|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Enjoy Your San Francisco vacation from a 1940s vintage building located in Buena Vista Heights. This vacation home includes two beautiful full floor two bedroom apartments, each with spectacular panoramic views! Both flats have hardwood floors, a fireplace, a deck, a separate dining room, and a complete kitchen. For your enjoyment we also provide high speed wireless internet access, a DVD player, and satellite television with DVR, making this truly a home away from home.
The top floor, CBV#3, features breathtaking San Francisco views from every room. Elegantly furnished, its warm airy environment is uplifting and inspirational. CBV #1 is equally attractive with spacious bedrooms and an arched living and dining room. This unit also has lovely, expansive views.
This vacation rental is in a quiet, residential neighbourhood right in the middle of San Francisco, home to convenient shopping and two quiet parks. There is ample parking on the block and easy access to public transportation allowing you to travel to other parts of the city. Those who wish to explore by foot, the small winding streets in the neighbourhood provide wonderful surprises.
I love San Francisco and sharing my wonderful home with guests visiting our amazing city. Although I grew up in the Midwest, I have spent my adult life living in northern California. I was a teacher in San Francisco for many years. I enjoy travelling the world and therefore love to meet travelers from around all over the planet.
Hi Sandy, Great apartment, great city! We had a lovely time here...amazing views and perfect location, close to everything but quiet and peaceful for recuperating after walking up and down those hills!
You are the perfect host...invisible yet available. We will recommend this apartment to anyone coming to San Francisco.
My son and I went to San Francisco a few weeks ago for a long anticipated vacation. I have always stayed in hotels on vacation, but my friends told me it was time to try something different. This apartment was perfect! The location was convenient to everything and there was always off street parking available. We were even walking distance from many of the sites. The decor is charming, the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the panoramic views from the bedrooms were spectacular. It really is nice to have a kitchen, a living room with a TV, a dining room and washer/dryer. We didn't have to eat out every meal, and my son could stay home and order a pizza and watch the basketball playoffs. The saddest moment was having to leave. I told the owner "don't make me go back to Houston". My dream is to go back to San Francisco and see all the sites we missed...and I would definitely want to stay here again.
What a wonderful place—it certainly was a real "Home Away" and exceeded our expectations. The view was magnificent! The furnishings were attractive, comfortable and functional. In short, this was a terrific apartment and location, with everything we needed for our 2+ week stay, and I cannot suggest any improvement.
We came to visit family (including young grandchildren) who live two blocks away. The neighborhood was quiet, safe and very central; we went all over the city by public transportation and auto—taking grandchildren to friends' homes, school, and activities . Parking was surprisingly easy and available. Public transportation was an easy downhill walk to Market Street and the Castro, and even the walk back uphill was not too strenuous (we are both in late 70's). A park/playground was about five minutes' walk away.
The deck beckoned for morning coffee and afternoon reflection, and we ate uncrowded dinners in a spacious dining room that could easily seat eight. The kitchen was complete with utensils, a large two-door refrigerator-freezer, coffee-masker, toaster, and microwave oven. We appreciated the sundries and kitchen supplies provided (including a great assortment of herbs and spices) that allowed us to cook interesting meals, not just order in.
Wifi worked consistently well. All spaces were very brightly lit, with dimmers to control the intensity of lighting. The in-apartment thermostat allowed us to control temperature, especially during some cold mornings. Linens and towels, hair dryer and iron were more than adequate. The washer and dryer were always available (no coins needed). The apartment was quiet. We never heard the renters downstairs, and they said they did not hear us walking around upstairs or the louder voices of grandchildren who visited for meals, play, and sleep overs.
Of course, the breathtaking fantastic view is a real plus—day or night, and especially during the holidays.
The only caveat is stairs. There are two flights (not steep) to the upper apartment but not good for someone who has difficulty walking.
Sandy Farrow was extremely personable and helpful throughout.
We anticipate returning frequently.
