Far from crash & burn, it is the less than normal moto tire drama I'm enjoying! I put on CT 2 years (10K+ miles... 1/2 my normal rate, benefit of working from home a lot more) ago and no puncture since then (and a puncture flat on the highway averaging once per year for 3 years before that. I...

Marked in the calendar As for riding, I've been bicycle riding in the Deluz area and been looking forward to taking the motorcycle into the area

Thanks for the replies. I went with the cutout method on the tension bar and commuted the last 2 days on it. I had test ridden a CT shod FJR a few years back after a tech day at Neil's. As for wheel removal and installation, I put 2 pieces of scrap plywood (maybe 1.5" tall combined) under the...

Has there been any failures or problems with someone taking the original rear brake tension (caliper brace bar mount) and trimming it down to fit with CT mounted? Apologies in advance, but I'm not in a position to read all 192 pages (a large portion of which I've read at one time or another)...

https://www.aerostich.com/popupsocal Essentially located on Hwy 78 1st exit east of I-5 in Oceanside I plan to stop by tomorrow, as they are only 2 miles from my house. After 120K miles on my Roadcrafter, I still love my suit. I'll report on onsite deals, etc For those that are interested...

7 is too many for me to advance purchase (stock and re-sell), but if comes down to two or three short, I'd consider buying up the last few to make sure this happens

Wheel is sold

The wheel is still available. You need to check yourself, but I've read this will fit 2005, 2006, and 2007 ABS models This is for a good condition, straight, no dings, etc. complete '07 rear wheel assembly including rotor (but not ABS sensor) for $325 + shipping. If you don't want/need the...

I was in Escondido as well with the whole family. We also watched the depart and return [were at the Finish line at approx 150m mark (south side) in shade ;^)] The family enjoyed being by the team buses watching interviews, meeting Bob Roll and Chris Horner (who lives in San Diego), etc...

Exactly why I got the Rifle, and pillion nice and happy Flip screens are absolutely terrible for pillion as the disturbed air comes right down on them (and often you own back, which is why I hate them even for my own solo riding). You want the air to go over/around your passenger so they get...

Sorry - but defintely not true. With the right shield you can have a quiet, relatively still air pocket while still looking over the top of the shield (incl at go straight to jail type speeds). I say relatively, as even behind the largest screen, there will still be some air flow The downside...

I'll commit for a genII shelf

Gbjbany Do you have pictures of the installed setup on your genII? If yes, pls share

Did you just get the side protectors/Tank Pads, or the center protector as well? I'm inclined to Tank Pro #1 as it is the wide one, but not sure. any suggestions or pictures? I'm looking at $43.95 free s/h on eBay for High Fusion side pieces plus $16.95 for the center

For those that asked - Yamaha "YES" was no help. My best guess is that the dealership mechanic (North County House of Motorcycles, Vista, CA) messed up when he replaced the wiring harness under recall/warranty. The weird part was that harness replacement was performed almost 12 months / 12k...

I'm in plus passenger

I can't stand the traffic either - which is why I ride thru it, putting almost 50K on my fjr in last 4 yrs, and 100k on the Connie before it. What traffic? The only time I have to account for traffic is when leaving the office with coworkers and meeting somewhere....then realizing I need to...

I don't have the specs in front of me and too lazy to look it up at the moment. However, the owners manual has an oil spec /STD listed - important point is to get oil that matches that spec (like API CI-4?, or something along those lines). My recollection is that there were limited options, may...

Exactly One key factor is whether you ride with a passenger (pillion). Lip type screens work okay for driver, but tend to cause a lot of buffetting for passenger. Personally I don't like the back pressure of a back-flip type screen (had one on the Concours). I tried the v-stream, but I have...

We have a 2003 Jetta TDI Sportwagen (auto) as well - 150K mi. Due to prior owner using the wrong engine oil, the engine had an expensive rebuild ($10K) around 90K mi (just before we got it). Some TDI models (other mfgs as well) more senstitive to oil specs than others. Something to check on...
