    Where can I get stick-on lead weights?

    Any local bike shop can get them from Motovan.

    Part availaibility for old bikes?

    My personal experience from my 86 Interceptor is Honda is rapidly reducing parts availability. For example, Honda no longer makes the right rad hose, valve cover gasket, and who knows what else. Good thing those bikes really don't need many parts. And yes, old bikes are awesome!!!

    HID vs brighter bulbs

    A few years ago I wanted a brighter head light as well. I tried a Phillips X-treme Power bulb and love them. Way more light than the old halogen, street legal and installs in minutes. They also seem to last, I am starting my 3rd season on the same bulb. Link...

    2009 Honda CBR RR Vin question

    The bike's colour is not coded in the VIN and it is stamped by machine. Maybe take a pic (and remove a few digits) and post it here...

    GPS Wiring

    A relay is not needed and adds a point of failure. GPS use very little current (< 1 amp) so just use an inline fuse and and maybe a switch.

    BMW owners movement!

    Are the bikes better built than the cars? After a few years the plastic parts on my BMW 530 cracked, the final stage for the blower shorted out and killed my battery, and the electric cooling fan shorted out, caught on fire, and blew a 50 amp fuse.

    Mine was also about the same... The battery that comes with the camera is 1110ma/hr. The hi cap is 1750 ma/hr and is the same as some older kodak cameras. (so I now have 5 spare batteries!) The drift can also be powered from the usb port and switch to battery when usb power is interrupted.

    I use Adobe Premiere CS5 running Win7 x64, 12 gig Ram, on a nice Aurora Alienware pc or my Mac Book Pro when on location.

    HD helmet cams

    In my opinion the image quality is about the same on all the $300ish cameras, which is not very good. I don't care about how the colours look, as I colour correct my videos to make them look as they should. Good audio is more important than good video. I don't like the large frontal area of the...

    HD helmet cams

    You are right about the remote... I did a driving school at Mosport on Sunday and it was nice to simply hit the button on my wrist to start/stop recording.

    HD helmet cams

    First demo is on the front page of my site: http://motorvate.ca I have re-rendered the video down to 640x360 from 1280x720 so it can stream from my site, but after some quick testing it may not play without stopping. I am still working on the site and trying to optimize streaming video. I had...

    I picked up the HD170 Stealth. Audio quality is great with the external mic. Picture quality is on par for a $300 pov camera. Night mode seems to work very well in low light conditions. I will be doing more testing as the weather warms up.

    Thanks for posting this camera. I think this is the one I will pick up. External audio is very important to me.

    Tire balancer

    I don't take off my rotors to balance my tires... This pic was taken when I was fitting the YZF front end to my VFR.

    Tire balancer

    This is what I do for my street and track bike. The shaft is from an old dot matrix printer that held the print head, (Commadore 1526) and $2 bearings from Princess auto. I balance front and rear.
