Not a whole lot of enduring interest in this one, it seems - they didn't come back with a substantial discount. I guess that frees me to go with the Crowd Favorite BLM cell...

I had already committed to the 10 'n 10 when the IBR5000 was announced. A guaranteed spot in '11 would have been great, but I still would have picked the 10 'n 10 - more torture for my rallying dollar and all that. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for the next IBR. Congrats to...

Wendy, if you ride in on the ysr wearing something really pink as outerware that's normally inner ware, you'll get the free weeenie! :lol: (and all the attention of the freakazoids, too) :o Our golden retriever Sprocket is expecting - and due on November 21st. :huh: I guess what I'm...

The hubby and I have riden ours all around Alaska and Canada, including up to Inuvik. Roads tend to randomly turn to gravel or shale or dirt or whatever is handy to make a road out of, but for the most part they are easy to handle. Neither of us had any trouble, aside from a whole lot of flat...

I did a ride-in appointment for my Russell, so I got to chat with them about the pros and cons. (I did a pretty thorough survey on the subject myself, but I was still pretty much undecided when I arrived at the factory.) I ended up going with vinyl with the leather inserts. I was leaning...

Not too difficult; 'bout two hours, give or take.

Yep - Been there, done that (See avatar pic) 18 year old girl, on the phone, with a friend in the car, headed to the mall. The Perfect Storm of Stupidity. I learned to ride in L.A. so needless to say I have had a few heated conversations with cagers as well. I try to pick my battles cause a...

These sensors can be installed inside or outside the wheel. According to Doran, if you install them outside and remove them when the bike is not in use the battery life increases to 6-7 years. Might be handy to know.

Actually, a lot of Harley shops have a Service Menu with the standard prices for different service intervals. This is because, despite the fact that they have so many different models, the engines are all pretty much the same. You'd likely see Sportster, V-Rod, Twin Cam, and Evo options; some...

That's been my big complaint, too. It seems to me that, in the last few years especially, manufacturers have been specing these weird, unique batteries with wicked high price tags. That's why I was so happy to see that PU finally came out with a direct cross at a reasonable price. I remember...

Be careful - Iron Butt rides were like tattoos and motorcycles for me. I got one under my belt, then it turned into an addiction. You might want to start saving up that vacation time ;) Ever successful ride is an accomplishment, so a hearty congrats on your achievement!!

Holy Blech! :uhoh:

Depends on the climate you live in & how it's maintained. If you are in Phoenix, a battery that lasts two years has hero status. Even a maintenance-free battery will go dead in a perfect climate if the bike is rarely ridden and the battery isn't kept charged. But since the PU battery IS a...

Well, yes, you are correct that nobody can buy direct from PU unless you are a dealer. But that $74.95 price is full retail, and virtually every motorcycle shop in the country carries Parts Unlimited. You've gotta do what you've gotta do in a pinch, for sure, but if you're not stuck on the...

This might be helpful info: Parts Unlimited now makes an YT14B-BS ACM maintenance free battery for the FJR, part number 2113-0092. It is manufactured for Parts Unlimited by Yuasa. (Many PU branded batteries even include paperwork that has the Yuasa name and logo on it.) The best part is...

Bear in mind that we're not working with hard and fast numbers here, we're working with colors (and no, I'm not criticizing - I use a red-to-green gauge myself). So when something goes from green to yellow or yellow to red, we could be talking about as little as 0.1v difference. Also, this is...

Check your stator and reg/rec wires for exposed wire, evidence of heat damage, pinching, etc. Stators and reg/recs don't tend to fail while sitting around for six weeks (although stranger things HAVE happened...). Any charging system wires that might be grounding out or shorting could cause...

Just so we can give Trigger a break, I will say that I could still be interested in this group buy. Perhaps we can get any interested parties to post here. If there are at least five of us willing to buy, I will be happy to take over the coordination effort. Thanks to TriggerT for all your...

To be fair, I'm a "pro" too so I see both sides of this. Strict attention to detail would keep this from happening at all (which is why a lot of guys who used to say "I ain't lettin no girl work on my bike" are now my regular customers), but the reality is that we are all human and sometimes...

Our apartment is only 1.25 miles away from Pinks, but I don't have a scooter :ermm: If I can get my YSR50 street legal by then, would that count as a scooter? Or would I be disqualified for inducing mass laughing fit injuries?
