of place on my black bike, but I think it looks really nice down there.

    One thing I was worried about was people said that the area which was covered by the vanity plate with the YAMAHA logo would look bad because it was under the plate. A little bit of Mr Sheen (Aussie furniture polish) and it came up like there was never anything there

    

     

    You can see the hoses in the picture (right). I was initially worried that they would not fit because when I held it against the bike I could not see how they would. I bought the normal length hoses that came with the kit, but they fit perfectly as you can see.

    The oil filter itself is tucked up under the front. I'll have to see how it goes with crap flicking up from the road onto the chrome I guess.

    All in all, I'm very happy with the results. Now I have to wait to put another 5,000 kms on her so I can do the next oil change myself!

• Rough Day

  • From: jakejessica
  • Description:

    Had a pretty rough day..... a great friend of mine that i went to church with and always had a happy face was Killed on his 6 Month old Royal Star yesterday. He was recently back into the two wheel scene and was loving, he road everyday. A person ran a red light and he never saw it coming. I am not going to get down completely because i know he is with Jesus tonight and i will take a ride for him tomorrow..... Lot of Love for him and his family...... Just thank God everyday for the joys we have here on earth and the freedoms we have and feel when we are on two wheels.