First of all this is not a "one star" review. I did that so that it would grab your attention so you would read this. This place is as advertised by the listing and the other reviews except I disagree that it truly "sleeps six." The listing is actually for two different properties if you haven't figured that out. We stayed in #3 which is the one on the top floor. The deck is off of the bedroom and the views are as amazing as you might imagine. Another review referred to the dated furniture and furnishings and that is true. This is not a newly remodeled, five star hotel resort. The furniture was comfy and the kitchen and bath were adequate. The TV in the living room is never and plenty big. We stayed here with our 12 and 7 year old and their godparents. We parked the car the first day and never moved it. We got a MUNI pass and used public transportation exclusively. It is approximately half a block to the nearest bus stop. From there you can get down to Market Street and go anywhere in the city with no problem. The neighborhood was extremely peaceful.
What I wanted to draw your attention to was the sleeping accommodations. For our stay and our kids it was great. They slept on what the owner calls a futon. It was a foldable mat that is stored in a closet and we brought it out for the kids to sleep on. For them it was fine but I was surprised not to find a futon. Before writing this review I emailed the owner to suggest that she amend her description because in my opinion the mat would be insufficient for an adult. The description says it sleeps six and if we had shown up with six adults, two of them would have been very disappointed that they had to sleep on the mat. The owner responded to me that she had "lived in Japan and that is what they call a futon in Japan, it was bought in Japantown." I replied that most of the population hasn't lived in Japan and would have a different expectation for what a futon was. She was a bit confrontational in her tone. If you read a couple of other reviews that she replied to you may see that. We also had to buy more toilet paper so plan ahead.
If you are traveling with kids or only four people then this place was great. If you have six people then beware of the sleeping mat for guests #5 and 6. I expect her to respond to this and flame me for writing what I wrote or try to explain but this review is for other travelers and not for the owner. Knowing what you are paying for ahead of time is critical when traveling.
We had a wonderful stay at this apt. We were in town for the birth of our first grandchild and wanted a space near them. This apt. is in a quiet neighborhood with well kept homes. The apt. is older but very spacious. We had a great stay here and enjoyed sitting on the deck with beautiful views of the distant ocean and city. The apt. was very clean and well maintained. Parking was fairly easy in the area. The owner responded to us very promptly if we had questions. We spent most of our time in Cole Valley where there are many good restaurants and bakeries.
I would recommend this space.
Just spent 6 nights at this lovely apartment. Amazing view in a roomy, quiet space. Plenty of room in kitchen and dining area, living room and master bedroom. Only one bathroom could be a minor quibble but it was not a problem for our party of 4 adults. Great neighborhood setting with lots of interesting, affordable restaurants within walking distance in Cole Valley, Haight, and Castro areas. It is a hike back up hill but, if you're not up to that, a cab will set you back only about $6 (and there are lots of public transportation.) Having spent many nights in hotels in financial district, union square, and fishermens wharf area, this experience was a welcome change that we hope to repeat.
We loved watching how the "stunning view" changed throughout the day - from clouds creeping all about the city to the evening lights sparkling across to the Berkeley and Oakland hills. The spacious home has very comfortable beds. It is in a nice, friendly, and quiet neighbourhood. There are wonderful restaurants and excellent grocery stores within walking distance. We got quite a workout walking to the neighbourhood park and back from the Castro and Mission districts. It is silly to try and find parking in the Mission. It's a short drive to Golden Gate Park, the beach, and the Legion of Honor.
Although there are a few toys and room for children to play (we had a 2 year old and a crawling baby visit during our stay) you need to keep watch due to the staircase.
At Casa Buena Vista you are right in the heart of world famous San Francisco. Walk out the door and in a few minutes you can be at countless restaurants or quaint shopping streets. The subway will whisk you downtown in 10 minutes, and the nearby streetcar will provide a leisurely ride to the famous Embarcadero, Pier 39, and Fisherman's Wharf.
If you want to travel outside the City by car, the direct highway arteries are close and convenient. Sausalito, Napa Valley, Santa Cruz, and Monterey are all viable day trips.

- Yakov Mikhaylovich Sverdlov - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(1885-1919). After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Tsar Nicholas II and his family were taken to the city of Yekaterinburg, Russia, more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) east of Moscow, for imprisonment. It was there they were all killed in July 1918. A few years later, in 1924, the name Yekaterinburg was changed to Sverdlovsk in honor of Yakov Mikhaylovich Sverdlov, a leader of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the person responsible for the order to kill the tsar and his family. After the Soviet era ended in 1991, the city reverted to its original name.

