When it arrived the other day I just threw it on quickly to see if I'd be able to get both seats on. When it rains the water filters through and when it's hot there's plenty of air flow under you....

There was no way to mount the rack so I had to make a way. My father has a lathe in the basement that I used to make little attachment bits that I can braze into the gas tank and then screw a bolt int...

The bike refused to start and run normally. I looked in the tank and didn't like what I saw. So it's standard to remove the carburetors and valve cover....

Make sure your filter housing is completely seated (fully clipped in) before reinstalling! Spent way too much time trying to figure what was going on ?...

I'm changing my battery in my 05 R1. I get to the part when you have to get to the screw and the YouTube video says up use 5/16 but driver, but my screw is round so it won't fit. Headed now for some...
