    New Rifle

    Did you get any buffetting from the Yamaha Touring shield? If so is it better with the Rifle? I usually get pretty clean air in the down position with the yamaha touring shield but get buffeting when its raised. With todays strong headwind on my long ride I got a little buffeting even in the...

    Wanted: Rifle/Cee Bailey Windshield- GenII

    I know you purchased my Cee Bailey a while back but don't rule out the yamaha tall screen. I have a cal sci medium, and while it is pretty quiet and the yamaha tall is not, the airflow from the yamaha tall is pretty good for me and it is cheap. The cal sci is much larger and it a little...

    36mm Socket - Dallas Area?

    I picked one up at sears today (ridgemar mall), I also saw one at Cycle Gear. The real trick is finding the 19MM hex socket to remove the front axle. I looked all over today and no one had it. I did order one online today for $13 before shipping. Hopefully I can get it to mount my new...

    When leaving Dallas?

    Sounds good, last time I went up there I met a group in Sherman at 8:30 and we arrived about 5-6pm. We took a lot of back roads and had about 4 stops. I am open for whatever.

    When leaving Dallas?

    I am a possibility for this trip, I have my reservations for hotel already. I also like the Telimena (SP?) drive. Do you mind one more tagging along? What time would you be meeting at 75/380? I ran the Telimena last time I went to Eureka springs. Althought it was wet and foggy, it was still...

    How worn is my Strada E?

    vs Wow, pretty big difference. I had never seen a new one. First picture is not my bike, pic stolen off another thread. Got my front roadsmart yesterday but SW Moto Tire messed up and sent me a second front, not roadsmart. My rear roadsmart should be here tomorrow.

    WTB - topcase with backrest or just backrest for wife

    I am looking for a backrest for the wife, or a topcase/backrest combo. Either will need the mounting hardware to mount to my 2006 FJR. Anyone have one they want to unload?

    I may keep them on for a little bit longer, at least through my first trip which is shorter.

    How worn is my Strada E?

    Screw it, I just ordered some Dunlop Roadsmart tires from SWmototire. $250 delivered for the set. Lets hope they turn out ok, first reviews seem to be good. I wanted the PR2's but they are not in stock. I needed something for the upcoming trips and don't want to be worring if my tire will...

    How worn is my Strada E?

    We don't have too many curves here in Texas, or at least a lot of straight to get there. Hey its 500 miles to Arkansas (SFO) and then I will only be on the sides of my tires. Did you get that with a Diablo front or Strata front?

    How worn is my Strada E?

    I purchased this bike used from a forum member in November. He said he had 1,000 miles on these tires, which also included a track day. I have put on 3,000 miles for a total of 4,000 miles on these tires. The front tire is a regular Diablo (not strada) and the back is a Diablo Strada E. Back...

    Saturday ride

    It was nice to meet you as well. Maybe I will help you and Ryan install the Heli clamps and he can set the suspension up on the DRZ. Now I am a little torn between the offroad TAR ride and SFO. Arkansas is really nice and I will be in the Hill Country 2 weeks before SFO already.

    Calsci windscreen impressions

    I have a calsci medium purchased off a forum member. It had been sitting in a box because I was enjoying the factory tall shield. I initially did not like the calsci because it took off so much air the slight lean forward position of the bars was uncomfortable without any wind to hold you up...

    Where are you getting your ECU replaced at?

    I got mine done today since I was off. It took about 30 minutes. They let me watch while they did it. It was pretty simple, plug and play basically. I told them I had a power commander but that did not matter, everything seems to be just like it was before I did the switch. This was the 3rd...
