    Wilbers ABS install

    I was going to post on this a few weeks ago. I had a ***** of a time routing the pre-load as well. I did wrap it in bubble pack w/e-tape to protect it but I did't figure it was going to take that long to route. My problem was the SS line was always too short to reach nicely to the mounting...

    Impromptu ride Sunday 3/26

    That's a great view. I took a shot like that, but I couldn't find my bike. :lol:

    Bent Rear Wheel

    The shop guy thought a new one was $650+ which I thought was a reasonable price, but if I can get one for $300 it would definately make more sense to get the new one. I'm going to do some checkin on this. 300 bucks seems to good to be true.

    Impromptu ride Sunday 3/26

    Did both of these rides last Nov and had a great time. I only saw 2 cars on Carmel Valley and none on the Hunter Liggett / Nacimiento Rd down to PCH. :D Here are a few shots I took along the way. Carmel Valley Rd heading south Hunter Liggett Nacimiento Road This is Nacimiento just...

    Bent Rear Wheel

    Well thats good news that I don't need to replace it ;) I don't think I could ever ride at speed (or below) again knowing "something might happen" :o I also can't afford to loose any sleep, so I will send it out on Monday and get it fixed. This will be a small price to pay for the peace...

    Bent Rear Wheel

    On a trip out of town yesterday I had a rear flat on the freeway in the left lane @ 70mph. This happened in about a 1/2 mile...didn't have much time to react. I managed to get across 4 lanes to the shoulder and had about 200 yards to the exit which I was able to make. I was fully loaded with out...

    Fork Oil

    @MCRIDER007 I've decided to use the Silkolene Pro RSF 2.5 and at $15 each I use something else for the flush. Thanks.

    TBS

    Just finished my TBS yesterday.......took me 45min.....and that was just to clean up the MERCURY SPILL!!!!! 911 :o It's a good thing I keep the original container that the mercury was sent in. I only spilled a few drops onto the packing blanket I had on the ground..then some of those got in...

    A year is a long time to wait between rides (waiters know :P ), so lets have a ride day once a month!

    Go Fast, Turn Left

    +1 here as well. I've been trying to match my chicken strips for a long time now, and the right side always has more. I was in Australia earlier this year and I had an easier time going left there as well. Could it have anything to do with our steering wheels in our cars being on the left...

    Armand, I,m getting close to my check-up and this info is great. So what's the bottom line on the cost of this from YOC? Are we talking around $500 or is it gonna be more?

    Group Buy for the Passport 8500 X50 radar detector

    I've used the H.A.R.D. system for about 2 years now and I'm a happy camper. It uses 2 lithium 2032 batteries and they last for a couple of weeks of riding 6 hours a day. Thats not as good as they say, but it also depends on how often the unit goes off, and if you remember to turn it off after...

    Has anybody used the Luma disc lock?

    It has been discussed here in this Thread. Forum member Skippy was trying to work out a deal so we could get them here in the US.
