    Kyle Bradshaw meets with National Cycle's Paul Gomez this week to learn about their cutting-edge quick-release technology, their superior wind deflection products (windshields), new products coming to market, and much more!

    You will get a better understanding of how the technology works and an even better understanding of the superior quality and dedication to the customer that National Cycle brings to the motorcycle industry.

    Switchblade Quick Release Windshields: Cruiser Riders now can enjoy unprecedented convenience, quality and function through an innovative line of quick change windshields. The SwitchBlade System is hilighted by National Cycle's Quickset IV mounting hardware. Featuring National Cycle's exclusive Cushion Wheels, the attractive, buffed stainless steel mounts allow the rider the ability to install or remove a windshield easily, in less than 10 seconds - with NO TOOLS.

    
    
    Windshield Mounting Kits: Strong, sleek, elegant and functional! QuickSet4 secures your SwitchBlade windshield with bulldog tenacity, but is attractive and refined when the shield is off. 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.

• 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!

• 30,000km service today

  • From: Wolfye
  • Description:

    So I left my baby at the shop this morning for her 30,000km service. Apparently 30,000 is one of the big services 

    I've left the oil filter relocation kit as well so it can be fitted. I gave her a quick once over and noticed that there was a thin tear about 6" long along the edge of the back tyre  - that's not good after only 10,000kms - better not be delaminating.

    Now the waiting game before they call me back to tell me what the damage is to my credit card.

• Oil Filter relocation kit has

  • From: Wolfye
  • Description:

    On Friday the postman left a package at our front door - the oil filter relocation kit I order only two weeks ago. Opened it up straight away to take a look. Packaged very well and looks nice and shiny. I held it against where it will go and I can't see how the cables will reach the filter, but it's meant to fit my bike so I'm not worried (much). She's booked in on Tuesday for her 30,000km service so I'll get the mechanic to fit it while they do all the rest.

• New Exhausts

  • From: tford360
  • Description:

    I took off my old stock exhausts off my 1100 yamaha V star and installed the cobra dragster pipes. What a difference it made! you no longer got that quite sound of an engine but got the sound of a REAL bike. I would reccomend these for anyone riding a Yamaha 1100 V star. The price I got, which was on sale, was $425 by Cobra, and the regular price was $499.00,  they came  with bullet caps included. I then upgraded my carberators with the Cobra Jet kit, which mellowed out my exhaust and also increased the power by maybe 10 or 11%. Next I installed the ISO handgrips which makes a big difference in comfort for the hands. I'm steadily upgrading and will keep updating on the current condition.

• Scootworks rear pully & Big Ai

  • From: keithjsutton
  • Description:

    Just wanted to let youall 900 Custom riders know about something unique!

    I purchased and installed a Scootworks rear pulley (about a 5% increase to the gearing) to my 2008 Vulcan 900 Custom over a year ago and really like some things.  Most people buy the front pulley because its cheaper but I wanted to replace that rather ugly stock pulley with some chrome.

    Installation wasn't much more complicated than taking a tire off for rubber replacement.  The only tricky part is getting the pulley tension right afterwards as you can't just mark the previous setting, and the factory recommended setting, using a Harley tension gauge, was way too soft.  Ended up having the shop do a quick adjustment.

    #1 - Great!!  My speedometer is reading right on, as measured by gps.

    #2 - Oops!  My gas milage dropped from 50 mpg on my daily commute to about 46 (well actually it didn't, because my prevcious 50 was based on a speedometer reading that was about 5-6% off).

    #3 - Great!  The bike is much happier running at 75 actual (about 69) indicated before adding the pulley so freeway riding is much more enjoyable.

    #4 - Ooops!  while there still was plenty of power for 2 up loaded, hill starts and freeway hills (no downshifting necessary even on the steepest), I did notice a substantial increase in the time it took to rev up between shifts.

    Now this is not all bad as the stock shifting was soo short I somtimes skipped a gear.  Now it actually shiftes more like a motorcycle instead of a truck - more like the Kawasaki Vulcan 750 I previously had.

    #5 - So I purchased & installed the Barons Custom Big Air Kit (had one minor problem with an "extra" air hose connection - contact me for more detail) and it provided a very noticable power increase, with the shift period droping back into what I consider a very appropriate and fun range.  I "compete" just fine with cars and other bikes while shifting is a much more enjoyable than stock.

    #6 - Great net impact on milage - I often get 50 mpg when cruising around 70 actual.  My commute milage is about 47 and hasn't increased as much because the bike was fine lane splitting in 5th gear at 35 before the pulley, and now it really wants to be doing a little over 40 to excellerate quickly, so I tend to keep it in 4th gear more.

    So now all I need is a muffler system that will give me a boost without requiring ear plugs.  Anybody have any recommendations yet?

    BTW - coming up on 36,000 miles without a problem!  Awesome bike!

    Hey KC,  I have owned my 2000 marauder for 8months and have put on 7500 miles.  Bike has a little over 15k with no problems.  I also felt my ride was a liittle stiff going over bumps.  I adjusted the rear shocks to lowest setting.  Also made a slight adjustment to the tire pressure I only ride one up.  It made a notable differance and no ill effect.   My other mods include, cobra jet kit and exsaust.  I also bought versey springs for m

• Meeting myself along the road

  • From: kimmer127
  • Description:

    Today was the first decent day for riding since I took delivery of my RoadGlide last Friday barring those Sunday when I was committed to non-cycling family events.  My ride was waxed and polished and ready for the road.  It was a brisk 5 degrees Celsius or about 41 for my American friends.

    I headed out onto the highway to really get the measure of thi9s new ride.  The customizations include Reinhart exhausts, Big Sucker Stage I air cleaner kit and the 95 Cu inch kit.  The exhaust sounds wicked and the response to a touch at the throttle makes me grin insanely.  Hamilton and the Harley Dealer there are 62 km away.

    I was musing about my cyrrent book.  I am re-reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; a book I read when it first was published in the 70's.  My return to riding has seen a huge shift in my thinking and in my sense of priorities.  Things change a lot when you retire and are no longer "on the clock"  I was caught up in thinking about the "rightness" of spending so much time out on the road doing what I am passionate about when a sign for a small side road off the rural route I was transiting.  My name!!!  This road is named in my honour!! 

    My name is Kim and my grandchildren call me Kimbo (my wife's choice).  And there is was.  The affirmation I sought for these hours of pleasurable riding.  It must be a sign I was on the right track.  It wasn't much of a road.  Just a 1/8 mile of potholes copnnecting some farm houses to the main route but it had my name on it.  And, the bonus was the beautiful little stream beside it.
