Re: Muffler off; Mileage up

I bolted one of these on with a shim collar underneath to make up for the diameter difference... I then reversed the heel guard and it sits flush above the bolt on area of the tip..this gives a nice clean appearance.

Re: Brake pedal height adjustment?

The threaded stop, even when screwed right out, returns to press the brake light actuator when the pedal is released. Think it would be dificult to stop this happening, but a valid point. yeah, somehow in doing the above and shortening the master cylinder pushrod as much as possible, I was able to ...

Re: Brake pedal height adjustment?

Got standard footrests.I lowered my brake pedal by unscrewing the stop screw as far as it would go. Shortened the master cylinder push rod, undo locknut first, so that the brake was not held on.I rarely use the pedal but I can now get on it faster than before. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!... one thing y...

Re: Brake pedal height adjustment?

I took another look at that footpeg lowering kit and they show it with the bracket that holds the pegs, suggesting they provide a modified bracket that also lowers the brake pedal mounting position and therefore the pedal itself, but what you're saying suggests that isn't the case? Actually, they s...

Re:

Good job! That full sized case really makes a difference on trips. Yeah, that bracket isn't exactly pretty. I noticed you had to remove the passenger footpeg - did you do the same on the other side as well? Some of us modified the bag and used the original foot on the bike: http://www.lintners.org/...

Re: Muffler Removal - a Definitive Answer (finally!)

Re: Muffler Removal - Detrimental Exhaust Heat?

I recently removed my muffler and have been riding for about 500+ miles so far without it. I love the open sound and difference in the bike. I have been wondering lately if the exhaust heat affects my rear tire and wheel... I touched the tire earlier today after about 100 miles on some backroads and...
