Dang, I never thought I'd get caught, it was tough living knowing my bike was different yet claiming it was stock just one forum area down from here.
Whoa is me and the tangled web I weave.

I really screwed up the other day. I sent for HighPerformance NASA approved Hologen light fluid for my RK. It was only $49.95 plus S&H.
I removed the trim screw from the headlight ring, inserted the 10 gauge hypodermic needle and pushed on the top of the aerosol can to install the fluid.
I waited until the noise stopped and then detached the needle and put the screw in.
I followed the instructions and set the dimmer switch to dim and started the bike. I was up to 30 mph and flipped the headlight switch to bright. OH MY GOSH. I was like I had stepped on the brake. The increased headlight pressure had stopped my bike. Luckily I had my foot on the brake or it would have pushed me backwards!
Needless to say I took the tinfoil liner out of my helmet and made a reflector to put over the headlamp to redirect the force.
When I got home I drained the fluid out by removing the trim screw.
Be careful what you buy and install. Especially if it is recommended by someone you don't know very well.

A great way to save batteries - go around your bike and tie knots in all the loose wires, it prevents the electricty from escaping and (as a by-product) stops polluting the roads with all those wasted electrons.

Just finished doing this and also crimped off all of the vacuum lines as I figured it would keep the bike from sucking me to it everytime I go into the garage.
I also plugged the exhaust outlets so I don't lose any compression while its just sitting there.

I never fell for all that crap. Everyone knows that if you get a good layer of wax on your bike you have less wind resistance. Less wind resistance equals more speed and better gas milage. Also I've got dual headlights. Everyone knows that if it has the word "dual" in front of it it's gotta be a high performance product.
My old shop teacher in highschool had a Rambler American. He told us it was a high performance car because it had dual headlights, go fast hubcaps and racing stripes. He always kept a good coat of wax for less wind resistance.
I figure with my new Race Tuner, 211 cams and a good coat of wax I should be able to break the 90 hp mark
