    New Tire Or A Plug

    IMO, these plug/patches are the best https://www.stopngo.com/Contents/1035.asp. They are a combination plug and patch and applied correctly will not fail. I don't know about the vendor, just the product.

    Intercoms

    speakers are held in place by velcro tabs. you should have a helmet that 1) has a recessed area to put the speaker (you don't want the speakers pressing on your ears too much) and 2) has internal pads that separate from the shell so you can run the wires in between the pads and the shell. my...

    Intercoms

    I have a Chatterbox GMRS X1 and it auto switches between devices. No switches to move. I got it mostly because a lot of other riders I ride with have them and they seemed easy to use. I'm not happy that it stops working in rain, though.

    what's the best tankbag?

    I love my Nelson Rigg. They have a large selection to choose from and the quality is top notch. If you check the magnets every time and clear of pebbles, rocks, sand, etc., you won't be scratching paint. I've had my NR for 2+ years and use on 2 bikes and never had a scratch. NR site

    How do you like your Scorpion helmet?

    For NorCal, Cycle Parts in Carmichael carries them (7619 Fair Oaks Blvd, Carmichael, CA 95608-1703 (916) 944-1229). I bought an EXO-700 and love it. Great venting, no fogging and relatively quiet (about the same noise as my Shoei RF900). Mine fits so snug, there's no way it can lift or move...

    Motorcycle Camping

    if you really need an itinerary, post up where you're going and let the forum members help you with some spots. i usually just find some general destinations and possible camping site locations online beforehand and print out a couple sheets of paper (rather than a book), and then pick when i...

    Making Road Kill

    sometimes it's just unavoidable to miss them. do whatever it takes to keep on 2 wheels. after i have been through some carcass on the fjr i have to keep my dog away from the bike. i've caught him trying to mark my wheels/tires. :bigeyes:

    Purchasing 2006 In Ca

    i'm not sure about the fjr, it says to call. but for most other yamaha's, these guys have the best ca otd price i've seen. it might be worth a call. i do know several guys who have bought from them and were completely satisfied. they're right by LAX, just pick up and ride back. :D...
