15' should be plenty

A HID setup can not be run from the AC side like the stock light. Switching the tail/brake lights to LED's may help reduced the extra stress to the charging system. This pic is the HID on the ammmeter (a spike to 7.93A then slowly settles at 3.62A http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/trafficjamz...

my Race bike has no battery and no rectifier....still has lights.

I didn't know the headlamp was on AC ? I didn't even know a 12v light bulb work on AC. The diagram shows the headlamp, bystarter, and meter lights running on the same circuit, so they are all on AC? And the brake lamps and turn signals are on battery DC voltage. After looking at the manual again, i...

No it wont fit.(se50 cover)

I have tried it

i do think the dd50 will fit iirc

I was thinking I could simply wire in the a 25w 6.8ohm resistor in place of the headlamp. That will simulate the load of the headlamp bulb, and I believe protect the other bulbs. I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that the regulator works off the load it is seeing, and by altering that, it changes ...

Why do you think acceleration was weaker with the 8.5's?
I switched from 8.5's to 7.5's and gained some top end.
But I always thought the 8.5's had better acceleration.

UPDATE!!! Hey guys, first off thanks for all the help and knowledge through this process. I, myself, successfully de-restricted 2 of the parts but when I couldn't get the nut off the variator, I knew it was time for professional help. I ordered a #78 main jet off of Ebay and dropped my torn apart b...

One more question and I will stop. If I were to compare a 94-01 Elite with a AF16 engine to a Spree with a AF16 engine which one is a better ride ? By better I mean smooth ride, good handling, better brakes, faster. If anyone has driven both, please share the info. Elite is a better ride. It has be...

pressing gears is pretty easy. Here are some pics of my first time doing it. sprayed it with WD 40 and put it in the press. http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/trafficjamz2/100_2420.jpg http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/trafficjamz2/100_2422.jpg http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/t...

Greetings: I believe it was the Right Venerable Bakaracer-san who dissected a PG Long back in 2009 or so. The pipe is very lightweight, has no centerstand bumper, and intended for buttery-smooth racetrack pavement. It just isn't built to handle the Mean Streets and real-world issues of potholes, cu...

if you a want to do 55mph without revving to the moon. dont go with 9.1 gears. 8.4:1 would be much better. If you do a zx trans i wold recomend 8.0 or 7.5 gears. Thanks for suggestions guys. I'm thinking I'll try 8.4:1 first and if the low-end feels like it needs some help, get a ZX trans. If I wen...

All spree seats are the same

Big bore kits require that you do some work to the head and re jet the carb to work correctly.
