    Time to give up riding?

    I just bought a 1981 Porsche 928 for when I can't ride the Yamahama. It is close to being as fun as a FJR for a few thousand dollars and a little time to sort out the neglected stuff. IMHO. Actually, I am having a $%#King blast in it except for the speeding ticket last week. That sort of...

    Thanks, I will check this out. Drilling and replacing with bolts sounds like a real good solution.

    Corbin Smuggler Fit Problem

    ElToro, I thought I looked all over that site for install instructions. Thanks. Well, the pic showed the problem I have. Since the previous owner welded the pins on there is no room for adjustment. No slots to move it back far enough to enable the plate in the back to meet the tang. Thanks...

    Corbin Smuggler Fit Problem

    Thanks Roy. I will call you later this week. I got to thinking and I think I fingered it out, maybe. The pins and brackets are not stock and they were removed when I had it painted. What you said about tweaking the attachments set me in the right direction. Probably does not seat the darn...

    Corbin Smuggler Fit Problem

    Thanks BluesMan. The pins are no problem, it is the back plate that does not have a mating piece to keep it from coming up in the back. The previous owner welded 2 steel pins onto the front and they fit very snug into the holes. The whole problem is the rear plate I figure. There is also a...

    Corbin Smuggler Fit Problem

    My used Corbin Smuggler does not quite fit properly on my Gen 1. The back end can be lifted up about 1.5 inches. Over bumps it will bounce up and down. Corbin would not give me any information since I did not buy it directly from them. Anyone know if I am missing an attach point or hardware...

    I am still bummed out. The only thing I didn't miss is the most likely 500 miles in 109 degrees temp. back home. I thought you guys went to Taos, NM. Where is this Toas place or is that an inside joke. After all the work you did, I want to buy you many beers next time.

    State Bill Would Ban Aftermarket Exhaust

    Just remember....the dudes with the real loud pipes only ride on Sundays between 8 and 10am for breakfast runs and from 2 to 5 pm on the way to the bar. It is only a few miles each way. The rest of the time the bike is in the garage covered up. My 3 cents.

    What Maintenance Stuff Do You Carry On A Couple-Day Trip?

    I try and take along a 30ish Yamahaha trained mechanic of the female variety. that way if she can't fix it at least I have someone to do things with on the side of the road.

    State Bill Would Ban Aftermarket Exhaust

    I have been fighting this for months. Sending letters to my representatives here in California every month. I am sadden that some comments here indicate that it is okay to take more and more freedoms of choice away. Loud exhaust is not that bad here and I ride at least 100 miles a day 7 days...