This is a vintage mother and baby duck (pelican-puffin) pin or brooch with what I believe to be green calcite or serpentine gemstone bellies. This is a very old pin, approximately 1930s, with an old marking of MEXICO/ SILVER prior to the 1940s Mexican silver marking system.
The pin is stunning and in near mint condition with exquisite hand wrought workmanship and fine detailing on the wings, webbed feet and tails. The pin has been tested and is sterling silver. The mother measures 2 1/4 inches wide and the baby is 1 3/16 inch across. They are connected by a sterling silver chain and they both have pins on the back. A great find!

Tex Hager
Name: Tex Hager
Birth Name: Nealon Walter Hager
Born: 1915-01-26
Birthplace: Eugene, Oregon, USA
Died: 1989-05-25 (Age:74)
Hometown: Washington, USA
Promoting Record: click
Neal Walter (Tex) Hager was a boxing and wrestling promoter based out of Idaho, who promoted throughout the Western United States and Canada. Hager was originaly from Eugene, Oregon, where he began wrestling during the mid-1930s. His wrestling career would stretch until the early 1950s, with him winning the Idaho Heavyweight Title, as well as Intermountain titles in the Junior Heavyweight and Welterweight classes, during his career.
During the early 1950s, he became the wrestling and boxing promoter in Boise, Idaho, and would found his promotional company; Tri-State Sports. Hager would also promote boxing in Kennewick, Spokane, Walla Walla, Twin Falls, Billings and Helena. Hager's primary draw during the 1950s, as a boxing promoter was Harry (Kid) Matthews, who drew very well for him in Boise. Hager would also promote him in bouts in Kennewick and Spokane as well.
Hager was best known as a wrestling promoter, in the old territorial wrestling alliance, the NWA (National Wrestling Association). Hager's area comprised much of the same territory which he promoted boxing in. Hager was still promoting wrestling during the early 1970s. He may have gone out of business like most regional wrestling promoters, with the emergence of national wrestling associatons like the WWF, and the breakup of the old territorial system.

More Evidence Links Fractures to Diabetes Drugs
Diabetes Drugs and Fracture Risk: A Closer Look continued...
The higher the dose, the higher the fracture risk, they found.
Among the men, only those taking a TZD along with a potent diuretic, called a loop diuretic, were more likely to have a fracture. Taking TZD alone did not appear to increase risk in men.
Loop diuretics have been linked with bone density decreases, Herman says.
Why the TZD drugs boost fracture risk may be due to effects such as the reduction of new bone formation or increased bone breakdown, he says.
The fractures found, he says, ''are not typical osteoporosis fractures," which include those of the spine and hip. They found some spine and hip fractures, but also many lower limb, arm, and leg fractures.
The study was funded by the CDC and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Herman has served as a consultant for GlaxoSmithKline, which makes Avandia.
Diabetes Drugs and Fractures: Diabetes Expert View
The study does add to existing information about diabetes drugs and fracture risks, says David Kendall, MD, chief scientific and medical officer of the American Diabetes Association, who reviewed the study for WebMD.
''This is certainly not the first of these larger studies where I would say this unanticipated event was noted," says Kendall, also an associate professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
"Depending on the study, it appears that people who take TZDs for longer periods of time have about a one-and-a-half to twofold increase in their risk of fractures," he says.
Even so, he says, "These are very effective medicines for some patients. We have to understand there are potential risks. Certainly anyone already considered to be at fracture risk -- a woman with osteoporosis -- or someone who suffers from instability or frequent falls, you should think carefully about the use of the medications. On the other hand, fractures in total [in Herman's study] were generally rare. Far more people didn't have fractures than did have."
In sum, he says, the study finding "is a new piece of information that needs to be taken into consideration when evaluating the potential benefits and risks of your diabetes treatment regimen."

wonderful views, much better than expected. I didn't care much for the tour guide, especially when she
was trying to help a salesperson sell me an overpriced piece of stone at the marble factory. It was clear
that she didn't know anything about the type of stone it was, but she urged me to shell out $3,000 for
it. The woman talks too much about how wonderful she thinks she is……. However, overall she was helpful, responsive, knowledgable and enthusiastic……… the tour omitted any mention of how and why the road into the gorge was built; by the Japanese in 1914 to battle and subjugate the local aboriginal people.

