Stole this joke and forwarded it to my non-motorcycling brethren.

A little too loose just results in a tad more mid-range power. Really. Common practice back in the day with screw adjusted Kawasaki in-line fours was to run at (or slightly above) the loose limit. That being said, you have to ask why is the clearance loose? Next shim down just a little thinner...

I am a big fan of the Go Cruise 2 aluminum throttle lock: https://www.amazon.com/Go-Cruise-2wheelride-Universal-Throttle/dp/B00ERXG4TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462229055&sr=8-1&keywords=go+cruise it grabs the factory grip, and holds it in place against the brake lever. No need to remove grips...

Mike Nixon, at the motorcycle project, has a lot of truly great information -- valve clearance among the mix: https://www.motorcycleproject.com/text/valve_clearances.html It's a good read, and nothing I see that contradicts my experiences and other references

So why not locate the heavy (or light) point on the rim, then see where the balance turns out with a new tire, rotating as necessary to minimize balance weight? Prior to setting the bead, of course, so it won't be perfectly accurate, but might well be close.

I've got a Sargent, and while it's not by any stretch perfect, I find it a world better than stock. I also have the Seat Concepts on hand and about to try -- if it's half as good as it seems (and is reported to be by others!) it's the best bargain in alternate seats -- even if you didn't get in...

I'm a big fan of First Gear's Mesh Tex in Hi Viz -- pretty much the only one I found that didn't have patches of black on the shoulders. I sit in Orlando traffic, and black shoulders just suck in the heat. No thanks. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/firstgear-mesh-tex-jacket

I run the T30 on the front. I have an HF machine with Mojo blocks and lever -- but that sidewall proved much too stiff for me. Other makes worked fine, particularly with zip ties. Ended up paying Cycle Gear $30 to get it on the rim...

How many rides does it take to realize not having the bags is simply too inconvenient.

Just wondering if anyone has heard or read anything definitive on progress at the Orlando Ace Cafe. Most recent thing I found indicated they would be doing a soft opening in January, and grand opening in February -- though that reference was from a AIM Expo discussion, not from the Ace website...

Even better: leave the stock mufflers on, avoid angering non-riders and avoid advertising to law enforcement that they should turn around and point the laser at the loud...

And all the back and forth is for naught if the seats still don't show up... Reads to me as though all there is so far is yet another promise to put the check in the mail.

Still waiting on mine -- but it's only just Friday, so not quite ready to panic yet...

I would disagree about the pizza in FL -- Anthony's coal fired is more than acceptable -- but I've done 468 one way for BBQ in the right company.

I'm in, PM on the way to the gmail address.

Count me in as well. What info do you need?

A 2" length of masking tape will save your fingertips. Fold the tape so that it forms a tab with adhesive ears: _||_ Stick the ears to the shim, use the tab as a handle. Next thing is to get a very flat surface for backing the abrasive. Woodcraft has 8X10 granite surface plates for a really...

I've got a '99 Speed Triple in Roulette Green. No saddle sores, but it has gone from Orlando to L.A. (lower Alabama) more than once. No other motor sings that way a Triumph triple sings.

What makes a filter better than OEM?: " I also use a better quality than OE oil filter (Bosch, Purolator Pure1 or Purolator Synthetic)" I've read a lot of stuff to indicate aftermarket filters can be adequate, but never found any quantified measurement that indicated one as better.
