    Metzler Z8

    Understand, I'm not sure what Ross Kean did to his in 3k miles from the looks of that pic. My mistake, just realized that tire belonged to clocklaw.

    Metzler Z8

    I don't know what you people are doing to your Z8's, but my first set lasted 8k, which is the most I've ever gotten out of a set of tires on this bike. 90% of my riding is slabbing 40 miles a day back and forth to work. On this first set of Z8's the rear still had significant tread left...

    Thanks for helping me out with your link.

    E panel removal

    Trying to install Admore lighting kit for the V46. Need to get the E panel off to access the wiring harness connector. Sounds simple enough, but apparently not. I've removed all bolts and quick fasteners the manual calls for, but for the life off me the panel won't come loose. I don't want to...

    Sold my BMW, cash burning a hole in my pocket

    I'd vote for the Bandit 1250 too. Traded mine in on the FJR, liked everything about it except the protection from the elements.

    Bell Revolver Flip-up helmet

    Is this helmet designed to accept speakers? I have an old Nolan N100 that speakers will not fit in properly.

    Gerbing heated gloves

    My experience is that they work pretty well. However, as others have said, they work better when used with a heated jackect liner and dual temp controller. I have all three (Gerbing) and they are a must have for anything below 40 degrees. Install a Powerlet adapter and you sre good to go.

    Jim- it also helps if you have a torque wrench, had to borrow one from a friend when I did mine.

    First ever tire change

    I have also had good luck with the Shinko 009 on my last bike (Suzuki Bandit 1250, 12K on the rear). However, a friend riding a C14 only got 5 K on his 009 rear on his bike. Don't be surprised to not get the same kind of wear on a bigger, heavier bike such as a C14 or FJR.

    Starcom1 Advance Noise Problem

    chivvalry, when you are ready to buy the fuzeblock let me know. I have a brand new one still in the box that I've been trying to sell. I'll take $60 plus shipping, my loss would be your gain. I decided I didn't really need it for power distribution. TC
