I posted this in Mods as well, but I thought it might get the attention of the Experts in here...
I would like to see some how to videos, on Modifications. I'm sure I'm not the only one who isn't a mechanic, and lives a good distance from a Duc dealer....
There are some maintenance videos floating around, and they are helpful to guys like me, but I would like to see some videos that cover simple mods like:
Removing the bikini fairing
Installing risers
Installing a damper
changing out the brake and clutch levers/cylinders
Adding a billet or open face cover and changing out the pressure plate on the clutch
and anything else that someone who knows what they are doing is going to be undertaking.
There aren't videos on that stuff because its fairly easy to do on your own by just using common sense. Get a workshop manual for your bike and it will explain a lot of those things in your list. The main thing that you want to keep in mind is to tighten bolts down to the correct pressure; not too tight or too loose. You can accomplish this with a torque wrench (got mine for $20). The proper torque values are in the workshop manual. Also if you take a screw out and wipe the grease/lube off of it then make sure to re-lube it. Good luck
Stay away from Haynes manuals. good pictures, but hopelessly impossible to understand.
