    Helmets

    I am using the Bell Star that I bought on closeout with a transitions face shield. Very nice helmet. I love the fit and finish. Comfortable, great airflow and it looks spectacular. The transitions face shield was pricey at $119, but after having it for a year now, I must say it is probably...

    Question about Helibar triple clamp

    It made my ride more comfortable. I can't say much about the vibration as I never had a big problem with it in the first place. The pain between my shoulder blades was greatly reduced and generally just a more comfortable position. I would do it again without question.

    Helmet talk....what are you wearing??

    I have been using a Nolan n102 for the last 2 years. Not bad, but got tired of air blowing in the opening cracks in the cold, helmet fogged up in an instant, chin bar was too close to my face, venting was marginal in the heat, NCom cover kept popping out, although Nolan replaced it for free one...

    Stebel Nautilus + One of the original horns

    I finally got mine installed. I did have to seperate the horn and the compressor. I put the compressor under the heat control blank off plate. I fabbed up a bracket and used two clamps and it worked fine. I ran a hose across the top of the radiator to the horn which I mounted on the...

    Re-Introducing Myself

    Congrats! I love my 06. I would seriously consider something other then the factory trunk and backrest, I mean that is, if you like your wife to be comfortable. I bought mine when I bought my bike. They did not have it in stock so they shipped it to me. I put it on, my wife and I sat on the...

    Stebel Nautilus + One of the original horns

    If I were you I would check the horn and your brake lines. I just spent the last 2 days trying to get mine installed and could find no way to get mine mounted in the center as you have and not have the brake lines hit the horn when loaded and in a turn. A test ride showed the brake lines...

    How much safety do you really give up with a Modular

    My point is that there are many who were wearing the "right protection" and it did not save them, just like there were some wearing the wrong protection in some peoples eyes, and they were protected. You have a quote in your signature that basically says just that. People will make their...

    How much safety do you really give up with a Modular

    I use the Nolan 102 and owned a KBC FFR before that and a full face Bell before that.... I had no fear of any of them. Everyone has some fear that others do not share, spiders, snakes, skydiving, riding motorcycles... One person commented about hitting a solid object at speed. In the right...

    Looking for new feedback -- Gen II Heli Triple Clamp

    When I bought mine last year they did not recommend trying to use the both due to the hose length, obviously that has changed since last year.

    Throttle Tamer?

    I installed the G2. It helped. I then installed grip puppies and rode for the last 8 months with them on. I had noticed it was harder to be smooth on the throttle. I just put on a set of BMW Sport Touring Grips and wow that seemed to be the final piece of the puzzle for me. The Grip Puppies...

    SEAT QUESTION

    Another happy Bill Mayer customer here. It took a couple thousand miles for the seat to become a "custom fit", but now it is a perfect fit. Any custom seat will seem a bit hard at first, but once it gets broken in it is very very nice.

    Yama Gel Seat.

    I rode my 06 home 7 hours and felt pretty good. My rear hurt a little, but not bad for the time in the seat. I bought the gel seat and I was miserable after 2 hours. Save the time, money and headache and go for a Bill Mayer, Russell....take your pick, you won't be sorry. I bought a Bill...

    Triple clamp from Heli

    Installed mine today. It is easy to see why it makes such a big difference after comparing the 2 side by side. I had 2 very short rides just to get a quick idea of how it feels and so far I like the difference. I am taking about a 4 1/2 hour ride tomorrow, that will be the true test. Pros -...

    Wich would be the best

    I bought my 06 FJR on May 1st. I immediately bought the Yamaha Gel seat. I took a 3 hour ride (1.5 hours each way), my butt hurt for 2 days. I immediately sent my stock seat pan off to Bill Mayer, had it back in no time. They received the seat, did my seat and sent it out the next day! I...

    Question for KC area members

    I've seen Black 08's at Honda Yamaha North and at the Yamaha dealer in Lawrence. I was not too impressed with the Lawrence dealership. Honda Yamaha North had a used 05 as well.
