    (edit) Cheap 7K tires

    Dont flame Im in the market to pick up a set of tires for my trip out west in august. I found a good deal on some road 3s but was considering other brands. The only reason I ask is I need something economical(found the roads for $260). My trip will be around 7k miles so I need something that...

    Do I Really Need Motorcycle Boots?

    Ive always used my leather work boots but picked up some dainese nighthawks a few days ago. Nice boots but every pair ive ever tried has been stiff and uncomfortable. Im going to give the night hawks a few months of steady use to see if they will break in. I got a great deal on them so cant...

    Anyone use a back brace

    I usually hit the gym up several times a week and usually do abs and core on every trip so thats not an issue really. I read some on mid back pain and one of the reasons for it is an injured disk in the lower back. When I hurt my lower back I couldnt walk for a few days and it took a few weeks...

    Anyone use a back brace

    I hurt my lower back about 1.5 years ago which is healed now but I have mid back pain. It hurts after sitting or riding the bike for hours. Does anyone use any kind of support for longer rides?

    Project R Tail Light Unit

    It looks nice but I dont like the $200+ price tag. I just installed hyperlites on mine to improve braking visibility.

    GoPro *Is it worth it?*

    If im not mistaken the firefly will bt video to the phone app so you can check. If it does it im sure the gopro will. Apparently I need to get it out and play with it some more. I received it as a groomsman gift so I cant complain for free.

    GoPro *Is it worth it?*

    That I havent attempted yet. It came with a lot of mounts and accessories. It looks to be the same size as a gopro. If nothing else I need to check the measurements. A gopro mount may work with it.

    This and That

    I lost that same piece on my 14. Just the rubber decal isnt much. The other side was peeling off too so I put a dab of adhesive on it. I lubed the splines on my 07 when I had it. They were completely dry and rusted. I put some honda moly on it. When I change the rear on the 14 im going to check...

    Is FJR a good commuter?

    The fjr is good for everything. My commute is 7 miles and I ride it about every day. To the store, gym, whatever. Definitely not too heavy.

    Looking at getting an FJR - one concern

    The oem tire on my 14 sucked but no head shake. It had a vibration and made a roaring noise but that went away when I replaced it with a road smart.

    GoPro *Is it worth it?*

    I bought a generic one for my trip out west. Its a firefly and works well. It doesnt have a screen though. A buddy said he wouldnt waste the money on the screen for the bike. Plus the firefly bluetooths the pics to an app on your phone. I assume the gopro does too? It was less than $100 for...

    RealTime Industries’ Reflective Decals

    I washed my fairing with dawn to remove wax then wiped it with alcohol. I let the bike sit in the sun for a bit and installed but they peeled off. Probably just a fluke. I have read mostly great feedback from them but thats usually my luck.....

    Sad News About Big Sky

    I bought his book about a month and a half ago. He was helping me plan my trip so much I felt obligated to purchase it. He sent me extra material with it to help me plan. He offered me his cabin or to spend the night in his extra bed. One of the nicest guys ive spoken with to offer so much to a...
