So am I alone in thinking that using mods as a selling feature is going to backfire? You added new levers, changed the exhaust, added a powercommander, cool. Whatever. This actually detracts from my interest if I'm being honest. You did unscheduled modifications from who knows where. This...

If I was riding around on a stripped axle and castle nut, what could I expect to happen to my rear tire? I took in my bike to kahuna for new tires. This should have been a one day job. Midway through the day I'm informed that my axle and nut are stripped. The bike was fine prior to that. I had...

Anyone do this in the area? I've got a waterproof textile outer shell for one of my jackets that got rashed on one side. It's no longer waterproof there. Looking to have it restored/re-sealed.

Dude(tte)s. I'm looking for the perfect waterproof track style boot. I know this doesn't exist so I've come looking for recommendations to get as close as possible. I'll be wearing them primarily in wet or colder conditions. What's prompting this purchase is the upcoming rainy season and the...

So I've encountered this part before but was never inclined to find out more. Now that I'm in super cleaning mode and disassembling more of the bike I want to know what it is, and why it's got some dark liquid "gunk" in it. It's connected to the air box and just kind of dangles beneath it into...

Having taken my bike to work today I had no choice but to ride back in this crappy weather of ours. I've ridden in the rain before but I would have to say today was the heaviest I've been out in on the bike. I had a 30km commute from Brampton to Toronto, and by the time I hit the city streets in...

I'm looking to get some replacement levers (clutch+brake) for my bike and would love not only recommendations for specific types but even better would be recommendations for Canadian retailers, be they local or online. While we're at it recommendations for Canadian retailers of general...

I'm about to buy a used bike but I've noticed a bit of rust on the lower part of the exhaust. It's not overly worrying but I'd like to clean it up just the same once I take it into possession. What's the best way to go about cleaning this? Dish soap + steal wool? Something like Nevr-Dull? After...
