I got some FW1 and was wondering if I could use this to clean the exhaust pipes. Also, would it hurt the seat if I used it to clean?

I just received the new issue of Hot Bike, I know it’s mainly HD bikes, but I’ve owned a few HD’s and it’s a nice reading magazine with some nice scenery with female models too.
Anyway, Drag Specialties advertises quite a few LED headlight assemblies, all round light shells and they appear to have a nice shell to enhance the LED bulbs with proper use of reflector and LED bulb. Not sure if they are plug and play or if a regulator is needed because of compatibility with lighting. But I wonder if they could be used on our pre ‘17 non LED headlight bikes with some minor mods to headlight shell and little to no wire cutting.
Are there any lighting experts here with any advice or experience with these or other aftermarket LED headlights we could get for our bikes?
I would guess a lot of us would be interested in this upgrade. It would still look stock, hopefully add some brighter and longer reaching light, and reduce heat and battery drain.
Just an idea. It looks like most of new bikes are headed towards LED headlights.

Has anyone been watching Ride with Norman Reedus? I have enjoyed watching it. The first show that I watched was when he was here in Charleston. Since then he has been up to the Blue Ridge (Deals Gap). Knowing that area, I was disappointed a bit, but there were some places that he went to that were cool. I would recommend watching it, and if you have never see Long Way 'Round, I recommend that as well.

I would love to be able to make a documentary like these, but I just don't have the funds, time, skill, and I am sure I am leaving out some things. However, in my head I have already done it. I look at photos of my trips, and I can piece together a show in my own head. I have met some really great people on my rides. It's what makes riding what it is for me.

Enjoyed this video. Hope you do as well.

Samurider is getting more coin from me. Every time I see pictures of our bike with the Comet fairing it looks better and better. Finally pulled the trigger and will be on alert for mailman delivering. I’ll post pictures after install.

May be a silly question, but have you guys noticed a difference between different brands of helmets when it comes to wind noise and overall quietness? I have a modular helmet and I think the extra seems are cause some pretty loud wind noise. And I wear ear plugs !!

I'm on my 3rd shield, just looking for something decent. The most recent one that's on the bike now is the 22" Parabellum Sport Shield, I took it down the hwy at speeds up to 65MPH and starting about 50, my helmet was vibrating so bad everything was a blur. Not what I expected. I'm not sure if one of the shield extensions would help any or if I would be wasting money trying one. Has anyone tried the extensions? The local dealer claims it is the best and only solution. I may go back to one of the shorter shield choices and forget about it. Frustrating.

Perfect day for riding this scenic rd between Natchez MS and Nashville, Tn
Temp in low 70,s and little traffic
Had to cut ride short as deer come out at 5 15

Hi Guys, I'm looking for an After Market seat for my 2013 CB1100.
I'm on the heavier side and find the stock seat a little unacomodating, looking at Corbin Gunfighter or K&N?

Hey Guys!

I haven't come across any mention in Honda's tech info on the CB1100 motor, and I just did a purty good search on this forum with no results.

Does anyone know if Honda did anything special with the CB1100 motor as far as piston coating or cylinder lining to reduce friction?? My '99 VFR had all kinds of factory ju-ju like ceramic/silicone cylinder lining and low friction piston coating.

In getting this motor to pass Euro emissions, I would expect Honda to use every trick in the book. Reducing friction inside would allow for a cooler running motor and more 'wiggle room' in meeting spec.

Anybody?
