    Transporting a 650 with Shower inverted shocks

    I am anticipating transporting my Shotgun 650 from the dealership. I ordered a pair of Tank Straps to strap down the front end of the bike. It would be best to strap it down without compressing the forks and putting stress on the front suspension. I haven't had an opportunity to get a close look...

    Stencil White Shotgun 650

    When are the Shotgun 650s coming to town? I want a Stencil White Shotgun 650. I don't want the Meteor or the Interceptor, I want the Shotgun. I haven't found any West coast dealers that have them. Has anyone on the East coast seen one? I love my Meteor 350 but I am just not enamored with the...

    Cold weather riding

    It's sunny today but still cold. I could suit up and I have heated gloves, but how do I keep my glasses from fogging up? I have to flip up the visor to keep my glasses clear at stop signs, and then ride for a while that way until they clear. Is there something I can use to keep my glasses from...

    USB Accessory port no voltage

    The USB accessory port doesn't work on my Meteor 350, no volts. I checked the fuses, all good. Is there a separate fuse for the USB port? Not much online about it except how convenient it is. Is it 5 volt and is it on all the time or just when the key is in the on position? Has anyone else had a...

    Handlebar weights and risers

    I had a notion to change the look and feel of my handlebars. I was looking for wider bars with a little more set back. Instead, I opted to put on larger handlebar weights and bar risers. Hitchcock's counter weight set is made for the Bullet and other older models with 8mm threaded inserts. The...

    I'm fairly obsessed with my bike

    Yes, my bike is currently my biggest obsession. I can't help it. After all the performance mods and styling I could do with it, it's truly my bike ;-) I like the way it looks, sounds, and drives. There isn't anything else I can think of (at the moment) to add. The stock tires are very good, but...

    Another Super Meteor 650 Review?

    Dozens of reviews of the Meteor 650 on YouTube this past month, and new ones popping up each day. It seems like everybody and their grandfather are posting reviews. What really galls me though, there are none to be found at dealers near me. I can't even go and look at one. Have they even made it...

    Thunderbird X 500

    This is the first time I've heard anything about this bike. I was checking out the news links from the Royal Enfield US web site.

    What present shall I buy for my bike?

    I'm looking at Hitchcock's accessory shop, and it's so hard to decide. What would my Meteor 350 like? A new set of adjustable levers, replace the back rest with a grab rail kit, an oil temperature gauge perhaps? I can't make up my mind, I'll just have to order them all ;-)

    Morning ride to the Veterans Memorial in the shadow of Mt. Shasta

    The air was cool this morning as I headed toward the south end of the Shasta Valley. The stark beauty of the rocky chaparral and juniper stands glowed warmly in the light of the rising sun. The Veterans Memorial, just off the Volcanic Scenic Highway, is a special place I like to visit whenever I...

    Show us the Bling

    I'm always looking at dress up parts and accessories for my bike on the web. I just installed covers for the break reservoir and master cylinder. They looked good in pictures on the Ebay store. I think chrome would have looked better than brushed stainless, but they cover up a couple...

    First service: tappet adjustment and oil change

    I had been anticipating the first service eagerly. The tappet adjustment, oil and filter change all went smoothly. I took my time, did a thorough clean and polish, adjust and lube the chain, and installed an aluminum sump guard. I performed the service interval reset procedure and started it up...

    Chain adjustment and replacement

    During the first 350 mile (gentle) brake-in, I have adjusted my chain twice. Is that normal? I have kept it clean and well lubricated, and properly adjusted. Does it seem that the chain is wearing abnormally? My GS Suzuki was shaft drive, so I'm not familiar with 'normal' chain ware. Does anyone...