The tour itself was great, and the individual providers were wonderful. However, the coordination
and communication left something to be desired. Viator subcontracted the tour, but I didn't know
who the subcontractor was until I arrived. Partly as a result, I expected to be picked up at 6:30 the
first morning, and my ride didn't arrive until 8:00. Between that time, I had no idea who to call. It seemed
at every handoff, there was some question as to who who arrive next and at what time. Further, there
was no predatory information for the hike, such as a recommended gear list, or information about
the availability of water on the trail. This led me to carry more gear and water than I needed. While part of this is my fault, when I pay to have someone do the preparation and thinking for me, I expect a bit more.
Still the services, accommodations and staff I interacted with was great, and the hike was wonderful.

You can be thin, vegetarian, a marathon runner, and still get exercise-induced hypertension and calc
Filed Under: Health & Science, Lifestyle | Posted: 10/26/2009 at 8:13PM
Comments | Region: United States
You can be thin, vegetarian, and a marathon runner and still have your arteries calcified, according to a March 14, 2007 press release from the University of Maryland Medical Center, "University of Maryland Researchers Find Heart Disease in a Marathon Runner: Is Too Much Excercise a Bad Thing?"
The press release doesn't say whether the person had been taking vitamin K-2 (MK-7) from natto, or whether the person had been taking too much vitamin D, which calcified his coronary arteries, or whether he had the particular genetic variation where taking a certain amount of vitamin D calcifies the aorta, or whether he inherited the risk to hardening of the arteries from his older families members. The study didn't mention whether or not the person drank a lot of homogenized milk or whether something he ate scarred the inside of his arteries which then became calcified.
The study didn't say whether he drank pomegranate juice to help reverse his condition or whether he took drugs or fish oil or even COQ-10. See the articles, "Pomegranate juice consumption reduces oxidative stress," and "Pomegranate Reverses Arteriosclerosis and Slows the Progression of Prostate Cancer." Also see the article, "Preventing Vascular Disease – Life Extension." None of these possibilities were mentioned. But what the press release did say was that the doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center had a mystery on their hands.
Does this case remind you of the case of Jim Fixx? Consider Jim Fixx, best-selling author of The Complete Book of Running. After Fixx died in his early fifties while. jogging, an autopsy revealed he had clogged arteries and an enlarged heart. See the September 30, 2009 New York Times article, "Phys Ed: How Do Marathons Affect Your Heart? – Well Blog – NYTimes.com."
When the researchers studied the runners' scan results, they found that more than a third of the men showed evidence of significant calcification or plaque build-up in their heart arteries, according to the NY Times article. Several also had scarring of some of the tissue in their hearts.
Most researchers in various studies agree that regular marathon running seems not to protect runners from coronary artery disease. The big question is does exercise to the degree that marathon runners accomplish have deleterious effects on coronary arteries? Compare marathon running to walking 30 minutes a day and enjoying the sights.
According to the University of Maryland press release, A 51-year-old physician colleague who looked the picture of health—no cardiovascular risks, a marathon runner who had exercised vigorously each day for 30 years—had just flunked a calcium screening scan of his heart.
The patient had expected a score indicating a healthy cardiovascular system. Instead, the images indicated a high score: a build-up of calcium in his coronary arteries put him at high risk for blocked blood vessels and a possible heart attack.
The mystery was all the more intriguing because his resting blood pressure and fasting cholesterol levels, the usual measures of cardiovascular health, were in the normal range. The March 1, 2007, issue of the American Journal of Cardiology, reported the case history.
Read the study for yourself, "Exercise-Induced Hypertension, Endothelial Dysfunction, and Coronary Artery Disease in a Marathon Runner, 12 January 2007." The researchers were: Radha Goel, Farhan Majeed, Robert Vogel, Mary C. Corretti, Matthew Weir, Charles Mangano, Charles White, Gary D. Plotnick, Michael Miller, pages 743-744. Abstract | Full Text | Full-Text PDF (396 KB).
Researchers say this is the first case, to their knowledge, of advanced coronary calcification in an otherwise healthy middle-aged male marathon runner who lacked traditional cardiac risk factors and had no symptoms of heart disease, according to the University of Maryland media release.
