    Café Racer in TV Commercial

    The CB550 is an in-line four. The orange bike is what the front wheel came off. Carlson_mn originally posted two pics. The first one is gone. BTW, turning CB550s into cafe racers was/is apparently pretty popular. Google "Honda CB550 images" and you get lots of pictures.

    Café Racer in TV Commercial

    There is an ad on TV for Medicare Supplemental (I think). It features a mature gentleman riding an unpainted café racer. It's a really neat looking bike. Does anyone recognize make and model or know what it is derived from?

    Front and rear hub lines

    You stated it is a 2010 bike. All 2010 FJRs have ABS. The ABS stickers were on Gen I bikes, where ABS was an option for a couple of years.

    Best rain pants?

    You might run down to Max's and check out the BMW stuff - if you don't already have a second on your house. Mt 3Phase works great. Unfortunately, they don't make that particular model any more.

    Titanium Peg Feelers?

    Metric fasteners use pitch instead of thread count. Those you show are the right size and look to be about the correct length. They should work just fine.

    :dribble: I really am genuinely sorry to have annoyed everyone. I made the decision not to pass based on the fact that we were spaced out ove 300 to 400 yards of road. The guy in the truck clearly had isssues with me being behind him and I didn't want to pass him and then slow up right in...

    Be Careful in Newbury NH

    Fred, I wanted to double yellow pass that Quebec guy, hauling the trailer ( as we got to WRV ) so badly I was itching. One look in the mirrors though, told me we'd never all make it. Dan

    Throttlemeister not holding

    Before you try a shim pack, the anchor inside the bar may have slipped. This is based on your description that the Throttlemeister used to work and now doesn't. Try this. Get the proper size allen wrench and loosen and remove the bolt holding the weight and slider in place. For your own...

    Breakfast - 7/10/11

    Just a reminder, there is no parking lot entrance on Brown Ave. You have to go to the side street (Winston) just past the hotel. It comes up very quickly, on the right, after getting off I293. Dan
