How do you install mirror covers? Easy as 1, 2, 3. The ambient air temperature needs to be 60 degrees F (15 degrees C) or above for installation. This temperature will provide the best adhesion for the adhesive. When you receive your mirror covers look to see if there is a list of items that should be enclosed. Usually you will have a cleaner, sometimes an adhesive promoter, and the covers. If the cleaner is not there or if you prefer you can use straight rubbing alcohol to clean the outside surface of your mirrors. You just want to make sure there is no oil, wax, bugs, or grime that might prevent the adhesive from sticking. Before you remove the adhesive backing, be sure to test fit the covers. I can never say that enough, always test fit any type of aftermarket accessory. Test fitting does 2 things for you: 1. It gets you more familiar with the best way to put the cover on. 2. Test fitting lets you see how they will look before you install them. Most times something can not be returned after it has been installed because it can not be resold. When the test fit is complete, remove the adhesive backing, install the cover and hold firmly in place applying consistent pressure. I like to use a towel and wipe firmly from the center to the edges to remove any air bubbles that might be trapped under the adhesive. Polish your mirror covers up, stand back, and admire. I bet you'll be quiet impressed with yourself.

Here's some more interesting notes regarding chrome mirror covers or chrome mirror overlays:

What are they? They are a cover that is placed over the front side of your existing car, truck, or SUV exterior rear view mirrors. Most mirror covers are made from an ABS composite material through an injection molding process and chrome plated. Some manufacturers have developed special branded products that are specific to that vendor such as 6061 T6 billet aluminum by Action Artistry.

Why would you want mirror covers or mirror overlays? Most people get a set because they like the look and style it adds to their vehicle. It's a way to give your car, truck, or SUV a little bit of a custom look without investing a lot of time or cash. It's a way to stand out from the crowd just a bit. If your one of those people who can never remember where you park and have been known to stand outside someone else's truck (it looks just like yours), pushing the little door unlock button, and thinking what's going on? A set of mirror covers can save that embarrassing moment when the real owner has to ask you to move so they can get in their truck. Perhaps there was a small incident with a drive up window or one of those pesky concrete post, you know, the really bright yellow ones. If you have a scratch or crack in your existing mirror, a set of covers is a great way to make that go away. You won't be reminded that you are a bad driver every time you walk up to your vehicle and your insurance company will never have to know.

Who makes them? Putco, Auto Ventshade, and Action Artistry are some of the most popular manufacturers. GM, Ford, Mopar, and Toyota all make mirror covers or overlays if you want to stay with an OE product.

Where can you get mirror covers? Most any automotive aftermarket accessory store like Cabelas or Jegs should have them on the shelf. You can order them on-line from hundreds of etailers.

Are mirror covers available for my vehicle? Probably. To find out, just search for them on-line. Search for Chevy HHR chrome mirror covers or Dodge Ram chrome mirror covers or whatever vehicle you have and chrome mirror covers.

What do I need to know before I get ready to purchase a set? You need to know the year, make, and model of your vehicle. If there are any special options on your exterior rear view mirrors it would be good to have that knowledge. My vehicle has exterior accent lights in the bottom of the mirrors that come on when the engine is off and you shut the doors. They stay on for about a minute then shut off. Turn signals are option available on exterior mirrors. Before you make a purchase give your mirrors a once over and become familiar with them and you won't have any problems.

There are many aftermarket automotive accessories that install with adhesive like door handle covers, rocker panel covers, head light and tail light trim rings and covers, and brake light covers. This installation process works for all of them. So go crazy and customize your ride. Here's an interesting article with pictures on a Ford F150 we put chrome accessories on.

Flat Motorcycle Tires... Roll Hard!

Motorcycles with flat tires . . . roll hard! If your motorcycle is cruising along at 55 mph and your rear motorcycle tire suddenly deflates [has a blow out!] you now have a tremendously, dangerous challenge ahead of you. Avoiding other vehicles, controlling the steering, a swaying rear-end making everything unstable makes for a sizable victory when you roll off the side of the road and come to a stop. Congratulations, job well done! More riders than not end in an accident or something worse. All because of their motorcycle tires. Who knows your thoughts if it is the front tire to blow? You better be prayed up.

We all want a sharp looking bike. Once you select your make and model, your interest is on chrome, color, accessories, personal appearance, dress etc. but let us not forget about the importance of the rubber motorcycle tires that get us around. Frame, structure and engine all work together and hopefully are worry free for years. Motorcycle tires keep moving and we need to often watch for wear and safety.

There are two critical places that motorcycles need to be checked before each ride or at least once a month. Both are easy to do and both are many times overlooked. One area is brake fluid. If the pedal is mushy, bleed the lines or have someone else do it. Two, motorcycle tires need to be inspected. Why do we forget these?

