    Fender Eliminator Bolts won't come out

    If i remember correctly from when I removed my fender those bolts had a good amount of thread-locking fluid worked into them. i think i had to use a socket wrench with an Allen key attachment to remove them. Don't worry about breaking the bolts they can take a lot more force then you can give...

    Fork paint

    Does anyone have any experience removing paint/repainting forks? Someone decided to back over my bike last week and this was the result. http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae43/br1ngiton/Motorcycle%20Accident/IMG_0061.jpg I have tried to remove as much as possible but there is still a bit there.

    HID lights, 55w vs 35w

    *Not stock = not legal* but if you angle them right and don't give them another reason to pull you over, you should be fine.

    HID lights, 55w vs 35w

    Get the 35W bulbs. 55W bulbs are very hot and can melt your housing. As a side note I got the 35W 8000k HI/LO ones from DDMtuning and it blew a fuse my first week and died on me after the first season. Living in Canada they would not honor their warranty. Just some food for thought.

    Fuel tank breather hose leaking...

    That's normal, as the fuel heats up some of it is going to evaporate and escape out the tube. You sure the dripping is actually gasoline and not water vapor buildup?

    Do you ride without a windscreen a lot? I like to do it when i'm not going on the highways but I get the weirdest looks for it.

    What is your GPS setup?

    Safe for the phone or safe for myself? Its really easy to just glance down and check when the next turn is and its a good mount. It's been 10000km without a single problem and another 5000k on my mountain bike. Here are some more pics if anyone wants them. More pics

    What is your GPS setup?

    While TomTom is on the screen it doesn't dim or turn off. It is a large power drain tho. I hooked up a USB power port on my bike so it can run forever. Google maps does have a tendency to dim but I think that can be changed in the power settings.

    What number or really a high chance of rain for you

    I have had much better luck looking at the radar maps over reading what the weather people have to say. Around here if they don't know what's going to happen they throw a 30% at it.

    When to replace tires

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice as to when a tire need to be replaced. From what I gather you find the triangle on the side and if the groove that it is pointing to goes flat at a certain point the tire needs to be replaced. Also is it normal for a back tire to be worn out long...
