If the raising of the seat is something that is to be avoided due to passenger or gear, I can understand wanting a fuel door.
but if they came with one from the factory you can be sure that there...
What is the situation like when you need to remove a tire that has Ride-on in it?
Does it create an ugly mess for the tire tech?
Does it screw up TPM's?
On the GL 1500 in my Iron Butt Challenge days I used an insulated 1 gallon water jug that I converted to a drinking device. Strapped it into the passenger seat. I did use an angled bite valve. ...
Thanks guys.

I am wondering if anyone here knows if there is a clear coat in a rattle can that would be compatable with that which is used on my 2010 black RT.
My story: I got a scratch on top of my front...
I have never heard any thing that I would describe as a whine. Other than on this forum, that is! When riding all I hear is caused by the loose nut on the end of the handlebars.
Google SAE panel mount plug. I mounted one in my left saddlebag. This is the plug that comes on better battery chargers. I ran mine directly from the battery with an inline fuse close to the...
I remember putting a pine 2x6 on my office chair to toughen up my butt, weeks before a trip, when I toured on my Norton. Over the years I tried many different things. Always been fond of the...
Lots of good stuff available for painted and plastic, but for the windscreen there is nothing better than Plexus. I even use it on my glasses (plastic lenses).

The bead material on modern tires will not survive being unmounted and remounted.
One more comment and then I will let it rest. Putting black tape on your face shield is not anything like using a Super Visor. I've done that too. It is not even close. When you put tape on your...
It mounts to the face shield. I have had mine on a HJC IS Max modular. Before gluing in place, tape it on and ride toward a setting sun. Adjust as needed as the sun gets lower.
When satisfied,...
I have been riding for over 50 years. I would not ride without a Super Visor on my helmet.
I have no connection with this company.

Copper Spyder,
I really appreciate the info. I seriously had no intentions of messin with the master cylinder. I was planning to mount my slave cylinder to the backside of the aluminum casting. ...
Thanks to all.
GWolf, I do have jack stands.
CopperSpyder, I have already removed the pushrod that goes from the brake pedal and sticks into the master cylinder boot. Does this mean that the...
Thanks to all.

I am building a hydraulic hand brake assist for my 2010 RT. The master cylinder is mounted and turned out to be a bit of work but a very neat installation. I can provide pics and info if anyone is...
The old rule of thumb here in Wisconsin, where there are 2 seasons, road construction and salt, one would not ride a motorcycle on the road until after the first serious rainstorm.
I always cringe...
Back in the day when I did my touring on a Norton, my favorite tool roll was the bottom half of the leg of a pair of blue jeans with one end sewn shut. It's better to kneel on than gravel or...
Yes and yes.
Fight nice boys.
Thanks all.
That is the info that I needed.
This is what I did on my GL1500 when I was doing Iron Butt challenges.
1 - 3 gallon aluminum tank in each saddlebag.
A fuel pump normally used in aircraft.
Some electrical switches.
Brass Tees....
I know of one situation where a guy was giving rides to kids on his motorcycle on a dead end road. A neighbor called the cops. He was charged and convicted of child abuse and will forever be listed...
Is there an intended use for the 2 tray areas under the seat ?
What are these 2 clips for ?
