    Do you buy used or new? Why?

    I've only ever purchased used. IMO it's not worth paying full price for something I can't ride year round. Depending on previous owner savings can be huge. I got burned on my last used bike purchase and had to spend hundreds to make it safe to ride. I got a good deal on my current bike and...

    LED headlight options

    Thank you all for the replies. I think i'm going to stay away from LED bulbs as I don't really want to blind oncoming traffic, and absolutely hate getting blinded myself. I've decided to give these bulbs a try. Price seems reasonable too...

    LED headlight options

    I may just try getting Osram Unlimited bulbs to replaced the OEM ones. My bikes runs normal lights. The current bulbs light up yellowish. Both headlights turn on with the bike, and when i use high beams, both lights get brighter. This means I'd need two HID ballasts with really nowhere to...

    LED headlight options

    I did consider HID, but not sure where I'd place the ballasts. I have dual headlights and no place to mount/hide the ballasts. My old ninja had HIDs and mounting the ballasts was a pain. Not to mention the slim ballasts crapped out often. I'm under the assumption that LEDs with fans will likely...

    LED headlight options

    I'd need two for my bike, so the Philips will end up costing quite a bit. I did research them quite a bit, and agree that they seem to be the only true replacement. Would you say the Philips provide more light than the standard halogen bulbs? I haven't been able to find any Canadian...

    LED headlight options

    Hey all, I've been toying the idea of swapping out my halogen bulbs for LEDs. I find my current halogen bulbs are just too dim at night, and note so noticeable during the day. I've never had LED lights until recently with my new car. It's amazing how noticeable it is during the day, and so...

    Toronto to Halifax & Cabot Trail

    No to hijack but I'm planning a road trip to Nova Scotia with my wife and pups by car ​in about 2 weeks. We're looking to stay at AirBnBs along the way and interested in routes and things to see, eat, and do. Any suggestions for good routes/plans? I'd appreciate a PM!

    DIY valve adjustment?

    I'm not a mechanic of any kind and did my own valve inspection on my ZX6R after being quoted $300 for inspection and $900+tax for adjustment if needed. It took me a long time to get the job done. I measured three times before writing down my readings on a EX/IN template I found online. I had...

    SC Project for Street Triple

    Awesome! Just got back from GP. They did just that. I must admit I do not feel any change at all. I also don't ride the bike anywhere near its potential... Thanks for all the info.

    SC Project for Street Triple

    Would happen to know how the mapping is actually done? Do they do it through the obd port? Just curious what they tap into to actually perform the remap. Where is the plug located?

    SC Project for Street Triple

    Thanks miggs, Do you know if anyone other than GP Bikes can load the Arrow map on my '15? Somewhere in Toronto would be ideal, since GP is about 1hr away for me. The SC sounds absolutely incredible. The popping/crackling on decel sounds really nice. It's a tiny bit louder than i'd like...

    Fork Alignment Triumph Street

    Alright. So I spent about 30 minutes working on it last night. I have no idea why it seemed to work this time. I did the exact same thing I did last time, with the only difference being a yard waste bag under the front tire. To my untrained eyes it looks perfectly straight now. Took it for a...

    Fork Alignment Triumph Street

    Hmmm... I thought you're not supposed to loosen the upper clamp bolts because of risk of forks sliding through. Also, is it necessary to loosen the head stem nut (32mm on my bike)?
