Our innovative Cushion Wheel spools turn and flex, allowing the shield to lock into place with a reassuring "pop". Want to remove or change the shield? A gentle tug is all that is needed.Windshield Lowers Chrome Lowers extend the protection of your SwitchBlade windshield and, with a National Cycle Light Bar, form an integrated front end look. We engineer our Chrome Lowers with these other components to ensure proper fit and appearance. Designed specifically to fit with our innovative QuickSet4 SwitchBlade windshield mounts.

Breast Cancer Awareness Poker
- From: CromagnaMan
-
Description:
These are three of about a hundred bikes in total ... (the middle one is my Magna prior to some of the customization on it) ... during the staging proceeding the participation in the Breast Cancer Awareness Poker Run sponsored by the local Tallahassee Chrome Divas. Notice that the "trike" parked next to my Magna is not a "trike" at all. It's set up with the Voyager Outrigger System that allows a normal bike to be converted to a "trike" in about five minutes. Using this system, one can haul a small trailer behind the bike, and when you get to where you're going, "poof!" five minutes later you can pull off the outrigger and have a normal bike again. The gentleman standing there had broken his back, and using the "trike" system, he was sill able to ride and be a part of the biker community. If you look closely, you can see that the rear end of the system consists of he regular bike rear wheel and two "outrigger" wheels ... so there's a total of four wheels on the road.

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!

Description:
DAY 3 : ALL THE ORIGINAL PAINTED PARTS NEED A GOOD CLEAN UP. SOME RUST IS COMING THROUGH THE PAINT.
I'VE CHECKED THE RECTIFIER AND IT WORKS OK, BUT IS IN NEED OF SOME ATTENTION. WIRE BUFF AND THEN PAINT SILVER.
THE COVER IS ALSO NOT TO FLASH, BUFF OFF AND TREAT WITH RUST CONVERTER, AND THE USAL PAINT PROCESS. ONLY AFTER PAINTING I PUT SOME CHROME TAPE ON AND CLEAR COAT OVER. NOT TO BAD FOR A QUICK FIX. SEE PHOTO.
FOOT PEG SUPPORTS ARE THE SAME, BLEMISHED AND SOME RUST. LIGHT SAND WITH 1200 PAPER AND APPLY RUST CONVERTER. THIS FIXED THEM ENOUGH TO GET AWAY WITH, RECOAT BLACK GLOSS,ADD CHROME TAPE AND CLEAR COAT.
THIS IS THE SYSTEM I WAS USING ALL DAY AND HALF THE NIGHT, AS FAR AS THAT GOES, IT LOOKED OK.
DAY 4 : NOW TO ATTACK THE CHROME. A DIFFERENT STORY ALL TOGETHER. I'D RATHER THROW IT ALL ON THE DUMP. SO MUCH PITTING AND RUST. I HAVE TO TO IGNORE WHAT I SEE AND GET DOWN TO REPAIRS. SOAK ALL CHROME IN RUST CONVERTER FOR ONLY 15 TO 30 MINUTES EACH 3 TIMES. THIS HAS CLEARED ENOUGH RUST TO START POLISHING. ALTHOUGH THE PITTING WON'T GO AWAY, FROM A DISTANCE, AND TO THE UNINITIATED EYE, I MIGHT GET AWAY WITH IT. I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE A PROSTITUTE, FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING RIDE READY, I'M TURNING ONE HELL OF A BLIND EYE. IT'S LATE IN THE NIGHT BY NOW, AFTER POLISHING AS MUCH OF THE CHROME AS POSSIBLE. SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED IS SUMMONING ME TO SHARE SOME TIME. I MUST GO. OR HELL HATH NO FURY ETC,ETC.

