    Sorry I did not look at this post for a while :blink: No, our group was from the Sherman/Denison-Grayson County. This was my first time to be in the area but the rest had rode the roads numerous years.I agree this is a challenging set of roads but hope to ride again when the wildflowers are in...

    New FJR Model

    Interesting writings and comments but one thing about Yamaha they are slow to react and thought someone commented about their bottom line ,prior. They are probably cautious in development monies as the bike industry is not doing well as is the world economies seem to be stagnant or spiraling in...

    Droid X on the bike

    AEROstich has a set of elk skin touch screen gloves for the tidy sum of 57$. Part # 429. I bought a large Ram box on sale,the thing is cavernous and way too big for me. I used the medium size without the membrane and it worked just fine,just keep some ziploks in the pocket.I used it on a 1200...

    Check those fender extenda's

    Glad I was cruizing the forum and saw this as I had bought one from CYCLENUTZ and saw the screws packaged. Couldn't pull the trigger to put screws in so sat on my hands for the last 1-1/2 months while contemplating or in other terms you fill in___. Glad I saw the ABS glue method. Guess it's...

    Passenger Seat Bag Recommendations

    I 2 vote for the Motofizz-large. I went with a forum recommend and almost did not get as supplier either does not stock many or too early in the year? I might go with the medium size but am a packrat deluxe so went with the large. I took a trip of 1100 miles in 3 days with 850 toting the bag...

    Droid X on the bike

    I got to use my medium size Aqua Ram box last w.e. with my Droid X on a 1100 mile round trip TX Hill Country ride. With the weather never threatening I left the membrane off and used in conjunction with ver.1 TomTom Rider worked great with the phone and even received a text message-dang Jimmy...

    I appreciate the info,it is always tragic to lose a fellow brother. This was first experience to ride the loop and basically those challenging roads. I rode with a group of seven varities of bikes. I personally found it a challenge and great ride. I agree with the complexity of the roads and...

    Droid X on the bike

    My box has one too but the connection to the Droid X is on it's side and all my power supplies have a straight plug. The closeness of the case prevents coming in thru the back and making the turn to the input. I am going to explore a way to power. I purchased an extra battery in case I want use...

    Droid X on the bike

    I got my Aqua Box today and have done a little playing with the Droid X. First it fits the box well with the hard cover I use every day. It comes with 3 different thicknesses foam pads. The Droid DOES NOT work with the membrane supplied with the Aqua Box,as noted thru a few posts. But did find...

    Droid X on the bike

    I have on order from Whitehorse Gear the same set up for the Droid X. I hope sometime in a few days to get the gear. I have a trip soon and am going to use a Tom Tom Rider on another Ram ball. The touch screen will be useless in the Aquabox so will have to put up with that.From what I understand...

    Big Bend State Park

    Thanks for the info I will keep in mind for a early spring trip. I ordered some of those LD shorts and a long sleeve shirt just this week. How do those compare to anything else for heat and comfort?

    Caution with Throttle Spring Unwind Mod

    I will add to this as I am doing the AVCC install. I too found the spring not touching it's home after releasing the tension and thought not good and put back. I am trying the crampbuster also but not long enough to decide, at least only 11 Washington's.Got a major Hill country ride coming up...

    SIilicone and rubber

    I realize this is a 5 year bike with 20K on the replacement cluster but if you notice there are hoses close to these caps and show no sign of degregation. I put the silicone on these when I did the body syncs and never looked at them till now. I have seen deterioration on sway bar bushings and...

    Pilot Road 2 B Spec

    I can't give much input other than say I purchased a B spec rear and replaced the Avons with front and rear Michelins. My thought for going the extra money was I have had issues with durability due to leaks, always rear? I also thought I wanted extra capacity load wise. At the time Derby cycles...
