    New Bill Mayer Saddle

    Over the past few years that I have been reading this site, I have read a few guys that I respect say that they really like Bill Mayer saddles. I decided that I was going to do a tour through California for my Spring Vacation and decided to do a ride-in. I was amazed at how easy it was to...

    Buying Etymotic E6 filters in LA or Phoenix?

    I am on a trip and my filters went out and the spares are all the way back home in Austin. Does anyone know any stores that sell the filters in Los Angeles or Phoenix. I know it is a long shot but I though I would ask. Thanks Chad

    Lousiville Ky Help

    I think it was mostly a mileage issue. They were pretty worn out at around 8,000 miles. The part that I found a little odd was that one small section was much worse then the rest of the tire. It wasn't just cupping. It would be like the red section below was worn below the tread but the rest...

    Lousiville Ky Help

    I am on a trip heading toward home and stopped in Louisville Ky. My front tire has decided to wear funny. 2/3 of it is fine and 1/3 is worn almost completely slick in the middle of the tread. So .. Anyone have any experience with shops in this area? Any advice for trying to get a new tire...

    Tire Watch

    I have bought the Tire Watch system and have it working but am curious if anyone found a good way to mount the receiver on their bike. I currently keep it in the clear cell phone pocket of my tank bang, but am interested in other options. Thanks Chad

    Mccruise Installation question.

    LC, I have both. I did the Heli triple tree first (I don't use the risers). I am not sure that it really matters what order you do them in. It might make sense to do them at the same time but if you have issues you might not know who to blame. The triple tree requires the re-routing of the...

    Mccruise Installation question.

    Hi Colorado, My problem was with the throttle. The throttle grip was a little stiff. I took it apart and took out a little more of the free play and made sure the throttle grip was free. It works like a champ now. :yahoo: Hope that helps Chad

    Mccruise Installation question.

    My FJR is an 06. I am failing the carburettor cable free play test. It takes about 27 presses before the revs start to rise. The vacuum appears good although I don't have a gage (will probably buy one this week) and I believe that the cable is adjusted correctly. The free play is very low...

    Master Yoda Riding Position

    Yoda riding position really helped me with the wrist problem but after a 4 day 1500 mile ride I have a new issue. My back is really jacked up 2 weeks later. I guess I need to hit the gym :) .

    Attention "waiters"

    YIPEE... Tony from Yamaha Sportcenter just dropped me an email saying that he received confirmation on the delivery and mine is scheduled for April. He thought it would be around in the middle of the month but said it could be anytime during the month:). The waiting is coming to an end. Chad
