Trouble logging into homepage

Hello all,

Been away since the updated website went online and the new website is giving me some challenges.

I don't see a registration option for the home page.

Any help much appreciated,

tagordon

Re: Cafe' Racers - Ride Quality

Chuey, The 39mm forks on my R100 Cafe are fine for me, with the mods and adjustments I have made. Billet top clamp is big improvement over the stamped steel stock clamp. Solid clamp ons work great, no need for end weights. Progressive spring with 5/8" pre-load works for my 165lbs. I'd have to c...

Excellent traction in all conditions and temperatures.
As Blaise mentioned, sticky tires wear faster.

Re: Newbie Here! 86 R80N Getting Naked in progress..

2¢ on the subject of perch gear clamps. My perch wedges are safely stored away, somewhere. I prefer to have the clamps not so firmly tightened down. As my motorcycles occasionally find themselves horizontal. And for me, the common result of instances of motorcycles traveling horizontally vs vertical...

Re: C stand & Brake light help

Now I would check the connector at the harness. To be sure it's not just a lousey corroded connection.

jag beat me to it

Re: C stand & Brake light help

hudson, you say there is continuity from the wire's end back to the switch. So now check for 12V. Brown is the ground wire, connect that to the ground on your meter or test light. Then check the other two wires individually for 12V when the brake lever(s) are activated. The one that shows 12V when b...

Re: Top Triple Clamp Removal

That is a nice triple clamp. Is it stock for this bike? Not an OEM stock clamp. It is a billet aluminium item I got from San Jose BMW Racing Team's CC Products. Here's a link for the clamp: http://www.sjbmw.com/parts.asp#s=store&bid=4&mid=&src=&p=1&pid=33 I modified/upgraded the...
