Not too long ago I completed a custovation* of my bevelhead 1974 Ducati 750GT. In every way, this is a marvelous example of early Italian sport bike engineering — except for the battery charging system. It’s weak and does a poor job of charging the battery. The main fault is the...

Installing Fork Gaiters on a 1994 BMW K75 Fork gaiters are a curious motorcycle accessory. Somehow, the accordion-shaped tubes made a motorcycle look instantly old-fashioned to me.