According to the study's abstract, "Aerobic activity performed on a regular basis is 1 of several lifestyle recommendations endorsed to reduce risk of coronary disease. However, one potential concern of arduous aerobic activity is exercise-induced hypertension."
"This is the first case to our knowledge, of accelerated coronary calcification in an otherwise asymptomatic middle-aged male marathon runner devoid of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. As a consequence of exercise-induced hypertension and associated oxidative stress, improvement of endothelial dysfunction occurred after antioxidant supplementation. In conclusion, vigorous aerobic activity in susceptible individuals may promote oxidative stress and coronary atherosclerosis."
So would taking antioxidants help? According to the study's abstract, "The researchers conclude that the physician's intense, long-term exercise regime, coupled with a predisposition toward a type of hypertension, contributed to his cardiovascular disease. "In this particular individual, we think that oxidative stress was an important contributor," says the study's senior author, Michael Miller, M.D., director of preventive cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center and associate professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "But we also found that this individual has exercise-induced hypertension, which I think is vastly under-diagnosed."
Oxidative stress is a byproduct of the normal cellular metabolism of oxygen. It refers to cell, tissue or organ damage from a class of molecules associated with oxygen metabolism, including unstable molecules called "free radicals." Oxidative stress plays a role in many heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders, including atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, hypertension, heart failure, asthma and sleep apnea.
To help gage the impact of oxidative stress on the patient's cardiovascular system, his doctors evaluated the response to exercise of the endothelium, the lining of his arteries. An ultrasound device was used to measure what is known as flow-mediated vasodilation. It shows how well the endothelium responds to a sudden increase in the flow of blood through an artery in the upper arm. The endothelium in a healthy vessel typically dilates or expands during this test to accommodate the increased blood flow, while an impaired vessel constricts or narrows.
The patient's blood vessel dilation was normal before exercising. But after exercise, vessel constriction occurred immediately and showed no improvement after an hour. To put this response into perspective, the researchers administered the same exercise/blood vessel response test to a group of ten men whose mean age was 41. The vessels of these men initially constricted, but improved significantly one hour after exercise.
Several weeks later, the patient was given vitamins C and E just before exercise and was tested again for endothelial response. These vitamins are known as antioxidants and may protect cells from free radical damage. This time, the test revealed a partial reversal of the blood vessel constriction after one hour, and normalization after two hours.
If vitamin C and E showed a partial reversal, would drinking vegetable and fruit juices help also? How about pomegranate juice? The idea seems to be moving toward antioxidants beginning to reverse calcification. What else did the study reveal?
"As he took the vitamin C and vitamin E, you could see improvements in his brachial arteries," says Dr. Miller. "We recommended that the patient take these vitamins before he runs."
With half the mystery solved, the research team explored another possible cause of the calcium buildup—elevated blood pressure. Hypertension can cause artery walls to thicken and the endothelium to narrow. This narrowing can promote the formation of fatty plaque deposits in artery walls. The plaque, from cholesterol and fats, can eventually harden or calcify.
Although hypertension did not seem to be a risk factor for this patient, exercise is a major factor in his life. So, the researchers turned to a treadmill stress test to measure his blood pressure during exercise. At the start of the treadmill test, his baseline blood pressure was normal, 118/78 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). He was in such great shape that it took 20 minutes to reach high blood pressure levels, and this happened only after the treadmill speed and incline had been raised. But by the end of the test, his blood pressure had soared to 230/78 mmHg. A check of several of his previous treadmill tests indicated a similar rise in blood pressure.
On the basis of running duration and intensity, the researchers estimated that the patient spent about 30 minutes a day at a systolic blood pressure above 200 mmHg. This number is well into the blood pressure danger zone and meets one definition of exercise-induced hypertension—a jump of at least 60 mmHg from baseline after exercise.
This finding should be investigated further, says co-investigator Matthew R. Weir, M.D., head of nephrology at the University of Maryland Medical Center and professor of medicine and head of the division of nephrology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "Because we know that blood pressure rises during a stress test, we tend not to pay attention to it. We're more interested in changes in electrical activity and the redistribution of blood during exercise, which could indicate inadequate blood supply to the heart muscle," says Dr. Weir. "The question is, should we pay more attention to treadmill-induced changes in blood pressure as a means to identify people at risk for developing coronary artery disease?"
