    LED CREE headlights , better than halogen/hid

    I bought a set of H4 LED (USA CREE) bulbs for my gixxer from the show last year from a local supplier, he compared them side by side with HID and I was very impressed how bright they were.....big waste of 190 bucks!!! I went for a night ride and they were horrible, I tried make them work better...

    Was talking to a guy yesterday and he asked what happened to me as I was hobbling around with my cane, I replied "bike accident".....turns out it was this riders boss.

    Tire advice

    Different tires and compounds work differently on all bikes, as Shaman stated with running different tires on a high HP bike.....your tire opinions should include your bikes power and your riding style IMO. A great tire can get a bad name with a bike and style not meant for its design.

    Best chain lubes

    Tirox is my choice, not messy and keeps my chain looking clean....been using it for years and the chain holds up nice as well as looking better than new untill I replace it.

    Insane Toronto Weather - Summer SS Tires

    Some do ;), been riding for 10yrs now and have never owned a set of "street" tires.....ran race DOT's for years and now just groove my used slicks. You just have to adjust your riding style according to the weather

    what do you think is the best DOT race/track tire for a lightly wet track?

    Me either, other than the usual *** pucker to hold you to the seat it's a nice casual ride and the track is pretty much empty too.....typically just called off for a heavy downpour or lightning.

    LF: GSXR K1ish guage cluster

    Need the case for a gixxer 01 1000 cluster (broken from crash) so only the case needed but will buy a complete unit....600/750/1000 will work
