I've ridden Goldwings for quite a while, and coast to coast across the country four times. I can ride a Goldwing for 12 hours without major physical impairment, but I do have a Utopia backrest, seat beads, handlebar risers, and Mick-O-Peg highway pegs for added comfort. I purchased a 2012 S10...

Well, she posted the video on the Internet, so...

TABASCO, this is probably in relation to an SSL certificate, which is required by most modern browsers so their connection to you is encrypted and more easily authenticated. Those certificates are cheap if you know where to look, and you can keep your website running for a few tens of dollars...

Great job restoring the pics. I see them in your first posts, but still broken for me in post #137.

If you can see them, perhaps cut and paste them into a post here, in order, to preserve the information for everyone?

The page(s) no longer exist at twisties.smugmug.com, so I'm not sure how anybody would be able to see the photos that were hosted there.

Definitely a Pepsi Can Stove, fits inside the cup when you're not using it.

Here is one way to wire it all up using two relays - one that powers the whole fuse box when it senses the bike ignition is "ON" (tapped from the fuses at the starter solenoid), and one that powers the auxiliary lights when it senses the high beams are "ON" (tapped from the pink wire in the...

I'm afraid that looks like it would make my problem even worse, as it's very tall and I'd have to lift my foot even further off the pegs to reach up to catch it.

Thanks for the feedback and validation everyone. I thought of lowering the brake lever as well, and took a look at the mechanism and realized it would take a bit more fiddling than just turning an adjustment nut. Can someone enlighten me as to what the Pivot Pegz do? Their website doesn't seem...

I will say the brake pedal's footpad is ridiculously small.

Here are photos of the Harbor Freight RoadShock spot lights, the Nilight mounts, the initial switch placement (to fill a hole left by the previous owner), and pics of the fuse box with cover on and off. I actually think the side cover may fit with that clear cover on now that I've got it seated...

At a slightly long-legged 6' tall, I find that my position on the bike doesn't allow me to reach the rear brake with lifting my heel off the foot peg. The shifter is similarly awkward. Maybe it's the thick and inflexible new ADV boots, I'm not sure, but I seem to be more bent up on the...

New beads will have you sliding into the tank every time you tap the brakes. Take them off, lay them flat on a slab of concrete, and then rub them against the concrete every which way for about 3-5 minutes until they have a dull appearance.

Will send pics as soon as I get home, probably after 6 PM tonight. I attached the fuse block with a 2" square of 3M VHB tape, so it is removable, after a fashion. I needed the two bolts that are exposed at the top to attach relays, one for the fuse block itself, and one for the aux lights I...
