How To Buy Street Bikes
1 Determine what kind of rider you are. Think about how you are using your bike or plan to use it. This helps you narrow down your two wheeler search. If you commute to work, if you bike for pleasure or even if you bike for work as a bike messenger, these issues all contribute to the type of bike you need.
2 Set financial limitations on your street bike shopping. Street bikes come in so many styles and options that this is often one of the best ways to help decide. 3 Find a bike that fits your height as a rider. As a general rule, the crossbar should be a few inches below your rear end, if you are standing over the bike. However, some more advanced frames have different specifications, depending on your riding skill level and specific body type.
4 Decide how many gears you are interested in having. If you ride for pleasure and live in a flat area, a one-speed bike is a great option. If you ride daily and have some hills, a three-speed is a terrific choice. If you have long commutes and differing terrain, a 10-speed bike will give you the most adaptability. 5 Test ride your bike before purchasing. This is the best way to know whether this bike is for you. If you don't feel comfortable on the ride, test another. 6 Consider brands like Gary Fisher, GT, Giant, Scott and Dawes. Each brand has unique features and colors that may be appealing to you.

Information About Xenon Light Kits
HID xenon kits are used to convert a vehicle's factory-installed headlight system to a more advanced technology known as High Intensity Discharge lamps. HID lights are glass bulbs filled with xenon gas. When a voltage is applied to the gas, it ignites. This creates up to three times the amount of light produced by halogen headlights.
Availability
Xenon headlight conversion-kits are available for virtually all makes and models of cars, trucks and off road motorcycles. Upgrade kits are not available for vehicles with factory-installed xenon lights, due to manufacturer tendencies to use special types of bulbs and connectors.
Colors
HID xenon kits provide a choice of color temperatures rated in degrees Kelvin to indicate the hue given off by the bulb. Xenon lights with a 3,000K rating display a yellowish tint, often used for fog lamps. The 4,300K is the color temperature used for most factory-installed HID lights. Kits with Kelvin ratings of 8,000K produce light with a slightly blue tint that increases as the rating numbers become higher. Lights that display a purple tint are of the 30,000K variety.
Installation
Installing xenon light-kits generally takes from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on how difficult it is to access the original bulb and remove it. Once the original bulb is removed, the xenon bulb plugs into the same connector; it is then remounted into the existing headlight frame-assembly.

DIY LED Auto Lamp
1 Turn off the vehicle engine and open the hood. Using the socket wrench, disconnect the battery by loosening and removing the negative terminal from the battery post.
2 Disconnect the electrical component of the headlight by squeezing in the plastic tabs on the connector. Pull the electrical connector off the assembly.
3 Remove all nuts and bolts on the LED assembly with a socket wrench or a screwdriver. Pull the vehicle headlight assembly out of the engine compartment once the nuts and bolts are removed.
4 Replace the vehicle assembly with the LED assembly and screw down with the bolts or screws. Reattach the electrical connector.
5 Reconnect the negative terminal to the battery post. Test the LED headlights to make sure they are functioning properly.

How to Install a HID Kit in Halo Projector Headlights
An HID kit, or high intensity discharge kit, can vastly improve the function of your vehicle's aftermarket halo headlights. Halo headlights have a "ring" of light around the main light. This type of projector headlight focuses a beam of light onto the road so that you can see while driving at night. HID kits are available from most auto parts stores and aftermarket specialty shops (sometimes referred to as "speed shops"). When purchasing an HID kit for your vehicle, choose an HID bulb with a brightness between 8,000K and 10,000K for your halo projector headlights.
1 Open the hood of your vehicle and unplug the electrical connector from the back of your halo headlight ballast.
2 Plug the factory electrical plug into the HID kit's ballast,HID xenon kit.
3 Turn the halo halogen bulb counterclockwise and pull it out of the headlight assembly.
4 Align the tabs on the HID bulb with the notches cut in the halo headlight housing.
5 Press the HID bulb into the housing and turn it clockwise to lock it to the housing.
6 Plug the HID ballast into the back of the HID bulb.

