And the 114 gets water cooling on the heads

Only on the Touring and Trike models, there's no place to hang the rads on the others.

Being as it is an 82, most of the parts have gone obsolete through Honda. That being said, your first stop should be at your dealer to see if there's a Hail Mary chance of one being in stock. If you're not already a member of a CX500/650 owners forum, you should sign up on one. Owners forums are the...

Go to www.partscanada.com, scroll down to "Learn More", select "Catalogs", then select the "Street" catalog. There's a section in there on handlebars and risers, some of it is bike make and model specific.

You will most definitely need longer cables and wire extensions if you plan on installing apehangers. If you're open to other options, a set of 4" pullback risers using the stock handlebars can usually be installed without changing cables and is a good alternative to apehangers. Where in Canada are ...

I stopped riding with groups because they don't practice what they preach. Seconded. I was heavy into the riding club scene for decades, but in the last 3yrs I've been doing solo rides and avoiding group runs. There are very few people I trust enough to ride with and I find the journeys are more en...

Probably not a bad old thread to have bubble back to the surface, for anyone unfamiliar with group ride etiquette...

And the "Oldest Thread Resurrection Award" goes to...

We all get crazy ideas sometimes.

As someone with four ex's, I can't argue that point.

Mike, my brain can't even process the thought of you without a bike. I'm digging the SG there.... that's definitely you! 8) Jon, there were a several people who seemed to take my decision harder than me! A couple of regular customers even got snarky about it and would give me a hassle every time th...

Sold the Road Glide and bought a Jeep last June, thought I could retire from riding after 37yrs. I was wrong. Forgot that I work at a motorcycle dealership and when this mint 03 Super Glide Anniversary Edition showed up last month, well, I could not resist...

2000 Yamaha V-Star 1100.

After 3 years of not having a motorcycle, I got another one.

Excellent news, congrats!

Hell to the no. Fail. So many styling miscues that I don't know where to begin. The radiator looks like an oversized afterthought from the parts bin, the gas tank protrusions resemble Ron Perlman's hacked off horns from the Hellboy movie, the exhaust header looks like intestines spilling out from an...

Finally rode Zero home today. There was a delay due to a registration glitch that was finally resolved yesterday and the bike is now in my name, with a new Veteran plate that I installed this morning. Decided not to store it at the shop over the winter, as I already have my Road Glide there and with...

Drag it out on too the street, beat it with a club, stone it with rock and then burn it with fire until it is nothing more then a bad memory and a melted pool of metal and plastic.......

I like "Zero."

Named after the character in the 2003 movie "Crime Spree".

A shot of my two rides together...

Well, dammit. Thanks to Photobucket getting all greedy, all the pics in my blog are gone because I refused to pay their ransom to keep them online. Peckerheads. Anyway, working in a dealership has proven to be hazardous to my bank account once again. We got a mint 2002 HD Heritage Softail in on trad...

I went with "Awesome". Like it or not and all pro/con arguments aside, this IS the future. Electric vehicles have come a long way and are no longer viewed as expensive, awkward, limited use oddities. I got absolutely smoked by a Tesla the other night at a stop light, the light turned green and he wa...

The Guzzi, because I've always had a soft spot for them.
The Indian, because it would be my eye candy ride.
The Vulcan because it is a tried and true platform without a lot of unecessary gimmicks.

Harley unveiled their 2018 lineup yesterday, and while there really wasn't anything new besides colours and M8 motors in the Softail family, the shocker was the elimination of the entire Dyna lineup. The Low Rider and Street Bob names still exist, but have now been tacked onto Softail variants. I've...
