    TyreDog Pressure Monitor

    It was interesting for me yesterday to watch the pressure climb as I drove in the West Texas heat. Both tires started at about 40-41 psi, and climbed fairly quickly to about 45. Again, I confirmed this with a very accurate gauge after completing my trip. I am concerned about the screw-on...

    TyreDog Pressure Monitor

    Couple of weeks ago, I went to the Grand Canyon...got a flat tire that I repaired...in the middle of nowhere. No idea how long it took for it to get completely flat, but that was reason enough for me to investigate tire pressure monitoring systems. Read the board, used the search function like...

    Bill Mayer or Russel Day-Long Saddle?

    I very recently bought both...leather, new, and driver's portion heated. I like the Russell better, for a variety of reasons. My Bill Mayer is available for sale. Email me if interested. Marc [email protected]

    Vote for my Windscreen

    I am 6', 32 inseam. Recently finished a BunBurnerGold 1500 followed by another 2200 mile trip to the Grand Canyon...using the Cee Bailey +4 +4 with the "flip" on my '08, with a Russell seat. I am not happy with this windshield in any position except the lowest...just too much damn noise and...

    Bill Mayer Saddle GROUP BUY

    My leather, heated seat was completed 4-18. The original build date was 4-7, but they delayed finishing it until 4-18 because they weren't sure they could install the switch in the seat itself. Since mine was a mail-in, they waited until 4-18 because there were several drive-ins that day, and...

    Which electronic cruise control is best (and does it void the warranty)?

    I agree with Jon. I have the McCruise on my '08....what a great farkle...can't say enough good things about this unit. I agree that the only downside is the price. Marc

    Gadget Shelf

    +1 on what Ignacio says...I have had both the Top Gun (on a Gen I)and the N/Line on my current '08. The n/Line is awesome and very sturdy...I love it. Handles my V1 and Garmin 2610 easily, and looks just fine.

    IBA Certification...Took 2 Weeks!

    I did my 1st SaddleSore 1000 on Saturday, March 22, 2008, and was notified by email yesterday that my ride was approved and that I am now a formal member of the IBA! Wow...after reading the posts of the delays last year, I am shocked! Received very nice personal comments from Mike. I have a...

    Leo's Highway pegs, leodro@verizon

    I also want the Forum to know what a great guy Leo is and what a nice product his mounts are. Got a set of mounts and pegs 2 weeks ago, and noticed that the mounts were really too small for my Skyway sliders. I called Leo, and he immediately figured out that he sent me the wrong mounts. He...

    Bill Mayer Saddle GROUP BUY

    I noticed that someone above thought that for the heated option that BMS could not place the switch in the seat itself, claiming there wasn't enough room for the seat. I have a heated Russell, and the switch is right on the side of the seat, quite handy. I do not see why that can't be done...

    Bill Mayer Saddle GROUP BUY

    I called and am in. I think I will do a dual vinyl with heat, but am still considering leather. I have a heated leather Russell which is very comfortable, but it seems to "throw" me forward to the tank more than I like. Was given a build date of April 7 by Susan. Marc

    Russell driver backrest?

    I just completed a SaddleSore 1000 with the backrest....found it to be very useful for my back! I love it. You made a great choice. Marc

    Who has Piaa 1100x lights?

    I mounted my PIAA 1100x under my mirrors using Rex's brackets (bought the whole kit from cyclegadgets.com), with a switch mounted on the left grip (stuck on my McCruise). Handy to be able to turn them on and off without monkeying around with the regular low or high beams. They work great. Marc

    Old Fart Completes 1st Iron Butt

    Thanks to all in this forum who have helped with many suggestions for great farkles. Did my 1st saddlesore 1000 3/22/08 on my heavily farkled '08 FJR. Started in Lubbock,TX at 3AM, and finished there at 7PM. Pretty boring route, but I did enjoy Albuquerque to El Paso...was blessed with a very...

    Bagster Tank Cover and '08 FJR

    Thanks to both of you. Twowheel....once I get this cover off, ya think I should just position or tuck-in the excess webbing from the Bagster, or do I need to puncture the webbing and have it held in place with the bolt? Thanks to both of you. Twowheel....once I get this cover off, ya think I...
