    B Town - represent!

    Hello folks, I'm looking to make some friends in the Brampton area and go for rides together on a frequent basis. I have a Yamaha V Star and would love the company of others with cruisers who are into leisure riding and not zipping between cars and speeding for no reason. Lol Evenings after 5pm...

    Adding a fuel gauge to a bike that doesn't have one..

    I'm absolutely loving the responses! Some of them made me chuckle. Yes, this a completely unnecessary thing to do and I just wanted to explore that possibility. And Yes, this is also time consuming but if a good solution were to be reached, I would imagine a lot of our fellow riders would be...

    Adding a fuel gauge to a bike that doesn't have one..

    Very interesting. But I think I'll have to drill a hole into the tank. No? Can't be as easy as replacing the current cap with the screw on can it?

    Adding a fuel gauge to a bike that doesn't have one..

    Its just a project I am considering for my bike so if I forget to reset the trip meter or am not paying attention to the odometer, I can have a backup visual solution. Its a nice to have.. definitely not a necessity.

    Adding a fuel gauge to a bike that doesn't have one..

    I'm planning to go on some serious road trips this spring/summer and was wondering if I could somehow attach a fuel gauge to my bike so I could tell what the level is. I'm used to motorcycles giving me the slight jerk when they're low on fuel and I'm very capable of switching to Reserve...

    Has anyone bought from RideBikeGear.com / anyone have any reviews on their products?

    I went there today and met Kyle. The saddlebags in question were really "you get what you pay for" and I did not buy them. The reason being that my laptop bag will not properly fit in them. He also showed me a larger 22 inch wide model for $500 but I cannot fit them on my bike unless I relocate...

    Oil inside Air Filter compartment

    Ok it definitely looks to be normal. I just got off the phone with a service technician at GP bikes and he pretty much said the same thing. The crank is vented to the air filter and the steam can make the oil condense there. He recommended leaving it alone but suggested wiping the oil off if...

    Oil inside Air Filter compartment

    So I got me a 2003 V Star 1100 yesterday and I was cleaning the bike today. I was curious to see what the air filter of the V Star looked like so I unscrewed the filter cover and took out the air filter. Everything seemed fine but in a few seconds I noticed oil dripping on the garage floor and...
