Hmmm, I see.... So you WANT to be associated with being archaic... Far be it from me to rain on your parade! I am SO happy you're a FONT of knowledge...bwahahahahaha!!!! :P :P :P Jim

Umm, Groo, not to nitpick, but the word under your avatar should be "fount", not "font", I believe. See the first definition here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fount Just trying to be helpful

Jill, SO sorry to hear about this, but it sounds like what everyone is saying...that it was totally unavoidable. Now I'm tempted to stay out of the left lane, but then again I see people zipping over three lanes of traffic to get to an exit they almost miss, so I guess it doesn't really...

Thanks everyone for the info on tires. SkooterG, that was affirm on someone trying to sell me a tire. I probably will get some Avons or Pilot Roads down the road (no pun intended), but since I'm not working right now, I should probably just stick to the one rear for now. As far as the date...

Thanks ladies and gents for the advice, and... FlyingLow, that'll be a +1 on the breaker bar. Thanks again one and all... Jim

Guys, In addition to the above-mentioned info on date codes, (I was told that a date code DOES matter, btw, so I don't know what to think) what is the difference between the tires listed below? Metzler Z4 180/55ZR17A Metzler Z4 180/55ZR17(J) Also, since I'm currently runninng Z4's on my...

Hi... I inadvertently used my torque wrench to loosen the oil filter on my '05 for the first oil change. I don't remember what the setting on the wrench was when I used it, but it's a $70 Craftrsman from Sears, so maybe I should just get another one instead of worrying about...

Chickey191 (and everyone else), thanks for the replies!! The guy used to be a wrench at a Yamaha dealership...musta liked the purdy blue on my fast '05. The sun was actually glinting off the nail-pretty lucky catch, if ya ask me! Nah, the nail was in the outside part of the tread, just about in...

Guys (and gals), I need a little advice. I have a couple of problems. I was eating lunch today and a guy came up to me and told me that I had a finishing nail in my rear tire, so I go out to take a look and, sure enough, there's the head of a small finishing nail in my tire. I call my...

Need some quick help here, if you folks would be so kind... I just picked up some D & D risers, but the instructions want me to take the handlebars off. In order to do that, I need to take all the stuff off the bars, according to the service manual...do I really have to do that, or can I...

So, okay, now I have the cash to get some sliders, but the question is: The standard Moko's, or the polished Metisse (which sould match my Jarmo bar ends) (Skyway, do you know if youor bobbins will fit on the Metisse hardware?) I happen to like the g-a shiny ones, and no, I'm happily...

GunMD, I'd be interested in a (polished) pair of those if your uncle is game. Yes, I'll pay for them (at a reasonable price), say maybe $65 or somewhere in that neighborhood. Please advise... Jim

Slapnpop, The website below (and the company represented) belongs to a friend of mine, (who is also a bass player, btw). https://www.accugroove.com/ He's received a lot of good feedback from a lot of different folks, so check it out if you're interested. Regards, Jim

ScooterG, Thanks soooo much...I KNEW it was around here somewhere. Have a cold one on me, O wise one! :drinks: :trinibob:

Guys, Any cutting of the OEM guards needed (just the vertical part that glues onto the metal guards from SB). I KNOW I saw pics of this somewhere, but my brain is having a "middle-aged" moment and I can't find it. Oh, to be young and stupid (but with a decent memory). Thanks- :trinibob:

Hey, folks, coupla questions regarding the install on a 2005 ABS: 1. Do I need to loosen the axle pinch bolts? 2. Anyone got a pic of just where, exactly, 1/8" below the fork seals actually is? (Hey, I aint no freakin' handyman type-so sue me...) :haha: 3. 10 ft./lbs. for torque...

Roger that, ScooterG.... Got some JB Weld in the big toolbox! (It's the 4-minute bond stuff.) If it's worked for you that long, it'll be just fine for me. Thanks for the info. :thumbup: Jim

Tried a set of the adapters without knowing about turbodave_98's issues, but didn't like the way that they "flopped around" between the rotors...made me really nervous, so I took 'em off but kept the metal cap. td_98, glad you're okay after that scare. The 90 DEGREE stems will go in at my...

Warchild, I'm getting ready to install my Superbrace, but I need a liitle advice. Jestal used a pop-rivet to attach his plastic fork bug guards to his SB; ScooterG used some JB Weld; but I remember somewhere reading that you used something called CBX (I thought, anyway, but now I can't...

Alex, What are you going to do in regards to the stickers that folks want based on the patch? Yea or nay on the stickers/decals? How about a static decal I can put on my windshield? Hey, I can get one for my cage as well...that'd be cool! (Just a thought!) I'm in for two patches...