Dr. Miller adds another question, "Should we screen all middle-aged individuals who want to participate in an exercise program to make sure they don't have exercise-induced high blood pressure?" Unlike cholesterol or triglyceride levels, blood pressure levels fluctuate dramatically throughout the day, depending on a variety of factors such as exercise, emotions and even the time of day.
In light of that phenomenon, Dr. Weir says the study raises another issue. "This research indicates that we need a more dynamic measure of blood pressure to truly profile the risk of an individual. We've been using casual, at-rest office readings of blood pressure for more than 50 years. It's not bad, but it's not the answer." The treadmill is one way to gather a more dynamic measurement, but he says there's an easier option. "It can even be done at home if you have a blood pressure cuff and someone who can take your blood pressure at peak exercise."
The patient in the study continues to run, but is now taking medications to lower both his cholesterol and blood pressure. Despite his exercise regime, he appears to be in the same boat as millions of Americans who do not exercise regularly. So, is too much exercise a bad thing? The physicians answer to the contrary. "We are not publishing this report to suggest in any way that people should not be exercising. Exercise has stood the test of time as being one of the best ways to modify cardiovascular risk," says Dr. Miller. "But what we're looking at are improved detection methods for predicting those at risk. Exercise-induced high blood pressure may be a part of that."
Other authors of the study included Radha Goel, M.D., Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina; Farhan Majeed, M.D., Robert Vogel, M.D., Charles Mangano, R.D.M.S., Charles White, M.D., Gary D. Plotnick, M.D., University of Maryland School of Medicine and Mary C. Corretti, M.D., Johns Hopkins Hospital.
The moral of this study is find out whether you're inclined to exercise-induced hypertension that might be causing your arteries to fill up with calcium and other issues of rapid aging too soon. Before you start a running program, see what happens to your blood pressure as you exercise for an extended period of time or anytime, even including taking that walk each day for an hour.

DR650SE Index Topic # 9 ELECTRICAL/LIGHTING
OK, get out your voltmeters and your wire strippers... I'd like to hear about your successes having to do with things electrical. I recall ProCycle was researching ways to boost the DR's voltage output. I know several of you have converted to HID headlights, and LED signals.
Shock us (sorry) with your use of relays, starter rebuilds, and how you wired in connections for your heated gear and GPS...
when i got this 97 dr650, it looked stock & neat but underneath it was a mess of added wiring done by a total amateur.
after pulling out all that crap, it still had excess components & potential failure points.
i eliminated the clutch switch, side stand switch & relay & eventually the tag lamp. rode like this for months.
got some work to do now, i'll post the next 2-3 phases later.
VisionX for better light
I wanted more light and so I asked on ADV if someone in Sydney ( Australia ) could make me a bracket and Inmate Maggot1300 offered to make me one.
I make a very poor template;
... and received, in the mail, a great bracket;
... that mounted perfectly ( VisionXs not aligned at this stage );
Because the VisionX consume only 780ma @ 12v each I decided to wire the units straight to the high beam line with a switch in circuit ( because here, IMHO, the law says that you have to be able to run the standard headlight without the extra lamps if you are using high beam - not sure about anywhere else so YMMV ). As the total current was 1560ma @ 12v I didn't see the need for a relay and I don't see any dimming of the existing headlight so for now it will do but soon I will run 12v from the battery up to the headlight and relay that.
The difference is outstanding with the gutter side lamp a Euro so that it fills to the left and the center line side the Spot which really adds distance to the light throw.
Quick Plug & Play upgrade
I posted this elsewhere - this is in the category of "While You are Procrastinating Your HID Decision".
The best plug & play replacement I have found is a Wagner1210/H4 or "BP1210/H4" "Auxiliary Off-road" Halogen bulb. Got it at one of the big auto parts stores. Not expensive, but a beautiful bulb. It borders on "annoying retina-burner" if your riding pal behind you at night hits your mirrors with it. :eek1
The color is quite WHITE. I replaced both my DR's with them several years ago and they just keep on lighting up the world.
Poking around a few sites, they are running about $12.