Mutual Bliss on a Bike
- From: gaqt466

Description:Mutual Bliss on a Bike
Tuesday May 19, 2009, a day that shall live in infamy. My beau Tex, purchased a 1994 Honda Shadow VLX 600. He had been mentioning to me for months about needing to get another motorcycle. I, never having been into the biker scene said, "no one needs a motorcycle."
To say he was happy doesn't begin to describe his joy when he bought this motorcycle. I could hear the ear to ear smile in his voice, when he called me and he sounded positivly ebullient. First of all it's in darn near mint condition. The previous and only owner took really good care of it. Second it's blue, his favorite color. Third, and maybe I'm biased; but he looks darned fine sitting astride that bike. Did I mention it didn't need any work? He spent half the next morning polishing chrome that was already shining. He changed the spark plugs but apparently they didn't really need it. He mentioned maybe adjusting the idle.
I had to apologize to him the next day for not showing the proper amount of enthusiasm when he called. Though to be fair it was 1:30 AM and I had been asleep for 2 hours already. Wednesday night I surprised him by meeting him outside the local Target, and he was still smiling. He gave me a ride around the parking lot and I have to say I liked it. I'm not sure what I was expecting; but it was a pleasurable experience that reminded me a little bit of the freedom I feel when skiing, added bonus: being close to my man. So there we sat, in the Waffle House, grinning at each other like fools because we had fallen in love with a motorcycle. I can honestly say I felt blissful even the next day, he could hear it in my voice on the phone twelve hours later.
Just what is it about motorcycles that produces that blissed out feeling?
FWIW: Never tell your beau that his dimples make him look too cute to be a bad a## biker dude. LOL - Blog post

2004 Honda Indian Scout 745 ......; The Indian Scout Motorcycle was born in 1920 and was the brainchild of Charles B. Franklin. In 1927 the Indian Scout Motorcycle, initially with a 596 cc (37ci) engine was bored out to 745 cc (45ci), and was Indian's most important model. The 1928 Scout 101 was and is regarded as Indian's best handling if not best-ever motorcycle. The Scout 101 won many races and it and the later Sport Scout which came out in 1934 and Standard Scout in 1936, were often hopped up for racing and street-fighting. Models of 1934 featured Indian's famous head-dress logo on the gas tank. Indian's huge Springfield, Mass. factory was known as the Wigwam, and native American imagery was much used in advertising. The Indian Scout went out of production after 1945. Ironically, Soichiro Honda rode a 101 Scout for a number of years and it inspired him to build motorcycles. The theme for this Honda Motorcycle is (Honda Indian Scout 745) it has a 745cc (45ci) 52 degree V-twin motor with, 3-valves and 2-plugs per jug, a single pin crank, single 1.34in. carb, two into one headers. The part's put on this Honda motorcycle follow the Scout theme, and are as follows / Indian head-dress, Scout and 745 logo decals / 5-coats of clear paint / Mustang studded seat / River Road T-bag / Custom made 6in. air intake with Spectre air filter and chrome top / Accel 8.8mm plug wires / muffler punched and drilled 7/8in. / Nelson Muffler Corp. plate on muffler / air injection on exhaust removed / custom tag bracket with LED light / custom chrome left engine cover / custom copy of a 1949 Indian speedometer / red neoprene vacuum hose / 5in. Retro mirrors / chrome Vintage horn cover / custom stubby passenger pegs / Indian points cover / chrome master cylinder cover / 45-70 Govt cartridge on chrome fuel shut off switch / Oversize Dunlop tires / Dark Candy Red is Honda's name for the bike's color, but it is very close to the Vermilion that would later be known as Indian Red. The Bikes nickname is Indian Joe !!!!!!!