Our safety depends on it. We trust our life to the two motorcycle tires under us that have at best two patches of rubber in contact with the ground the size of our two hands at any given moment. Move that along at 55 mph or even at 15 mph and each of the motorcycle tires is taking on a serious responsibility. The attention and care we offer towards our motorcycle tires can help us tremendously with our safety and enjoyment of biking.

Here are some areas where things can go wrong with your motorcycle tires:

- Tire Pressure: Under-inflation may cause uneven wear, loss of control [stability], wears the motorcycle tires out faster and increases the chances of the motorcycle tires failure. Over-inflation allows motorcycle tires to heat up, limit traction [although a slight 10% over-inflation may actually increase traction in wet conditions] and affects the wear. To correct these, use a good tire gauge and check the motorcycle tires when it is cool. Keep the motorcycle tires pressure at the recommended PSI.

- Fluids: Brake fluid, gas and lube spills need to be cleaned immediately. It deteriorates the rubber. Many of the cleaner protectants used on motorcycle tires harm the finish rubber. The best way to clean is to use old-fashioned soap and water.

- Bumps: Potholes, curbs and stones may slash or crack the tire. Look for any problem.

- Accelerated wear: Everyday use may be a potential hazard. Spinning motorcycle tires on take off or holding the brake on emergency stops need to be checked.

- Nails, screws etc.: It is better to find them before you ride than to discover these nuisances 20 minutes down the road. Motorcycle tires that use a tube may "pop" from a nail/screw or sharp object, where a tubeless tire may have the nail/screw actually plug the hole they created which gives you a little more time for repairs.

- Valve stems: Make sure the cap is on. It helps to protect the valve stem from leaking air and protects the stem valve from opening by centrifugal force and leaking air at higher speeds. When you use motorcycle tires with tubes, the valve stem should be straight out. If it is on a slant, the tire has been under-inflated and the tube has moved around the rim. Often this damages the tube and creates a leak.

- Tire weights: Weights need to be firmly fixed to the rim. If they fall off it will throw the tire out of balance and cause uneven wear.

- Rim: Cracked or dented rims are potential problems. You may want to replace wire spoke wheels when they become damaged with a cast or billet wheel that uses tubeless tires. Check with your dealer on this.

- Worn/torn: Thin tread is easier to detect. Flat wear is due to leaning very little and driving mostly in a straight line, resulting in a ridge at the edge of the flattened middle of the tire. This causes motorcycle tires to become unstable in a leaning turn. It wants to warble. The tire may have more wear but it should be replaced. [It is good to replace both front tire and rear tire at the same time.] Sidewall punctures, cracking, cord separation are an alert.

- Tread: Check the grooves called "sipes" making sure that the tread is still sufficient. The lack of having tread affects the cooling of the tire when in use, wear, stability, traction and can cause hydroplaning on wet roads.

When doing your inspection of motorcycle tires get a friend to roll the bike while you check the tread and sidewalls. You may need to get a work stand if alone. Obstacles to having a good inspection are long pipes, saddlebags, fenders etc. making it hard to see the rear tire. Front motorcycle tires are a bit easier to examine. This sounds like a lot but it goes quickly and is easy to do. Make it a habit to check your motorcycle tires frequently.

Some miscellaneous information you need to know. You will have better handling and get more out your motorcycles tires when you keep the rear tire aligned and balanced. Consider having this looked at approximately every1000 miles. Be careful when you have new motorcycle tires it takes the first couple of rides to get traction working well.

So! Happy riding and remember to check your motorcycle tires often.

Is my bike street legal? Need help bad?

I have a 2007 MINI YAMAHA C.V.T R-6 50cc BORED TO 70cc 2 STROKE GAS/OIL MIX,AND HAS A KASTAR JET KIT WITH A 10mm THUNDER SLIDE,WITH A 12 volt GEL BATTERY,THIS IS A (FAST LITTLE BIKE AT TOP END 60mph)HAS A HEADLIGHT,TURN SIGNALS,HORN,BILLET ALUMINUM STAR MAG WHEELS,CHAIN DRIVE,DUEL PORT EXHAUST,DISC BRAKES.THIS BIKE RUNS GREAT AND HAS PLENTY OF (GET-UP-AND GO)AND IS (FULLY AUTOMATIC)WITH A CHROME SWINGARM. Is my bike street legal or not? Can I ride it on the road? I am 16 and live in tennessee. Could someone please let me no something. Thanks.

A two stroke can be made to meet emission standards, that is not the issue here. The issue is was the bike built for street use in the first place? If not then you'll need to contact your DMV and find out if conversions are legal in your state or not? In Ontario where I happen to be from, they are not, if the bike was built for off road it remains an off-road bike, same for competition units, If the bike was built for road use, it can be used on the road.