Note that this bulb apparently got packaged at least three different ways but the number designation '1210/H4' seems common. Also I note that some websites refer to this as a "miniature". I have no idea where that moniker came from - its a full size H4 virtually indistinguishable from the stocker...until you turn on.
I have not put a meter on the bike to see what the current draw is but I imagine this is not a good solution for colder clime where you need grip heaters and other ancillary electricals.
phase 2 of my electrical romance.
for me, one of the allures of riding a street-dirt bike is simplicity.
i dont like having a locked gas cap nor keeping up with a key.
lose it or snap it on the trail = no fun.
so i eliminated the key functions. the stock ignition switch is a hefty little booger, lost maybe 2 lbs. its well-documented on the web, add a couple jumpers, 100 ohm resistor & rocker switch. for security, just conceal it & leave the stock keyed ignition switch for appearance. i intend to add a 2nd switch for a little insurance the next time i find myself in another mess of wires.
i use a wiring harness which makes a HUGE difference getting all the power from the battery to the bulb. this should be one of your first lighting upgrades.
a higher watt bulb puts out more light
but ofter fail faster because of heat & vibration.
i like this rouhg service bulb w/ a harness on the dr
daniel stern recomended it!
jeff @ procycle has some nice inexpensive brackets for optional driving lights http://www.procycle.us/bikepages/dr650.html#electrical
deka (eastern penn, a us company) makes aweseome sealed agm batterys.
this place sells it for less
bike doesn't drag when startign w/ this battery and agm technology is robust.
tpi does sell upgraded battery cables for a cure to slugish cranking, but they are pricey and this battery takes care of it anyway.
F A Q- Heated Gear
"I installed a headlight on/off switch so I can switch off the light when cruising fire roads or just starting, etc. I wired it so I can always switch the high beam on with my thumb if needed." -barko1
"A heat troller will reduce the draw. I try to shut everything off a few minutes or so before I get ready to shut the bike off. Install a voltmeter, or if your using a gps, some show voltage. My garmin 276 does. Heat is nice..." -Bgunn
"Depends how much the Gerbing gear you bought draws. I've heard the latest stuff draws fewer Watts than earlier gear. A good thing! A Heat Troller of some sort is essential.*
Far more efficient.
My older Gerbing jacket liner draws 77 Watts at 100%. I'm guessing your gloves draw maybe 25 to 40 watts? I put a headlight switch on my DR. Headlight off saves 55 watts.*
With headlight off, I can run all day with jacket at 100%, heated grips on HIGH (24 watts). Heat Troller really helps here. Even at 100% its more efficient than plugging directly in.*
Pro Cycle is correct ... you have roughly 60 watts before you go into discharge. Switching off headlight buys you a few more Watts. Short trips won't discharge batt. much and with Suzuki EXCELLENT charging system it will re-charge very quickly. (20 minutes of riding) Long trips drawing too much batt. will go dead in 3 to 4 hours. Will re-charge in about half hour riding if in good nick and accessories off.
HID headlight is up next for me. Brighter light, 20 Watts less draw. Win Win." -Adv Grifter
"My wife got me a new Gerbing jacket, gloves and dual heat controller for my birthday (March 2010). They're the new "micro wire" design.
I did a 3,300 mile trip on my '08 DR650SE in September this year from Anchorage Alaska (where I live) to Prudhoe Bay, then to Tok, Haines, Prince Rupert BC and Calgary Canada.
It rained and was cold most days, high 30's to upper 40's F. I ran my Gerbing jacket and gloves 90% of the time. Also had Dual Star heated grips on the DR. I found that running everything with the grips on was too much draw. You could tell that the heat output was down on everything.
The best heat / draw combo was to run the jacket at around 60% and the gloves at 100% with the grips off. Ran like this day after day with no problems. A few times I didn't need the big gloves so I ran regular riding gloves with the jacket on and the heated grips on low. This also worked fine.
