    Accessing lower bracket pinch bolts

    I can get mine torqued with a "Craftsman" 3/8 dr. torque wrench. Its tight but doable. These 4 bolts need to be exactly torqued to spec....overtorquing can easily cause damage to the forks!

    JB your a nice guy...and I try to maintain a similar attitude when this has happened to me....its hard! When their rude like that I'll usually put a little "skeered" into them....cant help it. I'm gonna get myself or someone else hurt one of these days! Good job JB sounds to me like you did...

    need help asap. bike stuck at work

    I'll agree with everything pointed towards ignition "switch failure" except you said the gages power up...that doesnt fit. My 2006 did the ignition switch failure thing in Wyoming...it was like turning a light switch off....right in the middle of the highway. For me there was no power to...

    Texas boy in Arkansas,,,

    The best stuff in Arkansas is still a bit further north, up above Russelville. That may be more than you want for day rides. I'll be up above Russelville for a few days ridin, but it'll be the 16th - 19th.

    New seat

    Heres an opinion from the other end of spectrum. Comfort on the bike has much more to do with attitude and just wanting to be there. Your never gonna find a seat thats like your lazy boy at home, aint gonna happen. You cant sit in/on anything for more than several hours and not get...

    Slippery When Pooped On

    Thats a bunch of bull (pun intended) You had no intention of cleaning up any crap before those poor motorcycle riders were forced to ride through that barn. I can see that devilish smirk on your face right now, cause I've seen it before! Great shots!
