"Whenever I change shims, the math almost never adds up perfectly" When in doubt, looser is better than tighter.

I have a single channel $32 scope from Amazon. It sounds too good to be true, but it actually works for every automotive or motorcycle measurement I've tried it on. Particularly for looking at PWM or pulse controller outputs. My primary use has been looking at HVAC control signals on a 5th gen...

Had to search, but found it. Trying it as a dropbox uploadFJR 1300 cylinder head overhaul pdf If the link doesn't work, hit me with an email via message and I'll send it. The file is 1.9 MB, so was considered large at one time, but pretty nominal nowadays.

I don't have it handy, but there are multiple methods for activating the ABS as part of the bleeding process, including both the front and rear systems. One such method requires a short between two pins in a connector accessed via the battery compartment, although there is also a wired switch...

"AAA towing won't cover a motorcycle unless you have the highest membership (I think its called RV Plus). Don't ask how I know!" The highest version of AAA, supposedly including motorcycle coverage, is a waste of money. I have it and have called for a tow twice in 10 years. The first time they...

Many many moons ago, Rider Magazine had a very in depth article on Ride On, pretty much showing it to be the best thing since sliced bread. Last time I checked, Ride On still had a copy available on their web site. I used it for several years, even when the only option for obtaining it was at...

"The Big Galoots rides tend to be a bit big for me 10-12 riders" Couldn't agree more. My preferred group is always the Gilligan Trio -- me, myself, and I. Used to set up a group ride for off-Fridays from work. Got popular after a bit, and the group got to 10 or 11 one Friday. That's too big...

Not much of a Facebook user, so I seem to have missed a good ride. Cedar Key is a terrific destination. That said, the weather this morning was unbeatable, cool enough gear felt good instead of sweltering. I was missing the Ace Cafe for a post ride cup of joe though.

I believe that how I start the year is important to how the year goes. Posted this last year and went for my ride. Posting again in case anyone wants to ride along. Bit of a warning: I am not a knee dragger. Spirited when I can, but never really an A group rider. Making a morning run to the...

"But OEM shops have the knowledge, experience, and equipment to do it right." SOME OEM shops may have the knowledge and experience, and there may be some that have the correct equipment, but I will never again trust any of the dealerships I've had the misfortune to use to do anything. Was about...

Add me to the no top box group

First, a warning: I am not a knee dragger. Spirited when I can, but never really an A group rider. I like to think how I spend New Year's Day will have an influence on how I'll spend my year. Making a morning run to the German bakery in Yalaha on Sunday morning, having a cookie and cup of...

Seat has been sold, and is on the way to its new owner.

Will update as soon as possible.

No, afraid not.

Working on an estimate for first reply, will post when/if that results in sale.

Only after I posted it on Facebook Marketplace -- but even then couldn't get them to show up at a ride-to location. Astounding...

Bumping for price drop.

Not to continue with an unintentional thread hijack, but my '12 had 30K miles, with exactly one non-original part, a Seat Concepts rider's seat. As to why $1200 -- too long a story for a hijacked thread.

Since there was no interest at my first price, let's try again at half: $125 OBO, local pickup or plus shipping Sargent heated rider's seat, not new by any means, but in very good condition. Heat controller has never been hooked up or used -- just never got around to it. Bought very shortly...
