• Helmets

  • From: Randolpho
  • Description:

    The first helmet I bought when I started riding (again) was an Arai full face. It's quite snug and very warm, not withstanding all the obvious. I purchased a neck gator (dickie) from the snowmobile section of the Honda store for around $8.00. It's very thick and very warm, almost a foot long so it can be tucked up under the chin strap and still stay put under the collar of my jacket.

    I really pefer an open face helmet with a face shield that I have adapted to accept a visor, but

    Hello from France.

    Well I have found a camera over here on Ebay and it seems OK, its an EAGLE 100 by Somikon, basic cam with  AA batts inside and up to 8 Go Sd card, can be used direct to the TV or PC via USB connection and well the price was less than 50 euro.

    It has an elastic strap to fit it to your helmet but I don’t like that much, it comes with a tube fixing and that seems the best solution, got to work something out as my tests gave me a bad neck trying to keep up with the vibration of the cam.

    The quality of image is very good for something a cheap as this, so lets get down to my posting, CAM v CAM, when you get pulled over by the police in a lot of places you are being filmed, so now when you talk to the occifer stand in front of your bike so that when he gives you a test of your helmet by hitting you as hard as he can with his riot stick you now have it on film, try improving the sound gain on your cam so when he starts talking about the married status of your mother and father you again have it on film.

    When it goes to court and the occifer states his cam was not working well because he pulled the fuse, you can say “ ok judge you can watch my film if you want to”. You have fun and enjoy yourself, and as other people have said, once you start you cant really stop, I walked round the house filming, the garden and our village, must get it on the bike without all the vibration. If somebody has the same I would love to know how you fixed yours as I have seen a clip with it used on a BMX coming down a mountain side with the exception  when the guy fell over the side all was good, I sent him a mail but he has not replied yet ( maybe injured or dead )

    Keep the Grey coming long and slow.

  • From: BearKiller
  • Description:

    I’ve got over 3,000 miles on my Bridgestone G019 205/60-16 “V” rated rear car tire so far. I just installed a Bridgestone Battlax BT016 160/60-17 rear tire on the front of my Valkyrie. I mounted it backwards of coarse. First I’ll go over the install of the front tire. Check out the attached photos. Now between myself and my two friends Aaron and Dennis we had never experienced a tire bead wrinkle up like this one and we've been around. Of coarse we had never attempted to mount a rear tire on a front wheel either.
    
    We had a heck of a time figuring out how to get the bead to seat. We tried the old ratchet strap trick but eventually it took Aaron and Dennis just using their hands and one knee and a lot of tire goop to finally get an air seal. In 90+ degree heat it was a heck of a work out. At least it was for them cause I was taking pictures. hehe
    
    Even after the bead was set and the tire aired to 42 lbs the outer edge of the tread retained a series of wrinkles. Neither of us can explain this. We thought it was because the tire was too wide. That couldn’t be since I have seen bikes with rear tires three sizes wider than stock that didn’t wrinkle like this. Any thoughts?
    
    Anyway I went out this morning to scrub in the tire on one of my favorite routes. I live in Modesto.

    I took it easy for the first leg to just before the “Junction” then I got up on top of the bars with my elbows out and started to ride like I had a “set”! I have to say wrinkles and all the mighty Battlax stock like bubble gum after a week on the sidewalk! I was even dragging my fog lights mounts, and the lights themselves!, that I mounted under the engine guards! Needless to say I'm very happy with how this experiment turned out. I may go with a 150 series tire next time if for no other reason to try and get rid of those darn chicken strips on the front tire! LoL!

  • Description:

    HI; first before you break off the bolts. get some WD-40 or Nuts Off. and lube up the threads so that they won't get hot  and break. Remove them slowly. If they break then you will need some thread certs or try to retap the holes.  When you get the bolts out take a tap and run it throught the holes to repair the damaged threads. This will help

• 2006 Softail seat strap

  • From: medic3799
  • Description:

    I bought a used 2006 Softail.  Did some work on it over the weekend, and noticed that the seat strap had come apart and the previous owner had repaired it with a rivet. This makes it impossible to take the seat off without going through an ordeal!

     

    Anyways, while I was playing with the seat and sissy bar, I noticed also that the bolts that secure the seat strap are almost stripped.  Kind of like someone didn't know what they were doing. m I plan on getting them replaced, h

    Hiya Bill, couple of suggestions for you,

    One, get a Honda(joke, sort of)

    two.  Mustang makes great seats

    three, don't know about where you live but here we have a local guy that makes up seats to order.  If I said cheap he wouldn't appreciate it but for $90.  you get a great seat, so check around locally.

    four.  You could get a back support, as in a belt, it helps keep your spine straight.

    Kyle Bradshaw here to share with you the things I find necessary when hitting the road...

    Read the Story: Long Haul Necessities

    I believe there are 5 Essentials that every biker should take with them on any ride:

    1. Camera: Documenting and sharing the ride is always great fun! I use a Casio Exlim
    2. Water: Bottled or Hydration Packs are the way to go!
    3. Tire Repair Kit: Progressive Suspension or Slime Tire Repair are two kits I have used which have worked well. 
    4. Tools: Cruz Tools make some great kits. 
    5. Fuel

    Essential Clothing

    • Rain Gear
    • Heated Gear
    • Cooling Vest

    Other miscellanious items I find useful:

    • Sun Screen 
    • Flashlight: I prefer LED over the other options
    • Insect Repellant
    • Tie Downs: I prefer adjustable ROK Straps
    • Spot Finder

    Now... What do take with you when you hit the road?

    Please comment, write your own story, or record your own video documenting your biker essentials!

I was having to hold my coat on with my left hand, and the buffeting was horrible.

  • From: RMFIII
  • Description:

    It looks like you have quick release mounts for your shield and if so just loosen one of the clamps and slide the acessory socket bracket under the strap and tighten down. You may have to cut the bracket in half but it will still work fine. You can run your wires under the frame covers then on to the battery for a clean install.  Just make sure the jack is waterproof. I installed mine on the left side facing me which allows for easy use while riding. I will try to get a pic up.

• A stop to saddle bag slippage

  • From: TheTopTron
  • Description:

    Hi Folks,

    This is just a quickie tip that might help a few folks out.  I recently mounted a set of Saddleman Jumbo bags on my ride.  Everything was done properly per the enclosed destructions.  However, the bags kept sliding all over the place and that vexed me a bit.  What I did to remedy this was to put a couple of strips Velcro on the rear fender and that has held the bags firmly in place. 

    I made a 4" square patch of Velcro by placing two strips of the 2" stuff side by side and cutting with the hook and loop sides stuck together.  I pulled the adhesive protector off of one side and stuck them to the top center of the fender where I wanted the bags to stay.  I then pulled the adhesive cover off of the now top side of the Velcro.  I carefully centered the bags then let them down on to the Velcro.  I pressed the bag strap down on it for a couple of minutes.  The bags have stayed perfectly in place.  If I need to remove them for whatever reason, merely peel the bags off the Velcro and they are off that quick.  Hope that helps!