I would suggest getting the dual heat controller so you can control your jacket and gloves separately.
http://gerbing.com/Products/tempControls.html..." -AKiffroader
If you ride where a headlight is not required to be on in the daytime you can wire a switch to shut it off. That doesn't help at night. You could convert your headlight to HID which will free up another 20 watts or so. Swapping out the taillight bulb for an LED unit will give back another 5 watts." -procycle
I chose a Koso volt meter easy to install, lightweight, reads easy. I fabricated a bracket with sheet aluminum and pop rivets, wired it to 2 switches one is momentary the other on/off
the latest upgrade on the 97:
cant see at night, took someones advice to soak the headlamp shell in dishsoap & water overnight. the lens & reflector had oxidation? build-up & reduces candlepower. then direct-wired the headlight with relays & 16g wire. decent difference for minimal bucks. i made my own, but i'd guess similar to the plug & play mentioned. this is the current electrical state of my tractor.
Lets see
My electrical doo dads include a SAE "Battery Tender" cord and a cord for my jacket liner connected directly to the battery. Symtec motorcycle grips from California Sport Touring, presently priced at $36.98 wired to the handy power under the head light plastic.
If I remember correctly the brown wire is positive and the black wire with the white stripe is negative. My hand held GPS uses the same power. The grips heat up nice and hot on high so, the low setting is used most of the time. I have not needed high yet but, I am in the South. So, my heated grips and GPS are on switched power and when I stop the heated jacket liner gets unpluged when I get off the bike and pull the plug... some times in an automatic method. :D
I added a head light kill switch and use it when I run my jacket liner on high which pulls 76 watts on high so, I didn't want to try it with the head light burning. I use the jacket on a max of medium at night. Its so hot on high I don't even need it unless its 10 degrees or so. I run it on low down to the high 30's, but I do wear a thermal shirt under the jacket when I'm out all day or a regular long sleeve T-shirt on short rides. The thing heats up my arms too much if I wear a short sleeve under it. I wear a Killi 4.0 over the whole get up and I don't quite look like the Michelin man.
I'd like to share a bizarre problem I had with my 2003 DR650SE.
When I turned the bars all the way to the left the engine would die. It would crank over but not start, lights and everything else worked too.
After confirming that it wasn't the choke or throttle cables, I began checking all the electrical connectors. All the connectors seemed fine so I started messing with the harness and found that when I wiggled the harness the engine would die regardless of what position the bars were in. I checked all the connectors over and over to no avail, so I unwrapped the harness from the speedo to the air box. I found NO damaged wires at all, none. I would start the bike and if I wiggled the wires it would die, very frustrating to say the least. I then separated all the non-essential wires, i.e. lights, horn, etc from the critical wires. I was at my wits end and about to set the bike on fire when it dawned on me that I should check the wires for continuity. So I used the sharp probe tips of my ammeter to check the resistance in the wires and found one wire that would lose continuity if shaken. It was orange w/black stripe, critical for the ignition. The wire had no visible damage at all. I soldered in a replacement and haven't had a problem since.
Cliff notes:
Had intermittent electrical problem causing bike to die.
Toned out wires inside harness and found a bad wire. Orange w/blk
Soldered in replacement.
Check the tension of the harness when bars are at full left.
If it's too tight, free it up a little.
I just couldn't imagine a wire going bad on the inside, specially a stranded wire.

Awesome. Is that EDH Blvd you're coming down at the end? I got confused about where you went when you started doubling back all over the place up in The Promontory. Anyway, I did Beatty twice today and it broke me in ways it didn't last week. I was not well fed, I guess. It's a climb, to be sure.

Learning Vocabulary with KVocTrain
Modern language-teaching may focus on context, but
without a good range of basic words, you'll be lost when
you try the language outside the classroom. KVocTrain
helps you build your foreign vocabulary.
KVocTrain [1] is a tool that helps
you learn foreign language
vocabulary words. The Kvoc-
Train program is part of the KDE Edutainment
suite and was originally written
by Ewald Arnold. It works on the
same principle as flashcards. All you
need to do is input words and information
about them, then ask KVocTrain to
run a test for you – it will ask you the
words and record your success rate.
Configuring KVocTrain
To set up KvocTrain, open the application
( K -> Edutainment -> Languages -
> KVocTrain) and select Vocabulary ->
Append Language -> Another
Language, then click Yes. Click the button
Add Language Data from KDE Data base to add a language (see Figure 1). In
this case, I'll select Europe, Southern ->
Greek. In this article, I'll use Greek as an
example language, but you can follow
similar steps to configure KvocTrain to
test you in another language. Use the
same process to add UK English, selecting
Europe, Western -> United Kingdom
at the end.
