    Light socket

    Seems like it but the plastic has not been cut out. I used a socket similar to this one on ebay. Mine is rubber. If you cut the proper plus-shape hole you could insert the socket, give it a twist and it locks in. 10x T10 W5W 168 194 Car Socket Connector Extension LED Wedge Light Base For Cars |...

    Future FZ8 rider in Cincy, Ohio

    Have it checked thoroughly. A bike sitting aroung for 4+ years without being moved I would be weary about it. Fuel break down.

    Navigation Apps?

    Google maps works very well. You can actually save maps for offline usage. Not the full map but a small area. A good free offline map program is MapFactor. It works using ads.

    Steering Bearings

    That's what's going on with my bike at the moment. Ever since i dropped it and messed up the alignment of the wheel and handle bar. I brought it to a dealer for repair and ever since I cannot do hand-free cruise. Take hands off and the bike start to lean and turn to one side.

    How to - R6 throttle install. BanditLife

    Nice writeup. I think the hardest part to the whole thing is if you wanted matching grips and needed to take the old grip off the old tube. What a pain that was. Palm was sore after that fiasco.

    I think I found my next bike.

    I saw the 2014 naked shootout too. I'm thinking of the superduke r. Only problem is i look at the maintenance on the bike, it's p.i.t.a. Service must be done by dealer or lose warranty. That's blows. Then even when the warranty ends, the oil change is a pain. Insert style filter is a pain, so...

    How To: make cheap bluetooth enable helmet

    If you have a clipper already then it is worth a try. Otherwise the nicer solution is either a Sena or the ebay bluetooth kit since it has large buttons and dials you can actuate with glove hand