The Best Parts of a Street Bike
Street bikes, also known as naked bikes, are a very basic type of motorcycle. They resemble dirt bikes but feature parts designed for street driving rather than off-road use. Street bikes also feature smaller engines and fewer accessories than sport bikes or long-distance cruisers, making them among the least-expensive motorcycle options.
Frame
The center of a street bike is its frame. Motorcycle frames are made from welded metal, and street bikes use lightweight construction to achieve a strong frame at a low cost. A street bike's frame includes connecting points for many of its other parts, including the seat, front forks, handlebars and engine mount.
Engine
Street bikes usually employ a dual-cylinder internal combustion gasoline engine. A four-stroke engine is the most common configuration, operating much like a typical car engine with intake, compression, ignition and exhaust cycles. The engine uses one spark plug for each cylinder and two or more valves per cylinder for intake and exhaust. Street bikes may feature either an air-cooled engine, with fins on its cylinders to create more surface area and keep the engine cool while driving, or liquid-cooled engines, with a front radiator and pump system like that found in a car.
Fuel Tank
The fuel tank on a street bike is positioned directly above the engine, in front of the rider. Street bikes feature small fuel tanks that may only hold a few gallons. However, this may give the rider an even greater effective range than the rider of a larger, heavier bike with a larger fuel tank but poorer fuel economy.
Wheels
Street bikes use wheels in the 15-inch to 18-inch range. Wheels may be forged, cast or spoked, and carry rubber tires with rubber inner tubes and a mild tread pattern for on-road driving. So-called hybrid street bikes may come with a more aggressive tread pattern for off-road performance. Each wheel includes a disc brake with a single caliper for slowing the bike.
Seat
A street bike's saddle is usually designed for a single rider, though dual-rider saddles are also available. The seat-and-handlebar configuration place the rider in an upright position with foot pegs directly below the seat. Street-bike seats may include a storage space for tools and often conceal the battery, which powers the onboard electrical system.
Driveline
A street bike uses a chain for its final drive, and a manual transmission with a pedal shifter and handlebar clutch lever. The transmission may include anywhere between three and six gears. The chain drive attaches the transmission, located near the center of the frame, to the rear wheel, which is the drive wheel.
Controls
A street-bike rider has access to a number of controls. These include a foot brake, a hand brake, the pedal shifter and hand clutch. Street bikes also include switches for engaging the headlight and turn signals. Some models may come equipped with a radio, but such amenities are not common on street bikes.

The Uses of Cranberry Fruit Extract
H. Pylori Infection
H. Pylori is a bacteria that lives in the stomach; sometimes it lives there without causing problems. Other times, people end up developing ulcers because of it, among other stomach issues. The Mayo Clinic explains that early research shows that cranberry might aid in the reduction of the Helicobacter pylori bacteria that live in the stomach, thereby decreasing the chance for ulcers. The use of cranberry fruit extract for this condition also receives a grade of "good" from MayoClinic.com.
Other Uses
MayoClinic.com gives the following uses for cranberry fruit extract a grade of "unclear" as far as evidential proof is concerned; research is being conducted and the extract is being used, however, as a potential treatment: cranberry extract may be used as an antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal. Based on research, cranberry has been recommended as being an option to prevent cancer. There is a possibility that cranberry fruit extract might contribute to preventing the formation of kidney stones. Also, cranberry may not be able to work alone to treat urinary tract infections, but in conjunction with other treatment like antibiotics, it may be helpful.
Role of Silymarin in Diabetes
Improved Liver function leads to improved Diabetes Control
The liver is the first and most important tissue involved with insulin utilization. In secondary diabetes due to liver damage, insulin resistance in particularly pronounced. The reduction in lipid per oxidation produced by silymarin can lead to improved metabolic control and a reduced requirement for endogenous insulin in such patients, as demonstrated by this investigation conducted in Italy.
METHODS
A homogeneous group of 60 patients with diabetes caused by liver cirrhosis who were being traded with insulin were randomly assigned to receive silymarin 600 mg/day or no silymarin for 6 months; all were receiving insulin therapy and had elevated endogenous insulin secretion suggestive on insulin resistance. Additional criteria for inclusion were; age between 45 and 70 year; insulin therapy stable for at least 2 years; negative markers for hepatitis A, B and C; alcohol abstinence for at least 2 years; liver cirrhosis determined on biopsy no earlier than 4 years previously; and class 2 according to the Child classification of cirrhosis. Ranges of measurements were conducted to assess metabolic control, serum lipid levels and liver function throughout the treatment period.
