- From: manybikes
-
Description:
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.

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.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. A QuickSet4 Mount Kit is required to fit these particular Chrome Lowers.Vstream Windshields: National Cycle revolutionizes windscreen performance with the new VStream®!

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.

More Details About My VTX1800
- From: dougtaro
-
Description:
I purchased my 2006 VTX1800 Retro in the summer of 2008, about one month after my wife passed away. We each had a motorcycle at the time; hers was a Honda 250 Rebel, and mine was a Honda Shadow Sabre 1100. I sold both bikes and combined the cash, plus a little more, and bought my VTX.
I absolutely love this bike! Sure, there are quicker and faster bikes on the market, but this bike has power to last for days. It feels like it will pull me up the side of a cliff. I have put over 15,000 miles on it since I bought it.
UPDATES:
Since I purchased the bike, I have upgraded the following:
- 4" pullback risers. Even though I'm 6'0'' tall, I found my back becoming fatigued while riding, and I wanted a more kicked-back feel. The risers did the trick. I did not have to modify the brake or throttle lines at all either.
- Brake-Away products cruise control. I have never had a cruise control (actually a throttle lock) on a motorcycle before, but with the VTX and the longer distance rides, it became a necessity for me. I use it when I need to relax my right arm or flex my fingers. It's also fun to wave at other riders with the "wrong" hand! This unit works fantastic!
- Road Burner 2:1 headers. I bought these pipes for two reasons: 1) to provide for more clearance to mount my fiberglass saddlebags lower, and 2) because they look and sound great. The stock pipes were just too quiet. I don't like really loud pipes, so these added just enough to make the bike heard.
- Kuryakyn passenger floor boards. These floor boards are a great match for the stock rider floorboards, and they provide a much more stable platform for the ride to rest their feet on. Climbing on and off the bike is much easier for the passenger as well.
- Kuryakyn Air Master Fairing with audio unit. This is probably the single-most important addition to my bike. If I had to choose only one accessory to add, it would be this one. The fairing works 100 times better than any windshield I've tried, and it has a built-in stereo system to boot! Looks fantastic as well.
- Cobra steel light bar. I like the higher visibility that the two extra lights provide, and this light bar is the best looking one that I found. I had to fabricate a special extension bracket so that the light would clear the Air Master Fairing.
- Invicta Motorsports LS002 Pro fiberglass saddle bags. These bags come with a mounting kit for the VTX 1800, but you're basically on your own trying to figure out how to mount them. With the stock pipes, they sat way too high for my liking (see Note 3). So I bought the Road Burner pipes and then had custom mounts fabricated.
- Cruiser Backrest Deluxe Backrest/Brackets/Carrier Rack Kit. A must if you're going to have passengers!
- Ultimate X Seats. Rider, passenger, and passenger backrest. Absolutely the most comfortable motorcycle seat I have ever ridden! Easily ride for 200 miles (a full tank) without stopping or shifting in my seat to relieve butt pressure.

You CAN fight the system!
- From: CromagnaMan
-
Description:
Sometimes … not often mind you … but sometimes … you can actually change the official “stand” of a major company to admit that they don’t know everything about a product they sell.
The super streamlined and cool looking windscreen on my motorbike is manufactured by National Cycle and it’s called the “Plexistar 2”. They have always produced a fine line of products, and from my experience, they have always been of first rate quality.
I originally saw this magnificent windshield on a Honda Shadow and I truly loved it! It's a very "cool" aerodynamic design … sleek and slick … complete with hand-wings to protect the hands from wind and bugs going down the road. I wrote to National Cycle to ask if it would fit my 3rd Generation Magna.
Their answer?
"No!"
I went back to my buddy's motorbike where I had seen the wind screen in the first place and carefully measured the shield. I measured the headlight opening, the height, width, everything! Again I wrote to National Cycle ... and telling them of my careful measurements ... asked again if it would fit the Magna.
Their answer again?
"No!"
This time though, they advised that I could buy the shield if I wanted to despite the fact that it would not fit. They indicated they would not guarantee that it would fit ... and would charge me a $25.00 "restocking fee ... so as they put it, “Let the buyer beware".
Well, I ordered it ... and the thing fits as if it was designed for the Magna ... and I sent them photographs to prove it!
Now … all of a sudden … I see that it’s advertised as fitting the Sabre AND the Magna!
They should pay me a commission! LOL!
(Point of fact though … the Magna has a 1” handlebar and the windscreen comes with a 7/8” mount … so be sure if you’re ordering this for a Magna, you specify that you will need the 1” mounts!)

Mount Lofty Ranges meets the s
- From: Robin001

Description:
The Mount Lofty Ranges run roughly north to south behind South Australia's capital city Adelaide. In th the south the Ranges meet the sea on the Fleurieu Peninsula. In this area the Ranges have few trees. Many think the area was cleared for farming but this is incorrect. The sweeping roads are a motorcyle riders heaven and hundreds of bikes can be seen riding through this area each weekend.
