    WTB HeliBars Handlebars Bridge

    Rode about 200 miles today. The previous 2 times I rode, had some problems with my neck. No neck problems today. I was able to ride with my arms in a relaxed position. Very easy install. No need to pull the triple clamp. I adjusted them so that they were all the way back and I was still...

    Hello gentlemen. My wife and I will be visiting our daughter and SIL in Jamestown, planning on getting there the 2nd. I would sure like to swing your way, say hello, and take care of any maintenance that might be needed after a couple of thousand miles. Is there room? Won't need overnight...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Used the Morgan Carbtune today for this spring's TBS. Nice tool, better than the other version. Even nicer was having the PAIR block off plates from Dave. It made the sync go so much better. Thanks Dave

    If he takes the fifth - he's a cruiser. If he drinks the fifth - I think he's probably Canadian

    Suspension improvements - 2 UP

    I installed a Penske 8983 back in January. It seems as if it works fine for 2 up with about the same weight as your needs. It's fairly easy to adjust the "preload" (ride height) for the correct sag depending on whether solo or two up. I would check Penske's site or Traxxion or KFG Racing...

    WTB - Passenger Peg Extenders

    I installed the passenger peg extenders and they really helped with her knee. But her hip still gave her a lot of pain. She felt that the top box was pushing her too far forward and the shape of the pillion seat was forcing her hips to rotate forward. So I pulled the top box and mounting...

    Do I Really Need Motorcycle Boots?

    I haven't had the experiences others have had with laces getting caught. But i just picked up some Alpine Stars from motostorm.it. The main reason is they are Gore-tex without any insulation - I need something that won't be too warm for an upcoming trip to low altitude. I got them at a great...
