    HID headlights

    As far as HID color goes believe it or not the closer you are to 3000K the whiter the light... 3600K is the closest to white you can get.... the 4300K is still a little blue but a whole lot better than the 5000K which was BLUE to say the least... so I would say to order something in the 3000K to...

    Carburetor choke shaft free-play

    They really didn't "wear out" they just got loose from years of heat, and vibration... it's not like they get moved around as much as the throttle shafts/plates do... the choke shafts and plates only get used at start up if the bike is cold.... Rich

    Mirror Modification for Fairing Mirrors

    I had mentioned in another thread of a different topic that I had a friend make a modification for me on my fairing mirrors... I had complained to him (a lot) that it was a constant P.I.T.A. to keep adjusting the mirrors while riding as they would continually "fold" in when I was driving faster...

    HID headlights

    OK, Here's the nitty gritty... The HID ballasts are are switching power supplies... they sometimes generate electrical/RF interference. RF Interference can be heard in your sound system as a humming, or buzzing or high pitched while that does not vary with engine speed or engine off.. sometimes...

    HID headlights

    I did a little research out there last night... There are also some versions of the H4 HID lamp with a SECOND halogen lamp mounted on the mounting plate that is used for the high beam application... I have not experimented with any of these bulb types, I have read though (on other websites)...

    4 inch pulley anyone?

    Do we have an engineering drawing of the latest revision for the 1100's pulley??? I have a friend who is an old Brown & Sharpe toolmaker and a machinist... I would like to show him the drawing for comments... He engineered up a fix back in 1984 for my fairing mirrors that were always loosening...

    Carburetor choke shaft free-play

    I had asked this same question about two years ago on a different GW website. If you get into the actual physics/analysis of the airstream passing the chokeplates and the purpose they serve, as long as the plates cover as much of the throat of the carb as possible, and don't stick or bind in...

    HID headlights

    Dan, I used the single beam HID lamps... the dual (hi/low) beam ones have a magnet and a coil mounted to the lamp assembly that when you hit the Hi beam switch, it uses the electromagnetic coil to tilt the HID bulb to a different angle.... this changes the focal point of the internal reflector...

    HID headlights

    Hi Dan and all, The HID headlight is a single beam (the ones that tilt the HID bulb to give you the "high beam" are too long to fit into the fairing without making a hole in it and I didn't want to do that just yet) 4300K (now) upgrade kit I bought off eBay for about 35 bucks... it came with...

    HID headlights

    Here is one more "upgrade" you can try: I did this along with the LED upgrades to ALL my incandescent lights on the bike AND am changing the 35W halogen Driving lights to HID as well... better have your sunglasses on at night if I'm behind you with all of 'em on!! Rich

    HID Headlight Upgrade... this one was a little too blue for me (5000K) so I replaced the bulb with a 4300K one and it's much better... visibility is AWESOME!!!

    Ham Radio

    My best guess would be eBay.... The TM V7a might be too much radio for your bike. Maybe an old Yaesu FT 5200 with a remote kit might be easier to find. Is there a part number for the control head? Also try searching YAHOO groups for a user group for that radio. Might find one for parts there...
