Re-uploaded. In this thrilling installment join me in the garage as I endeavour to address the Crosstourers biggest weakness, its crappy suspension. I also replace the head bearings, the regulator/rectifier and the air filter and sort out some dodgy wiring.
Please note that this is a re-upload of the original video with new music that is not copyrighted (the original music wasn't either but their seems to be a booming industry run by dishonest kids in basements claiming that copyright free music is theirs in an attempt to make money).

As an old retired guy I can't afford to do mods if I want to ride. So I ride and watch other people do mods so I have enough money to go riding !! 😊😊

Happy to be of service.

Brilliant! I envy people who can work on vehicles. I’m about to get my 2nd CT and need to learn how to work on it. Appreciate how slow and methodical you and patient you were while working on your bike. Can’t wait to see the follow up vid with you test riding your new bike! Subscribed! Ride safe….

Cheers. I’m no mechanic but RU-vid is a great resource and then it’s just a matter of giving it a go.

Great video. Thanks for showing the other side of the filter. The music? Not even necessary.

It was surprisingly clean wasn't it?

Hey congratulations my friend! I love to do it at home here in Brazil! Where do you live?

I live in Brisbane, which is the capital city of Queensland.

How do you organise the bolts and nuts so you remember what goes where- if you’re doing this over an extended period ?

@abitofadetour7315 26 дней назад

I probably should! I generally don't leave things pulled apart for long but if something looks like I'll get confused when I go to put it back together I'll take some photos of it as I take it apart.

Your water fill looks to be a hose and clamps, could you relocate with longer hose?

@abitofadetour7315 26 дней назад

You could temporarily I suppose but it fits in a small niche behind the fairing so I doubt you could modify it permanently. Not a bad idea though.

Mccruise in Victoria make a fully electronic cruise for your bike if you're interested.

@abitofadetour7315 8 месяцев назад

Cheers. I’ve looked at these before and they seem a quality item. Know you’ve got me thinking…

@@abitofadetour7315 Good quality and very good service.

I have one now and will install it soon. Love my 2017 VFR1200X

@cheffboiardee 7 месяцев назад

Oh yeah, I got the original heated grips from Honda and installed them about 5 months ago - I really like them.

I have an MCCruise unit fitted to my CT. It is pricey to buy, and I paid even more for my mechanic to do it, but it was worth every cent. I did a ride across Australia recently; the relief mentally and physically for my wrist was great. It also makes hamstring stretching or drinking from a waterbladder on the go so much easier.
