Well I was very sure when I posted,,,,but I guess now I'll recheck the info I thought I knew.

DMr BD40 Series Rear Shock Designed and manufactured by a long time VTR rider. New DMr BD40 Series Rear Shock!!! This is really exciting news for us here at DMr - last month we released to the public our new shock, coined BD40 Series. A very brief back story: when I started this business over 19 yea...

I just picked my vtr up. Previous owner put a Wilbers "race" shock on it. Piggy back res, hi and lo speed adjustments. Never hesrd of them so looked it up, apparently well regarded brand and they go fo 11-1200aud. Best rear suspensikn ive had which isnt sayin that much, but it is very nic...

The bundle of wires and having everything set right back so the two prongs slide into the fairing stay enabling the alignment of the holes to get the mirrors on. Yup agree...that big ass snatch of wires at the front always has to be Richard with (Yes I see what i did there .....But I aint changing ...

IIRC the white plug is UK...

The funny part..... I wanted the UK left hand switch version and did the pin out and plug swap needed.
I see blokes on this page wish that had the US version..LOL

Thanks all... looks like I have a solution looking for a problem... :lol: I am MODDING my fairing wiring so that it will come off with just a single accessible connector vice the 8 needed to be done and undone now. Its mostly a conveyance thing, my big mits do not do well in working with the turn si...

What is your biggest beef or the thing you find most irritating with removing or reinstalling the faring from the bike? I have an idea for something but I’m not sure if it’s a solution looking for a problem So you need to take the whole fairing off.... what part of that process is most unpleasant? S...

Atm, I'm struggling with the wiring. I've said it was the battery box, but I was lying. it's the fecking wiring that I've been dreading. It fecking interesting to me the things one builder dreads is one of the things I look forward to. Envisioning a layout, planning a run, looking at it a a mechani...

Although wraps in theory could increase preformance by a very small amount..to me they just arnt worth it and end up looking ugly after a while. Yup wrap does look ratty after awhile (or the other types I have used do, we will see about this new stuff ) Im all for good looks and such, but Im more f...

Yeah thats what they say, keeps the energy in, thus the gas velocity, but like you say, probably not really measurable. The t-bolt clamps do look nicer. Slight derail; had right side link pipe of yesterday, seems the stock pipes are kind of restricted.. wher the two headers merge, then merge off ag...

as we all know, heat wrapping keeps heat in the pipes. This, as others have stated, helps reduce heat dispersion (in this case to the rads and shock). What is also does, however, is keep the exhaust gas temperature up, helping to improve gas flow and, wait for it..., increase power. So I did not po...

And i dont mean to be condescending, but the problem you will have with the T-bolt clamp, is; a) you wont really be able to open it over any flanges on the pipe without kinking the band a bit Umm, not taken that way at all Thanks :beer: And perhaps I've used different T bolt clamp types then you ha...

^ I use hose clamps They do work well to hold the wrap... Just like the look of steel ties better. That said...... perhaps a wide stainless steel T bolt hose clamp....... B553322[1].jpg Yeah those would look the goods but you get a pretty limited range of clamping travel (for want of a better termi...

What is the benefit of covering the downpipes with this kind of stuff? I have seen many times in " cafe racers", but thought that the only reason was the "cool look" For me its all about keeping heat away from things The front header transfers heat to the air stream that cools t...
