    Headlight AND brakelight stopped working

    Kinda weird. Noticed just the other day as I pulled up behind a car at a stoplight that I wasn't seeing the reflection of my headlight on their trunk (during the day). Got home and looked things over, and came to find out that the brakelight also doesn't work. Here's the specifics: - '95...

    Bike camera mount recommendations

    I'm looking for a mount that I can attach to the handlebar of my Vulcan 750 that will hold my Fuji FinePix S5200. Not even sure where to look for them. Can someone help please? Dave

    My pics from Laguna

    Nothing good from the MotoGP race because we were up on the hill overlooking Turn 2 and my camera doesn't have that much zoom (yet), though I did get a good pano of the area and a decent - if not distant - pic of Stoner chasing Rossi: After that, we moved over to the Corkscrew for the other...

    Does my clutch need to be rebuilt?

    So, about 2 years ago (give or take) my clutch was grinding REALLY bad when I'd go to let it out in first gear, and I had to have it rebuilt by Monterey Peninsula Sportcenter. Now, however long later, it's grinding again - or seems to be. When I put it in first and let the clutch out, it makes a...

    Recommendations for new grips

    [I hope this is the right place for this thread. If not, could a mod please move it to the correct location? Thanks] I've had my Kawasaki Vulcan 750 for about 8 years now, and I think I want some new grips for it. They aren't overly worn or anything, but the firm rubber just isn't all that...

    OK, so why has it become acceptable...

    ... for cagers to not even come close to stopping for red lights and stop signs, especially for right turns?! We all know about the infamous "California Stop", which used to mean slowing to about 2-3 MPH, and just before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, switching back to the gas and...

    Bike mechanic recommendations

    I'm having an electrical problem right now, and have tried to fix it myself to no avail. The headlight keeps blinking out and then comes back. However, lately it is off more than it's on, so the issue is getting worse. I thought it could be the reserve lighting unit, as unplugging it had the...

    Why are some motorcyclists...

    called "squids"? OK, I'll admit up front that I didn't do a search, mostly because I didn't know exactly how to word the search. But I know the word "squid" is used often, so I'd have to sift through a lot of posts to maybe find the answer. I've gotten an idea of the type of rider that gets...

    Headlight problem

    Hey guys - and gals - I have a 1995 Kawasaki Vulcan 750. Lately I have been having an issue with the headlight: it will randomly turn off, and then turn back on. The bulb is brand new, and I have tried replacing the fuse, but neither helped. The next thing I can think of is that it is an issue...

    Monterey County Ride, Thursday 9/25?

    Hey there, I'm new here, so I don't know anyone yet, but I'm planning to go on a ride on Thursday and was wondering if anyone would like to join me so that I can meet a few members and have some company for a little day ride. I'm in Salinas, and have a route in mind of heading south on River...

    Noob from the Monterey Bay Area

    Hi guys, just found out about this forum about a week ago from a friend. I've been riding for about 6 years now, and last month went on my first extended ride with some friends who do a group ride annually. Total of the trip was just over 1000 miles, though my portion was about 800 over 3 days...
