    Average Cartop Trailer weight

    I am looking at getting one of those cartop trailers and found one complete that looks to be in decent shape. It appears to have a rotating pin hitch on it which is good imo. The only thing it seems a little heavy. The person lists it at about 230lbs. Is that kinda the normal weight for...

    Dogbone fuse/ fusible link

    Cant blame a guy for trying. Hopefully Brian was trying to make a little markup on it. Otherwise he would be following my path to wealth, buy high sell low. It works every time.

    I just purchased a Farkle Mount. Installation?

    Pulled the speedo cable out of the bottom end. Lubed it up with Cable Lube (Right stuff per local Honda shop) Put it all back together. It would only howl on the early morning ride so got to wait until Tuesday commute. The tip at bottom was a little galded and the cable has two shiny spots...

    What did you do to your Wing today ?

    Wired a relay circuit into the accessory terminal. It provides battery direct power for my fog lights and my new to her gps unit. Then took her out for a short ride to find the waste management transfer station. Got in about 30 miles before it tried to rain... Good day.

    Checking 1200 oil level

    Kind of a process for me but that way I am consistent. I do have a slight leak I have been watching throughout this oil change. Usually 1x per week I put the wing on center stand after returning from my commute (57mi ea way) Let it sit for 5-30 minutes to drain down and stabilize. Unscrew...

    Took her out for a short ride. Got to commute to work tomorrow so wanted to check her out and fill the tank. Of course first I checked her tires, fluids etc. Then we ran around about 30 miles down by the waterfront. Tomorrow is my 120mile RT commute. Nice weather at least and mostly all two...
