Viking Whiner!! Did your mommy say you can use this forum and talk to strangers? You expected no reply to your comment. You are full of shit. You damn well did and you baited everyone here for your own sick twisted enjoyment. The only reason you know of the couch is you have spent many...

Conwest, SLK50 I an pretty sure it is not the rotors lose on my bike. I have seen and heard the noises loose rotors can make, including the jingling sounds inherent to some BMWs floating rotors. I am trying to figure a way to either prove or disprove it is the pads. We have 4 separate pads per...

When it rains it pours. I just blew up the engine on my 02 wr426, so I bought a new yz450f today. Thanks for the input. While at the shop they couldn't come up with a fix for the FJRs front brakes either. I guess I'll just avoid man hole covers. Later

Has anyone developed a banging (clunking)noise on the front end of the 06 or 07 FJR? Back when I put on the Storms I replaced the head steering bearings with tapered bearings. I torqued them to around 45 ft lbs. This is not the problem, I just rechecked them yesterday. It seems the noise is...

Thanks for the info.

My wife had a stroke about 3 years ago. She was 44 at the time. I saw the tennis ball size dead spot in her brain during the MRI, there were a bunch of small ones in there also. The only way we knew what happened to her was it affected her cognitive reading ability. Hers did not effect any...

wanderer Are these the same pair you currently have about 8000 miles on? If so still sounds very promising. twowheelnut I am more of an ass. Come on get it right. Actually I am very impressed so far with them, dragged the pegs yesterday, but, that is not saying much, I have lowering pegs...

How loaded do we need to be? Bob

Any one who thinks there isn't problem with some of the Avon storms, the one I have in my garage wobbles, I'll give it to who ever wants it. It has 3000 miles on it. I will be throwing it out soon. I will not pay for shipping, so don't ask. Bob

Sprint st Swamps drying up, the gators must be moving into the swimming pools. Feejer/weejer man Does your mechanic hate the 009, or just the Shinko brand in general? Did he give a reason why? What was his expectations for a tire? The point I am making is I also run Avon Venoms on my...

sprint st How they do in the rain? Any surprises? wanderer sounds promising. Bob

Wanderer, I can't remember, do they use the chip-seal process on your side of the Rock? If so if this tire gets that kind of mileage they are already worth it. I have already gone 20+ in the twisties with no surprises. As for the max load rating they are the same as the Storms, rear 805 lbs...

Does anyone here have a problem focusing on the red, orange back light of the speedo and tachometer at night? I can see the liquid crystal display right next to them just fine. I know what the problem is, the wave length of the red color. Is there any source to change the back light, or gauge...

I am starting this thread to talk about the Shinko 009 sport touring tire and to get some collective experience from the users. I did a short 60 mile loop from my house, 70% twisties, the tires had no surprises. Dry pavement, handled well. Bob

3000 miles of riding with the wobble from the Avon Storms was enough. Finished rebuilding my sons 850 turbo Volvo and had some time, so I also pulled of the junk Storms and put on a set of Shinko 009s. I guess from this forum, the Storms are like Budweiser Beer, get a good batch you can't...

Warning if carrying in Colorado. Current regime for no reason except, they don't like guns. I'll let you guys read. "Under SB34, non-resident concealed handgun carry permits will no longer be honored if the permit holder is not a resident of the state that issued the permit. For example, a...

Try amplifying the guns calibrated return signal. ( old guns used I believe a F sharp tuning fork, to simulate 50 mph, it has been a long time.) The only problem would be if they use a sync signal, or some type pulse coded signal, then you may have to punt. You can always try to splatter noise...

I did visit the moron. It ended up with an apology and a couple beers. You guys are pretty damn paranoid. How can you run Iron butt competitions knowing you have to break Laws to win? (What was the average speed of the winner in the last Utah race?) Then caution me about someone knocking...

So why was "Dog Lover" closed? It pertained to Motorcycle riding and will never end, due to the incompetent drivers in this world. If nothing else should it have been moved? Also nothing perverse in any way was said. I don't understand this censorship. Bob

As for painting the bike flat black I'll keep the blue. Hell I don't even own a cell phone. After 30 years of electronics, I am just having some fun. I do have some ECM experience through PMEL, worked also with TX/RC, navcom, weather equipment. I can keep going on and on and on. I even...
