    CO2 Tire Inflator Cartridges -- Any risk from heat?

    i have some i've carried on 5 different bikes for over ten years. on smaller bikes they are the only option. i dual sported for a lot of years and carried a lot of things. like others i never had a flat but i helped out a lot of people with flats and other problems.

    Steering head wrench?

    no one that i have reminded stiffed me. i will be the first to admit i forget things so i am pretty tolerant. i am getting ready to send out reminders. it's funny because every time i send out sockets the same percentage of people require reminder 1 in 15.

    Question for Corbin Seat People

    i have had a few bikes (six i think) that i purchased with corbin seats already on them and i have never liked any of them. very hard and uncomfortable to my a$$. but everyone is different so test one out and see if you like it. you can always sell an aftermarket seat and only lose a little.

    What's Wrong With This Picture

    you didn't have to remove the seat to realize it's one of the slow blue fjrs. hurry and trade it in for a fast black one.

    FJR 1300 and KTM 950

    multiple bikes is the way to go. i love having an assortment kinda like golf clubs. what do i need today? you will find the transition to the fjr easy. the ktm feels snappier but the fjr will kill it in any speed contest and do it in comfort. take a while to get used to the forward riding...

    Tips for 2 up riding sought - been a while, so looking for advice

    i know when the wife is asleep when her helmet bangs on my back. it has only happened a couple times on the fjr but was common on the goldwing. after warning her do a couple brake tests and hard accelerations so that she gets the feel for them and you will also. that way when you have to do a...
