    2016 Vancouver Motorcycle Show

    ...it won't play 1080p by default...you have to click on the HD logo at the bottom right of the video window and choose whatever. It looks good on 60 inch screen then.

    easy 65W H9 upgrade for our 55W H11 high-beams

    Some of you may have noticed some parts lists show a H9 for the high and a H11 for the low. And in Canada and the USA we get H11's for both. H9's are legal and came stock in some cars. Now I suppose you could use a H9 for the low beam as well but it might be too bright and I think they generally...

    Pazzo levers and Progrip 714's

    Got the grips a few days ago and picked up the levers today. With these grips my right hand no longer bothers me. The levers sure look good and the levers adjust them with a satisfying click but curiously for me I like them as wide/far from the grips as they go. The rubber thing on the end of...

    Awesome 'in car' footage from this years Monte Carlo Rally

    ...as seen from one of the Ford's doing an entire stage. Conditions are cool with a bit of snow and ice on the roads here and there. Yes the Isle of Mann TT races and a few other motorcycle races left on public roads do still have similar incredible dangers (eg: hitting the corner of a stone...

    KTM 'All Elements Pack' made by OGIO

    page 97 in the KTM Powerwear catalog I'm very happy with it and it is pretty big for what it is. I often ride around with my Nikon, in camera bag with accessories, inside it. But it is useful for smaller grocery runs like today...15 pack of 355ml cans and 12 .5L cans which pretty much filled...

    Re: Recommended picture sizes

    I posted a few on my profile which appear really huge and without sliders to move to see the whole picture. What size is the max to show the entire picture (with no need to move it to see it all) and yet have the best quality possible? Thanks. I can resize those and any future ones accordingly...

    Repair/Workshop manual anywhere?

    Like this (Link removed due to Copy write Rules ) which is for the 2013 390 Duke. That does have things like adjusting valve clearances, motor dis-assembly, etc although in not as much detail as a Clymer or Haynes manual.

    'Made in USA' (Happy 4th) air filter...and some quality/assembly notes for mine

    Being anxious to give my new bike a 'steady diet of dirt' (like pretty much all the vehicles I had on the road the past 40-some years) I put a K&N 'Made in USA' air filter in it. When I loosened and removed the screws holding the gas tank cover on (the one on the right side from the location...

    How to adjust headlight height-wise?

    Having lowered my RC 390 30mm at the seat (RC 390) and raising the forks 16mm (instructions for the 30mm kit suggest 15-20mm) I suspected my headlights may need adjusting. Haven't riden it at night yet but I just started it up as it was just dark enough to check and Jesus Christ they are...

    Fierce glare from the display in sunlight...

    I just noticed a few times on the ride I just finished. Enough to have my eyes hurting and even looking straight ahead when it happens it still is annoying. I've got a new pair of prescription sunglasses some where (lots of stuff mislaid from the move into the place I bought) which are supposed...