WORKING BEE
- From: kwaka1500

Description:
HI TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FANS. I HAVE BEEN HEAD DOWN AND ASS UP WORKING ON THE NEW PROJECT TO IT GET RIDE READY FOR THE LAST WEEK, 12 TO 14 HOURS A DAY. I'M REALLY SORRY FOR NOT KEEPING YOU IN THE LOOP, BUT SOMETIMES ONE NEEDS TO GO LIKE HELL, IGNORING FOOD, BOURBON, MATES AND WIVES TO GET TO GET THINGS DONE !
SO HERE IS THE FIRST OF A NUMBER OF ENTRIES. SADLY, THIS IS NOT THE REBUILD, NO TIME, AND NO NEW PARTS YET. THIS IS A RESCUE MISSION ONLY.
FIRST DAY : PARK THE WIFES 4 X 4 OUTSIDE, AND DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES LATER. PUT THE BIKE ON THE STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARAGE. WALK AROUND IT AT LEAST 11 TIMES TO DECIDE WHERE TO START. THIS MACHINE WAS TRULY IN NEED OF A FRIEND. PLACE THE TOOLS IN AN EASY TO GET AT AREA, UNCLUTTERED. REMOVE BITS FROM THE TOP DOWN AND INSPECT FOR JUST HOW MUCH FIRST AID IS REQUIRED AND ORDER OF IMPORTANCE.
DAY 2 : ALL THE TINS OFF, SCREEN AND OTHER APPENDAGES AS WELL. THE WHEELS REALLY NEED TO COME OFF, THEY'RE TO HARD TO WORK ON THE MACHINE. WHEELS OFF. MY UNCLUTTERED AREA NOW LOOKS LIKE A WAR ZONE WITH A SKELETON IN THE MIDDLE. SOME PARTS AREN'T TO GOOD, ESPECIALLY THE HEADLIGHT. RUST BUBBLES UNDER THE CHROME ALL OVER THE TOP. IN FACT THER IS NO CHROME ANYWHERE ON THE BIKE THAT ISN'T PITTED OR RUSTED TO SOME DEGREE. AND THE PAINT ALL OVER IS THE SAME.
SH*T, NOW MAYBE I'VE OPENED A PANDORAS' BOX. I JUST KNOW THAT TO GET THIS DONE IN A WEEK I HAVE MY WORK CUT OUT FOR ME. I'LL DO THE WHEELS FIRST. MAYBE FROM THE PIC YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDUP OF CRAP STILL REMAINING IN THE CENTER.

Repost of Rob
- From: australian6

Description:
Thought it would be timely to do a {ever so slightly modified} Repost of Rob's original "Blog" relating to the ‘’The Inaugural CC River Run’’. Now that it has been confirmed that it will be happening, along with the fact that we will be having a VIP in attendance, as well as a number of our Aussie Lady riders too
"Dr. Phil and I, Robin001 (better known as Rob) have been thinking and talking. Now I know that you are probably thinking that could be dangerous but between us we have half a brain and what we think is a brilliant idea.
We are calling it ‘’The Inaugural CC River Run’’. We are inviting all Aussie members of the CC Community to meet in the beautiful River Murray town of Mildura. We envisage this will take place in early April of next year.
This will give us all an opportunity to meet, have a couple of meals and a brew or two together and talk about our mutual passions, motorbikes and the open road. We can check out each others bikes and enjoy a cruise around the Mildura area. Phil has a few ideas for a ride to various close destinations which include local wineries for the wine lovers out there. If we can entice our favorite American honorary Aussie, Clyde, out here we might even take him for a visit to the roo poo pill factory. What do you say Clyde.
We would also like to extend a special invitation to Kyle (manybikes). This would be a great chance for CC to promote this great site here in Australia. What do you think Kyle? It would be another great trip to another great country on the company credit card mate. If you come out here mate, could you pack a bit of chrome for my Harley in your suitcase? Save me a bit on postage.
Accommodation in the Mildura area is reasonably priced and Phil has already checked out a Motel with bar and BBQ facilities if we all wanted to stay at the same place.
So are you interested?"
Any new or for that matter established, Aussie Members there is still time so put forward your expression of interest and join with a great bunch of fellow enthusiasts in what will be a most enjoyable and memorable event.
Just let either Robin001 or Phil Cole know that you would like to come along and you will receive a personal invitation with all the details from the infamous Dr. Phil!
Cheers
