I have conducted a 'straw poll' for over 25 years among riders and I ask them, "How much front and rear brake do you use, especially when you want...

Got it. In fact I have one just like it and didn't realize it...thanks.
Great photos but they don't show the bracket. And lo and behold as I was taking the photos I noticed the small bracket was bent at 90 degrees, and...
I went through a goodly number of hours to install (and hide) turn signals on my Vincent Black Shadow, was boasting about them to a BMW rider (who...

I'm real familiar with the British stuff as I've had a Vincent Black Shadow for over 30 years. I searched for a decade for the original Stadium...
