    WTB -- Pantograph

    Easy to build in an afternoon for under $10. Aluminum stock from Home Depot or Lowes. I built one many years ago for a project my daughter was doing. Build a Pantograph

    Intercoms

    I'm getting ready to post my Starcom Advance system for sale here shortly. It's a rider + pillion system. I switched to Bluetooth so I can more easily use my phone and switch between multiple bikes. I really like the Starcom system and would recommend it if you only want to use it on one bike.

    4000 in 5th.

    I won't ever ride without a radar detector and a 45. I have a radar screamer and vizalert from speed cheetah. God bless America.

    It's so hard to say goodbye--to Remi / they make it worse!

    If a second medical opinion recommends surgery, I would do it. $2700 isn't much if it buys you more years of less painful mobility.

    Flashing Brake Lights

    I have a brake light flasher. But I don't recommend replacing your incandescents with LEDs. Most have found that th LEDs are not as bright. Lots of threads on LED brake lights in this forum. You can find them with Google.

    Orderly progression of mods

    Might make a slight difference if you are at WOT and 9k all the time, but if you ride at less than 100%, you'll likely not notice it. If you ride long distance, adding a seat like a Russell pays immediate dividends. A radar detector and vizalert was on my early farkle list. I agree with the...

    Which Nolan Silver Helmet Matches My '04 Cerulean?

    The white one matches. It has the added benefit of being very visible and causing cagers to wonder "is that a LEO" when they first spot you. PS. I envy your quiver.

    A lot of First's this week - A crash on the freeway

    I know how you are feeling. I am sorry for your injury and thankful like the others here that it wasn't worse. I lived in Houston for many years and did not enjoy the freeways. Looks like a new bike for you when you heal up.

    Best helmet to accommodate speakers?

    Thanks for the pics, Scotty. I'll be cutting this weekend.

    broken headlite lens

    Broken tabs are easy to fix with plastic welding. Plastic welding means melting the tabs back on with a soldering iron - perhaps with some new plastic from another source. It's easy and just as strong as new. BTDT.

    sell bike with or without farkles

    You can get 40-60% of retail for good condition used farkles if you sell separately. If you bundle with your bike, you'll be lucky to get anything for them. The conventional wisdom is to strip and sell as long as you have the time and energy to do so.

    Best helmet to accommodate speakers?

    Scotty, did you cut out some of the hard plastic liner to move the speakers away from your ears a bit? It's the outside edges of my ears rubbing on the speakers that cause the irritation.

    Best helmet to accommodate speakers?

    I have the Autocom speakers in my Shoei RF-1000. After about 2-3 hours, they start to irritate my ears. The speaker is pressing against the outside of my ear. I've got them in the ideal location for sound and have not removed any helmet material to accommodate them. Which helmets have the...

    State Bill Would Ban Aftermarket Exhaust

    You can buy pot, but you can't change your motorcycle exhaust? I like California, but I love Texas.

    I'm Gonna Puke

    That was one of the more painful videos I've ever watched. I'd rather face an angry bear than do what those guys did.
