While repairing the bottom of the old windshield, to use as a base for the Madstad, I added reinforcements for the factory anchor. Here is a pic of th...
So I achieved what I set out to do. I now have a Madstad on the 95RT, that is about equal in performance to the one on my GoldWing. I was fortunate to...
@8166 Thanks for your input, and I recall you mentioning here that your C-V windshield had broken. If I recall, yours was the 26" tall version? The ba...
@wobbly metric sized tires also are sized in pure width, by the first set of numbers, i.e. 110 or 120. The following /xx number gives profile percenta...
Using a calculator, a 120/90 mm tire is 4.25" wide. Back in the day, for over 200,000 miles, I mostly ran 4.25" rear tires on twin shock Airheads, but...
That is tragic, and makes me concerned about my 95 R100RT. Wonder how simple it would be to install a CB, coming off the battery, maybe 30-50 AMP? Any...
For 20+ years, I've used an old Cortech series TourMaster, with magnetic mount. It has a zip on/off top section, the bottom section is expandable by z...
I'd really like to install these mirrors on my 95 R100RT. Do you have part numbers for the mirrors you used? Thanks Much
I have always adjusted Airhead valves on the loose side. With the current 95 R100RT I go with .006" (.015mm?) on intake, and .010" (.025" on exhaust. ...
I have read many complaints about heat related failure on aftermarket ignition 'upgrades' for our Airheads. I had an 82 R100RT for about 50,000 miles ...
Thanks for the link, it's a good read, but the rubber hose problem is not only in the MC world, but also in the automobile world. Inner swelling / flo...
Reading this thread, I like the idea of a deeper oil pan, and installed them on several prior Airheads. But the cheap side of me is gonna stay with my...
The plug does not look sooty enough to worry about, IMHO. How does the bike start, and run? How about gas mileage? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If...
I second Marc Parnes's balancer. You can find cheaper, but won't find better. Plus, with his, you can order by bike application, i.e. your 1150RT, alb...
I have refurbished speedos on a few (1976-95) Airheads over the decades, most recently my 95 R100RT; not difficult, but painstaking. For the 95 RT, I ...
