I have a 2011 Softail Heritage Classic. I'm interested in turning on the Engine Idle Temperature Management System (EITMS). If I understand correctly this feature automatically shuts off rear cylinder at stops and auto restarts. According to my owners manual this feature comes from the factory in the OFF position.
Function. Frame sliders have a very simple purpose: protect your bike in the event of a crash. Specifically, they will come in handy in the event of a lowside type crash, where you lose traction and your motorcycle slides out from under you and down the road.
Thank you for your insights. In layman's terms 7005 is stronger than 6061 (for bicycle frame building applications almost a parallel between chromoly and high tensile steel). The extra strength of 7005 allows for thinner wall thicknesses and therefore a lighter frame.Butted and double butted aluminium tubes are usually 7005 for this reason.or those in the know, is there any significant difference between 6061 and 7005 aluminum alloy tubing that might create a superior frame for say cyclocross?
