    Honda Shadow Riders

    Here you go boys! Did a little modding over the winter. I couldn't find a set of hardbags that I liked, or that went with the lines of the bike. So I went on ebay, and bought a pair of rear fenders and made my own. 9.5" wide, and frickin deep and long!! Had a few issues with the abs fabrication...

    Honda shadow hole saw mod

    I did it on my 2009, then got a set of Vance and Hines Short shots over the winter. No need to rejet on either the hole saw mod or the V&H pipes. I liked the sound of the hole saw mod, ran it like that from June to Nov. The mod itself took about 20 minutes. I did a vid of it when I did the mod...

    Calculating taxes/duties at the border

    Depends on where it was made, and if you had it shipped to where you are picking it up PRIOR TO CROSSING. You re looking at a minimum of $130 in HST either way, if it was made outside the us, then duties will be calculated before the hst, and hst will calculate on that new combined value. Duty...

    What constitutes a full stop?

    I remember seeing a comedian do the same joke, but changed it up as having the deputy being played by Jack Nicholson.

    LED Lights

    Aimed down or bouncing off the bike is fine. I've been doing automotive lighting for six years now, and started on the bike this year the day I got her home.From those pics you shouldn't have any issues.

    LED Lights

    Smutty, you might want to have a look at HTA 62(2) an (3). You are only allowed a single brake light. (14),(15), and(16) deal with other colours and the restrictions on strobing/flashing. In regards to lighting up void spaces, it's generally discretionary in the officer's part, but even a solid...

    LED Lights

    Simple answer, no. Depending on what colour it fades you could be violating a few different sections of the HTA. Stable colours only on the road, and never red.

    LED Lights

    You also know of the Oz? I bought all the gear for my Santa Fe through them. Great guys. I have the 12v Remote control, and LED pods from them for the LED's on my bike. The install is VERY easy! Just remember the rule "See the light, not the source." You must find a way to hide the lights so...

    Geek rider?

    Does your family ask you tech questions all the time... You might be a geek. If you know the home address for a router to change the settings... You might be a geek. Are you the person everyone you know goes to instead calling tech support when something goes squirrelly on their machines... You...

    Cheap GPS device @ Canadian Tire, may be great for warm weather rides.

    I've been hacking about with iGO since 2007 (same Spawn that did the skinning work on it). I just grabbed a Magellan 1424 to run iGO on it. Of all the apps i've used for nav, it's def one of my favs.

    Atgatt

    I was out again today for around 2 hours, and again in full gear. I'm gonna go with Nyx on this one. I used to teach first aid, and have seen a fair bit of road rash. It's just not worth the risk. And i'm in a full textile jacket, no mesh yet.

    Atgatt

    Being the recipient of the recessive redhead gene in my family, i have little choice but to go full gear, lest I burn like a lobster. An underarmour shirt, t-shirt, armoured textile jacket it is. Make a few stops to hydrate, and all is well. Just common sense IMO.
