Because the bolts are protruding, you might be able to remove them without resorting to radical means. Start with liberal amounts of penetrating oil and let it work overnight. Then TIGHTLY grab the broken bolts with vise-grips. With luck you might be able to loosen them... A variation on this...

Turning it into a cruiser would require a heck of a lot more than a change of tires... You can easily turn into a motard-style bike by fitting it with sticky street tires, better brakes, and a lower from fender. You can sort of give it a cruiser(ish) look by fitting street tires, high-rise...

Of course you will fit, and you will have no trouble planting both feet on the ground. Nice bike, by the way.

My buddy loves his Heritage Classic, if that's what you like, then that's what you should get and if the dealer won't sell it to you change dealers !. Mind you, the Road King is a very popular model for a reason. A long anecdote to illustrate how my personnal experience has been the diametric...

Yes and yes.

The main difference between the two is about 60hp...... in the gsxr's favour. The SV is a a sweet, sweet, bike, but not very comparable to a supersport like the gixxer. Around town it will be the better of the two, thanks to its less radical riding position and torquey motor. A word of...

The Raptor 250 is light and nimble, but it's not a mini. You are definitely not too big, in fact you are closer to being too small for it... Maybe someday you will want more power, but you will not physically outgrow it.

It's pretty difficult to make a 125 sound like anything else. An aftermarket can will make it louder and maybe a little deeper, but you still only get 125cc's worth of pressure waves exiting the exhaust for every two cranckshaft revolutions.

If you live in a state that does not requires a front plate the car does not come with a front bracket, but you can get one cheap at your nearest dealer.

Your bike could be either a TX500 or an XS500, though both were essentially identical. This bike was never a popular model even when it was new. Early ones suffered from poor reliability. As I recall, they had problems with, amongst other things, weak/porous cylinder heads that were prone to...

A translated beginner's book ? what would be the point ? By the way, it's spelled "entièrement" not "entierment" and "Français", not "francais". Who knows, maybe correct spelling will make your search a little easier.

I too, used to own a Voyager 1200 (an '86 that I finally sold with 160000 on the odo). I replaced mine with a Harley Ultra Classic after trying other touring bikes and in particular a GW, but I accept that Harleys are not everyone's cup of tea. Your wife may be on to something. I suggest you try...

You heard right. You have to mix a certain amount of 2-STROKE oil in with your gas. On your bike the usual ratio is 32:1 or 4oz of oil per gallon of gas. Or if you prefer metric pour 30ml of oil per liter of gas for a 30:1 ratio. Make sure to use a quality 2 stroke oil or you will foul the...
