I'm looking at Cortech tank bags, as I've heard nothing but good things.  I'm also looking at Ventura systems for luggage racks for the back of the bike.  Ventura didn't list a system specific to my bike on their site but an email to their rep got me the info I needed.

Problem is, I can't seem to find anyone in the US selling their stuff, only the UK and AUS.  Anyone know of any other options for my bike?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Newbie here who is trying to start with simple things. I have a '08 CBR600 and want to put CRG Hindsight mirrors on it. I started with just the mirrors, but they don't fit on the stock bar ends. So then I bought the Billet internal adaptor, but there's no room inside grip for the adapter to fit.

Am I just being stupid here? Is it a matter of moving the controls out a bit to make room? I'm hesitant to mess with the controls.

Any insight would be appreciated.

			<description><![CDATA[Hey guys.  On my 07 ZZR600, I've decided to remove the baffles in the exhaust, polish the can and have the tip powder coated Candy Fire Red to match the bike.  So far I have drilled out the rivets at the rear of the can to pull the tip off.  It feels like it's press-fit in and there appears to be a gray sealant in the groove.  I was just wondering if the tip should just pull out?  If so, what would be an effective way of doing this without gouging the tip or the can?  Will the core of the muffler just pull out once the tip is removed?  Thanks...Derek]]></description>

			<description>I probably should be asking but I am curious. Is it possible to convert a mechanical speedo and tach into digital? 

I imagine I would need some sort of pickup that converts the mechanical signal to an electric pulse. However. Does something like this exist in an aftermarket concoction that can be used on any bike?</description>
