My previous diy tire changer did the job but I cursed it with every use. Not enough hands, forever putzing with clamps. I finally got around to building something better. Pretty simple construction and like many others except that it has upper and lower bread breakers always in place so that...

Ok, it's a lot more of a cup holder than a "system." But it should please fans of the WD40 color scheme. Mount is steel flat stock, holder is aluminum attached with AN rivets. Sipper bottle from Canadian Tire...

I made these bar-backs from stuff on hand in about a day, which included a couple hours of head scratching and a wood mockup. Approximate net change at each grip: 1/4” up, 1” back , 3/4” wider, 10 degrees rotation outwards. The improvement was more than the numbers would suggest, and a lot...

https://www.quietridemuffs.com/ Wow. What a difference. Finally have the helmet speakers on the proper side of the hearing protection. Pros Quieter than any ear plugs I've tried Don't have to do the helmet off-on any more because I forgot the earplugs Can listen to music at about 1/2...

I recently started using a cell phone for navigation and calls while riding. Others must have mastered this, hoping to read some good tips. So far I've set my (physical) home button to call up Google Assistant. With that I can command navigation with voice only. It's easy to start any app, but...

Custom cell mount with wireless charging. Solid and holds tight. Mast is steel, everything else aluminum. Locks in any position. Removes if rotated to a certain position. Made entirely from stuff on hand. Charge rate varies, but it seems to charge as well on the bike as it does plugged into AC...

Made these brackets for a dual horn upgrade. They attach to the frame at the same place as the upper radiator brackets. Left bracket is nearly flat, right bracket needed some bends to work around the battery tray. The new pieces are very simple, but the process of trial fitting and fairing...

Made these extensions so I could see a little more of the road and a little less of my arms. Each mirror is now about an inch wider, a couple inches back, and a little higher. Modest improvement at no cost except for my time. Not sure if it was worth doing but I'll probably leave them on. The...

My new mount. Top case can be moved quickly without tools. Also includes a grab handle to make it easier to walk the bike. All steel. Believe it or not, over 40 separate pieces not counting the fasteners. Here's a short video that shows the top case being re-positioned. Photos...

As mentioned in my new member intro, there's 7km of dirt road between my home and pavement. I decided to order a front fender extenison, but different suppliers seem to have different ideas about what fits which years. This outfit says one size fits all. Does anybody know definitively that an...
