anyone know of a source for clear turn signal lenses???

Was hoping a few others could verify a distance for me....
For some reason I feel my front-end has dropped in the last few days, can't prove it, just a feeling I got while on a ride the other day, almost like a spring in one shock went away, and the other was left to hold the weight, therefore dropping a little.....
On my 13 CB sitting straight up, at rest, with almost a full tank of gas, and me standing over the seat taking the fork measurement, the distance between the top of fork seal to the bottom of fork clamp is 4.75", see attached pictures red lines, what are some others measurements?

I keep having issues getting into the site. Sometimes I can't get in at all, and others I get kinda half way in.

Yea or Nay?


Current.

BTW, I installed type2 low handle bar and love it so much!
Feel like cruiser bike transformed to sports bike.

Thought about this subject for a thread on this morning's ride as I was being pelted with a light rain. If you ride a motorcycle much you are going to have to ride in some pretty crummy conditions. It could be rain, or heat or cold or snow. Touring for as many years as I have I could relate stories about every climatic condition, but I think the worst has been rain.

2 times I have ridden in rain so hard and so long it flat wore me out.

First time my wife and I were on a tour to New England. Coming home as we entered Massachusetts it started raining. We quickly pulled over on a bridge overpass and donned rain gear. Then it really started raining hard and continued to do so and was still raining hard when we reached our hotel room in Catskill, New York. Even though we were wearing rain gear we were soaked to the bone and our hotel room looked like a Chinese laundry with clothes laid out on every surface drying. We had never been that wet before.

The next time was on a fall men's trip to the U.P of Michigan. We had stayed in a hotel in St Ignace. When we woke up it was raining really hard. No choice we had to ride and it would be 5 or 6 that night before we would get a room in Dundee, Mich on the Ohio border that evening. Our itinerary took us over the Tunnel of Trees road, a world famous motorcycling road, but the weather was so bad, with limbs and leaves littering the road and deep puddles we rode this great rode at 20 mph. Again it rained so hard it was hard to see the bike ahead of you. We got in the middle lane and just stayed there all the way down I-75. You can hunker down on a bike but you can't hide anywhere. Rain even drips inside the shield on your full face helmet, and you will find out if the head air vents work as water works it's way in if you forget to close them first. Again everything was soaked thru. We used the hand dryers in rest areas and hair dryers at the hotel to try and dry our " waterproof" gloves and boots for the next days ride to home, which thankfully was dry.

I know it's only water, but it can make you pretty miserable when there is lots of it coming down and you are on a motorcycle.

So what is the worst weather you have ridden in?

Who's bike? Surely a forum member or reader?

Dear friends,

Our local dealer (shame on their heads ) can't find part # of plug. Photo of the plug is below. May be someone can help me with this info?

Something I found on Facebook, but thought it was worth sharing. Quite touching.

This is Jacobi Oscar Kafer. I stopped for coffee & to go the bathroom at a Starbucks in the Venice, CA area, & this gentleman walked up to my cycle today to spray windex on it, & clean it. My first reaction was "Stay away from the bike" then I stopped myself; he looked broken & mentally & physically worn from the sun, so I turned to him and said "Go ahead and clean it, I'm gonna run into Starbucks for coffee, & when I come out I'll give you $10". I've been meaning to clean my bike but I just haven't found the time to do it. The Starbucks was busy & I wondered when I came back out if he would still be there. When I returned, he was working up, down, & all around the bike. I've had my bike detailed at my local Harley dealership & it costs around $150 for them to do the same job this gentleman is doing right now for a fifteenth of the cost. I finished my coffee & told him I didn't want to take up anymore of his time today. I reached into my pocket & pulled out all of the spare bills I had that totaled a whopping $36 & handed them to him. I said I wished I had more to give him, & the expression of respect and joy that built up inside of him was immeasurable. As I bent down to unlock my Helmet, and after I had put it on my head, I reached into my saddle bag to organize a few things I was carrying, and as I did this, he starting working feverishly scrubbing my helmet clean right as I knelt there wearing it. I thanked him for a job well done & went on my way. I got about a half mile away when I decided to turn around. I found Jacobi in the corner of the parking lot crying with his head held down as tears ran down the bridge of his nose, as if to say I've had enough of the struggle & humiliation today. I asked him if could please take a photo of him with my cycle so I could remember him & this job he has done so well. Again he filled with great joy and gratitude for the little bit of respect I bestowed upon him. He stood proud and strong with an inherent sense of satisfaction & pride for his ability to bring happiness to another person & to contribute to something that brought someone else so much joy today. I was homeless for about a year around 1990 & 1991, so I understand some of what this man has to endure on a day to day basis. As I thanked him again & began to exit, more tears started streaming down his face. I said to him "please don't cry" "I have an old friend named Jacobi, & now I have a new friend named Jacobi". I saw my own feelings of self worth and pride shining through Jacobi as if he was my own child. Never take for granted a helping hand. Even if it's from someone whom you truly feel doesn't have a helping hand to give. We are all one

Just got an email from Guth. He is locked out of the site

PARTY

Don't know if anyone else is having trouble logging on. Server people are looking into it, and Guth will check into the store link when he can get back in.

in addition........

it appears there is an issue with the store, so for now, the link (and thread) has been removed and when Guth gets the issues straightened out he will put the link back up

apparently honda may finally put the long rumoured cb1100r concept into production...
