    Accessorizing my SG

    Yep, I really like the newer version (more expensive) but the buying process is something I don't trust. If they would sell them on ebay I would buy them.

    Accessorizing my SG

    I don't like the stock muffler look, so the AEW's aren't for me. They do look nice though, I will give them that!.

    What did you do to your SG/SM today

    Took it for the first ride after installing my flyscreen yesterday. It actually makes a difference at 50+mph. Not a huge difference, but it definitely took away a little bit of the wind hitting me in the torso. I mainly wanted it to protect the gauges from flying rocks, but other functions are...

    Fork clamps and torque settings

    13nm is pretty close to most other bikes for a torque spec for that style of clamp. I would call that a good value to go with.

    Exhaust wrap

    That looks a million times better. Nice work, and nice looking bike.

    Accessorizing my SG

    Update on the various things. The new flyscreen I ordered is already in the U.S. and just left TN today, so hopefully I will have it by Tuesday, but some time next week for sure. I was also refunded for the other one that I ordered and never shipped. While annoying, it also worked out since it...

    SG range/low fuel light

    I figured. I do agree with you though, that extra half a gallon would be nice to have. If anything else I am just thankful we don't have Indian FTR1200 fuel tanks and economy.

    SG range/low fuel light

    In theory you could probably mount a SM tank to a SG, and vice versa. The SG tank was flattened a bit on the sides to make it narrower for the roadster style riding position and "mid" pegs. It might look a bit goofy, and there may be little fitment issues to figure out because of the slight...

    Accessorizing my SG

    I may order a set of bar ends after seeing that. I am still somewhat not sold on them, but I also can't find any normal mirrors to replace the ones on the bike that I actually like the look of. I am curious about that cargo net on you back seat. Is it working well? What brand is it?

    Accessorizing my SG

    This design has a flaw, the constant flexing at the mount points from the weight of the bags will likely/eventually cause fatigue at one of the 2 mount points. That is why all of the good racks for the Super Meteor have 3 point points, using the rear fender strut bolt position as a third, or...

    Exhaust wrap

    Except reason 4 has never been conclusively proven as most potential results fall within the margin for error, and thus remains inconclusive. This is specifically talking about the idea that the exhaust gas stays hotter, and hotter gas = maintained velocity = better scavenging. Nothing...

    Oil filter and capacity

    I bought a 6 quart box of Castrol Power 1 4T 10w50 from Amazon. It will be fine sitting on a shelf for a year or two no sweat. Technically speaking, per the manual, the oil change interval is 12 months or the mileage interval if reached sooner. I have another bike that uses that same oil and...

    Accessorizing my SG

    The saddle bag stays I ordered arrived this afternoon as did my sump guard. I didn't have a chance to install either of them, so it will wait until next weekend since I start my long week at work this week. The stays seem built sturdy enough to do the job of keeping the bags away from...

    Oil filter and capacity

    If you can't find anything around you, you can also order them through any parts store to pick up, and usually within 24-48 hours for most of them. Lucas 10w50 Synthetic Motorcycle oil and Castrol Power 1 4T 10w-50 Synthetic in particular can both be ordered through most parts stores. 3.1...

    Oil filter and capacity

    That is precisely who I bought mine from. Best price I could find too, and I could get it local to me since they are here in Omaha. I also agree, even if it is a few more dollars, it's only a few dollars. Why risk thousands of dollars for just a few dollars.

    Oil filter and capacity

    There are some "alternatives" that fit the engine, and they may be $8-12 cheaper, but I have to pose a question. At the end of the day $10 really isn't all that much money. Would you risk potential problems with your engine that will cost several thousand to replace all over $10? Obviously...

    Finding peace with a Shotgun.

    I don't always stop either, but I had been riding for the last hour or so and wanted to get a little stretch in anyway. This was one of those "stars aligned" type of moments. I also have a mild passion for photography and know the right lighting and atmosphere for a great picture or two. I...

    Finding peace with a Shotgun.

    Yeah, I have had a lot of those moments in my life where I was too busy to really enjoy it. Especially true when I was driving trucks for a living. I also don't tend to stop on a whim when riding with others, which is why I tend to ride solo a lot of the time.

    Modern day Bullet

    If adjusted properly, it should have all of the above. Some bikes have more room to work with than others though, maybe yours is just too limited.

    No Royal Enfield yet!

    Definitely get rid of the wrap. People do it for "performance" reasons, but there is no conclusive data that it helps keep exhaust velocity up. What it does do is help retain heat in the head since it can't radiate and be removed by convection of moving air, so the heat has only one place to...
