Sorry for the delay getting back. I've been on another project for the past few weeks. Fortunately that is about done and should be able to draw up the stand..

I should have some time in the next week or so and will make a print. Kind of a shame they won't make a short run of these. If there is anyone on here that works in or owns a metal fab shop I could email prints directly. If we can get maybe 5-10 people to buy in the cost will be much better...

I have looked all over looking for the receipt for this thing and can't find it.. I've had it a long time and maybe was on an old computer drive that is long gone. But I usually save the old paper copies for just this reason.. Here is a pic of the one I have. I also bought a big scissor jack at...

I clean and re oil sometime after about+5k miles. Takes longer to get to the dam filter then to clean and oil it. As you all know, what a dumb design.

Congratulations!

Where are you in NC? I'm near Winston Salem.

No.. going to stub out the starter button wires at the solenoid to a spot where I can get to it from under the seat, bypassing the handlebar button in the event it fails on the road.

That is a very good idea! The next time I'm in by the solenoid I'm going to put in a remote starter button. That will guarantee my starter button will never fail again!! 🙂

My 2009 is frozen also. Has been for a long time. I suspect from riding in all kinds of wet weather., And salt from up north.

I almost got stuck once because of the starter button. It's a cheap piece of crap that is open to the environment. Every year or so I disassemble where the button is and rub a old style points file on the contacts a few times. Never had the problem again. It is also difficult if not impossible...

Pics like that give me a sick feeling. I can still remember as a kid and my teen years going to the junk yard and seeing how smashed some of the cars were. Unimaginable people survived some of those crashes.

I live near King, NC. I have a small trailer and a ramp. I could potentially get the bike (I'm sure I can get some help to load it) from the impound lot of Kyle wants it and it can stay at my place to save storage fees. Very sorry to hear of your crash. Sounds like you're on the mend.

They are all a PIA. :-) The side with the radiator hose, front.. Drain the coolent and move that hose out of the way. My go to is a sparkplug socket the type with a rubber retainer in the socket. So 3/8 drive socket + 1" extension + universal. Take off Faux tank and scoops. Anything EZ to...

That is how I have done it many times on my 09

Do yourself a favor a pick up a Digital Multimeter at Harbor Freight or Amazon. Once you read the book/ instructions you'll be good. One day you'll think how did I ever get by without this thing. Guaranteed! :)
