    Heated grips.

    Raeswell you did this after install correct? As hard as I pushed and pulled I would think I would have destroyed mine if I did it pre-install

    First scratch

    this is the right side cowl cover that is adjustable "winter/summer" for heat control on the legs. They are flat black. The clip is on the rearward side of the panel. Its very thin spring steel. It was still attached but 1/3 of it is gone. the side that would have had the twist pin inserted into...

    Heated grips.

    It was 45 degrees on the ride home tonight from work. I tried the heated grips for the first time no gloves. On the 3 setting my hands was actually uncomfortably hot with the Grip Puppies. I do agree they are a little to fat if I wear my gloves plus seem to be very "sticky" with its soft...

    Shopping for Seats

    My short legs needed a low seat. 31" inseam. I like Corbin but I also like a stiffer seat. I'm 6' and 290lbs. So the seat will adapt to me or the frame of the bike will bend :LOL:

    Thats a nice idea. That solid silver logo looks really good. I take it the decal is clear? I did actually look at old school yellow. Hurricane Hannah days.

    First scratch

    Thats what happened. The broken fastener was still attached but the pin is lost now. May have been that way when I bought it and just the friction held it in place. No idea. NRA Blue Ceracoat is real close to Yamaha blue. So thats why I was thinking of a coating. IF it was able to be powder coat...

    Its the '13 gray. I've added some color to it already. I think I might get some Dupla-color and go with Yamaha blue.

    First scratch

    Left work a little after midnight all geared up with some good tunes playing. I felt something hit my foot on my right. I didn't see any debris so I thought maybe a cat? Rabbit? something small. After a mile my mind went to ________. You guessed it. Side cowl. I felt down and it wasnt smooth...

    Heated grips.

    When the Puppies come soapy water is your friend. The air hose trick also helps to get them on

    Mirror attachment point for RAM ball?

    I dont care for things on my bars so I went this direction. Has been in the same spot since I put it on rain or shine. With 4" B arm and a Ottocast Lite C5 on the end of that. Have it on the tank.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    I have a Camp Chef. Its going on 8 years old. In the home prior to this one I smoked just about every weekend. all types of meats and veggies. A PID is a key component. Keeping the heat steady and timing is all it takes.

    helmet speakers

    I wear Sena's helmet. Outrush R. Price was cheaper for the helmet then I can buy the Sena 50 unit on its own. Sound is excellent. It looks to have the Spider RT1(looks like a Spider but seems to be a higher grade) built into it so I have mesh and it will work with all their remotes. Phone calls...

    Dunlop Mutant

    I was so close to ordering a set of them but chickened out. I was afraid of gravel out on the back roads. I went back to a tried and true combo( for me at least) of Battlax front and Dunlap Roadsmart 3 rear. I was used to the feel from my Gen1 (roadsmart 2) when I owned it and FZR1000...
