    Replacing my hour long stock seat

    If you don't care about the changing the aesthetics from a sexy touring bike to an old man's gold wing then get a Russell. ;)

    Installing new battery.

    About 2 years ago I added a post showing a metal dowel nut that I got from Home Depot that fit in the under part of the battery posts that is more secure than the oem nut. It's just snug enough so when the battery is removed it won't fall out and when screwing in the bolt it is easily grabbed...

    Thanks guys for influencing me to buy something else... aahhhh! Where do I draw the line? For a GenII does it matter which year(s) is the FZ1 mirror?

    Ride on tire sealant question

    You opened up a post that will probably go to NEPRT. Only a few hours will tell. Not an expert here, but from the countless hours I've spent reading on this forum I've learned the tire sealant is not the best choice. Some say there may be damage to the interior of the rim. Some say that the...

    Possible Foot Peg Option

    You would probably want to add a rubber top to reduce the feel of the engine vibration. I put Kuryakyn pegs w/ offset extenders mounted on Bill's plates. The K pegs have thick rubber which eliminates most, if not all, of the buzz. These are very comfy on long trips - can extend the legs out and...

    Auxiliary brake lights

    Can't say +1 Hyperlites until I install them. I'm ordering them this week. Was gonna go with lights from Custom Dynamics but decided to go with Hyperlites due to ease in wiring and keeping a modulator out from under the seat where it's already packed full. However, no complaint against CD - the...

    Gen I vs Gen II

    Yammie made the Gen II's faster... I know because I passed a lot of Gen I's during NAFO in 2008. ;)

    Time for Spring Cleaning!!

    Due to the house purchase, close, and move I didn't get the farkle & maintenance list up to date this past winter. I just shipped the forks to GP Suspension and thus the bike will be idle for a few weeks. 2007 has 18,500 miles on it (didn't ride it a lot last summer). Iridiums/TBS/PCIII done at...

    The Death Wobble

    140 on Avon Storms. No issues except seeing things in the horizon merge into "lines" like it does in Star Wars when hyper drive is activated. B)

    I'm going to see a hockey game tomorrow!

    I attended my first live hockey game ever 2 years ago. It was the Colorado Avalanche in Denver and I really enjoyed it! Hockey is MUCH more enjoyable in person than watchin on tv. Unlike basketball or baseball, the action is non-stop. Incredible athletes demonstrating tons of skills. Congrats!

    Riding without touching the bars

    I like to grind & brew coffee along with pulling out the paper and catching up on the news. It's tough doing the crossword with all that wind, but I've learned if you place your legs on top of tank and over the paper then you can work on it easier.

    FJR is leaving

    HD's are great bikes, just a different style. Remember to wear sunglasses cuz all the chrome can be blinding! Best of luck to you. On the bright side you won't have to read any more NEPRT posts!
