We've ridden & driven over the Mission Bridge many times but this was the first time we went under it. Much to our surprise we found this park that was perfect for a photo shoot.
Kilby Lake

Kilby Lake is an amazing spot for a saddlebag lunch, it checks all the boxes, picnic table, view and even a little shade on a hot day!

Motorcycle rear camera mount

Here's the finished product after many hours of labour to get the rear camera mount on the carbon fiber Vrod completed. The shot is incredibly steady even during heavy acceleration and deceleration, and that was the goal!

Carbon fiber Vrod
by Editor on 07/16/19
This carbon fiber Vrod build has been both challenging and exciting, the most difficult part by far has been the camera mounts. The goal being to have them as "stealthy" as possible and still provide a steady shot... After many hours of fabricating, testing and tuning I'm very happy to say we've achieved our goal!

Old farm on the Langley backroads
by Editor on 07/03/19
I couldn't ride past this farm without stopping for a picture, it looked as if it should be in a movie or on the cover of a book or made into a 1,500 piece puzzle...
The backroads in Langley British Columbia Canada are full of beautiful places like this...

Vrod headlight cowl parts
by Editor on 06/15/19
I have received a number of messages/emails on what was needed to install this cowl for a 2006 Night Rod onto a 02-06 VRSC
You can use the stock Harley-Davidson mount p/n: 69271-06 but I felt that it made the fairing sit to low on my bike showing too much of the clamshell.
The carbon fiber nose faring/cowl is made by MDI Carbon Fiber
The DX-TL-7 headlight bracket that allowed me to use a 7 inch headlight instead of the 5 3/4 is made by Wayne Motorsports
The 7 inch LED headlight recommended by Wayne Motorsports is the Truck-Lite 27270C but I decided to try the Phase 7 knock off that saved me approximately $200 cdn. But, in order to make that light fit I had to remove some of the middle bracing with a dremal. I wasn't worried about structural integrity because Tim's bracket is very well made.
A stock headlight seal from Harley-Davidson was need between the headlight and cowl. part number: 68134-97
A H4 to H9 H11 headlight adapter was also need, the only one I could find was for a 2014 RoadGlide but I had to remove the H9 H11 sockets because they had different alignment docks inside the sockets than my 03.
VROD headlight mounting bracket
by Editor on 06/14/19
Before and After:
In order for the headlight cowl assembly to sit where I wanted it to on my 03 Vrod, I had to put the stock Harley-Davidson mount aside and make my own mount. I started with two pieces of 2x2x1/4 inch aluminum angle, then went at it with a hacksaw, drill/bits, files, sandpaper then hand polished. (and a couple of band-aids)
SCHUBERTH C4 modular helmet
by Editor on 06/10/19
I've been racking up the miles with this SCHUBERTH C4 modular helmet equipped with the SC1 communication system and absolutely love it!
We had the C3 Pro for two years and it was truly the best helmet we've ever worn, so when the C4 came out we were blown away with changes the engineers made making a great helmet even better!!!
