    CTX 700 Product Question

    C Bailey used to make windshields for the faired CTX. Unfortunately they stopped production, even though they had developed the best product by far. It would be nice to see someone fill this nitch.

    Rear Floorboard assistance

    I am looking for a simple single rear floorboard to assist my Bernese Mountain Dog climb into my sidecar. I figure if she can access the sidecar from the left side of the bike by climbing up on the seat and then jumping in - that should work. At 60# (and climbing) this puppy is getting to be a...

    dark side

    I've been on the dark side for close to 20,000 miles. I used an Achilles 175/55R17 as it is ~ the same diameter as the 160/60ZR17. With the sidecar I only got 3,050 miles out of the original tire. The first Achilles lasted 16,469. Additionally, I should note that I've gone double dark - mounted...

    Any windshield option updates or opinions?

    Why not fabricate a windshield out of lexan to the same shape as the original C.Bailey? Lexan is more impact resistant and easier to work.

    Battery ?

    OPT7 Issues

    I have an OPT7 LED light that I installed about a year and 1/2 ago. the low beam stopped working and the company is so far non-responsive. Does anyone have any experience with any other LED Headlight conversions? I like the simplicity and price of H4-HLV4-M at www.superbrightleds.com Fred

    Side Benefit of K & N RC-2400 Air Filter

    Can't imagine that the air sensor would see a different air temperature in the air box than it would in the bottom of the RC filter. It is designed to measure the temperature of the air going into the engine, that will be close to ambient.

    Side Benefit of K & N RC-2400 Air Filter

    One of the unexpected benefits of my installation on the K & N RC-2400 air filter was the minimization (if not complete elimination of) the less than stellar performance in 6th gear from 38 - 45 mph. As all of us are aware (myself especially since I have a hack (sidecar) the CTX700 DTC in D...

    What did you do to your CTX today?

    Perhaps when I fabricate the larger fuel tank. Trying to decide whether it should copy and replace the fuel tank cover only or include both Right and left side shelters. Fred
