Ooh TWN, I must reply about replacement of my own favorite gloves of more than 10+ years which recently "gave up the ghost"! Wasn't you BTW, that mentioned my left thumb pokin' out in the breeze on the "Ride for Kids"? I keep telling you to buy this brand, but for some reason you choose...

I think I was 1st on this list to bite and 2nd to receive (longer distance to SoCal), but it seems most that subsequently ordered a VStream also are pleased with results like I was with mine. Maybe John Powers of Nat'l Cycle - an FJR rider btw (ref: "borrec" post page 1) - is smiling now! Way...

I have a love/hate thing with Corbin Saddles... Bought two for my '89 FJ1200 (solo and dual w/ backrest), neither that fit particularly well -and- they were hard. Corbin use to offer too many seats for too many brands and models and their quality control suffered greatly IMO. I even made an...

Glad to hear your initial impressions were favorable! You'll probably know for sure after a 100 mile commute. I just re-read my post of 10-May and see that I did mislead, i.e., I stated: You are correct, I should have stated I can easily see over the top in lowest position with several inches...

This is a good looking rack (with very nice weld filets). If it goes on and off easily -and- "leaves no trace" (as in blems to the stock rack finish), then I too would like one. Maybe clear tape applied to the rack below neoprene padding would further protect and prevent discoloration? Rather...

TWN, no insult taken on my part - hey, I didn't design the stock suspension components! Truly the ride swap we did before our lunch stop in New Cuyama (good food at the Buckhorn - the servers seem to enyoy it also). This was my opportunity to evaluate TWN's farkles-a-plenty... of immediate...

Rolled 275 prox miles today and obtained a real world evaluation of the VStream. I joined Cal Coast Riders for their scheduled monthly ride and enjoyed a romp through tasty backroads. Started from my home sans earplugs and concluded by the time I met the others 20 miles away in Ventura that...

Yeah, well maybe EFFAY gone "BARNYARD", but clearly your Momma dresses you funny! :yahoo:

I shared my VStream pics with TWN, but don't having a photobucket kinda thing to share here. If you want some compressed pics, shoot me an email.

OK, mine arrived and it's now installed. I agree with much of what Shep wrote. I took pics but they sorta replica Shep's and mine are without seated rider. I'm just a tad short of 6' tall. My very brief test ride up to about 50 mph gave me these initial impressions: > Wind noise evident at...

I received the ordered Multivex mirrors for my '04 and they look well made but... ...I'm not sure I'll use them. I had expected they would completely cover the stock lenses and provide a factory-installed appearance. Not so. The cut shape is both somewhat smaller profile than the stock lenses...

I joined TWN and Ojai Roy with 8 other bikes from Cal Coast Riders club. My first time for this event and I was quite impressed by the level of organization and the volunteer staff who all seemed cheerful. During the mostly slow pace, I envied those motor officers playing leapfrog and kept...

When mine arrives midweek, I'll measure it same method I did the Givi now in play. On the centerstand I'll measure from top lip of the screen to the underside of my garage roll up door. This is a quick way to see net height change (without factoring effect of compound curves). The Givi ended up...

Last Friday I nearly ordered one, but not for a rack of any type but as a "seat bag" as product name suggests. My only hesitation was not in knowing how secure those 4 velcro tabs would attach to an FJR stock or aftermarket rear seat section. See pccy here...

Mine shipped today, estimated by UPS to arrive in SoCal Weds 10-May. I'll look forward to a test ride the following weekend and see if my $$ were well spent. I'd sure like to ditch those ear plugs!

I've been thinking about getting a set of FZ1 mirrors for my '04, but just now ordered Multivex lenses instead.

I bit and just ordered me one... I like the look and concept and have been satisfied with quality of National Cycle replacement windscreens in the past. I'm currently using a Givi which works a little better for me than '04 stock screen but still not quiet enough for my likes. I'm hoping for...

OK, I now own two pairs of Oxtar boots; Infinity (dual sport style) which are are taller than Matrix and use adjustable ski boot style cam closures -and- the topic Matrix. Why two Oxtars? For the last, well 25 years (!) I've used a pair of Bates Road Racing boots which are glove soft and...

...as reported in today's Ventura County Star. Newspaper says CalTrans "cleared debris and moved about 10,000 cubic yards of dirt and rocks from a nearby slope".

ZZ's Carrizo Plain map captures the northernmost to southernmost "gates" of this route quite well. After several years riding past the terminix of Soda Lake Road at Hwy 166 (wondering what really lay beyond), a few buds and I did a grand sweep 6 years ago starting from Ventura County by entering...
