A cafe conversion? Are you out of your mind Tony? Gisela needs to stay stock! There were not a lot of R50's made. The R60 and R75 were by far the most popular in the /5 series in the early 70's, until the R90 came along. You need to get rid of the engine guard, get the mirrors stock, get all the pit...

dedmo my friend... Since this thread is also pertinent to the R1200R section, I am going to 'move' it, and leave a 'shadow' in the R1150R forum. That way it will appear in both sections, and you'll get more bang for your buck!!

Regards,

GypsyRR my love...make sure you hide that thang when you come visit the Virginia family...it's illegal in this state!!!

You guys who know how to do this stuff really ought to take the time to teach your wife or daughter(s). I would have been way ahead of things, if I had had a father who could/would have taught me the basic stuff of wiring. There's a whole lot of basic stuff about fixin' things that a lot of us fema...

Damn.. your good! I've been trying all morning, and the best time I can get between kill switch off and ignition switch off is 3.578 seconds!!! Wow.. you really are superman!!!

I come to a stop, bike still in gear, push the side stand down. That kills the engine. Then I turn off the key!

My bad!!! Doug, you are right, I don't own a R1200R. I have an R1150R which has the charcoal cannister on the right rear side of bike. Now I understand! I do have the Kissan headlight modulator, hence my confusion. If you get the right model, it should just plug inside of the headlight housing. The ...

Al...your sense of humor is too gay for me!!!! Still funny though...

1) the horn goes: "meep meep" 2) sewing machine.. or as Patrick once pointed out.. "a Bernina sewing machine" 3) Mickey Mouse 4) ABS or not ABS... of course!!!! 5) Patrick is a 5'6" former member...original miscreant...and what was his trademark? Some kind of purple underwea...

uhhhh...say what? what does the headlight modulator which plugs into the headlight socket have to do with a charcoal cannister?

OK. I'm feeling nostalgic here. Some of these questions go back to the 'early' days of the board, which also were the early days of our bike. So here goes... 1) What is the sound that our horns make? 2) What piece of machinery does the sound of our engine most closely resemble? (stock mufflers on of...

Ms. GypsyRR, I would suggest investing in a meter if your going to start doing your own basic wiring/electrical stuff on your bikes. You can get a good digital meter starting at $20 or so, go to Radio Shack. Get one that is 'auto ranging'. That means that to test resistance, you simple put it on 'oh...

I'm just curious, I live in Virginia where radar detectors are illegal. However, is there a way that an officer of the law using a radar speed detection device can actually tell that somebody has a radar detector? I've always played with the idea of getting a radar detector, getting one of those hel...

Why do you need her to sell a great looking R90S? It is a sweet bike. I agree.. but if you read the bio of this bike in the ebay post, which btw is all upper case, what's with that? Anyway..you'll discover that the owner's dad used the bike as a chick magnet to get women, even while he was still ma...

ok Tony...enough of this. Go take some digital photos and post them. Right now!

Mark

Pictures? Come one... you can't just 'tell' us about your great ride...you got to prove it!!! Seriously, I'm from New York, transplanted to the south 30 years ago..I *need* to see some upstate NY fall pictures!!!

Do you have ABS? Is this perhaps the ABS light?

Dropped the bike off at the shop tonight to get the new tires mounted. I hope to get a few miles put on this weekend prior to the trip next week. T minus 8 days and counting! Oh....you mean " LEFT the bike off at the shop..". We never use the "D" word around here!!! Welcome!! Ma...
