Great! I am happy it worked so well for you. I will actually have to postpone my Russel purchase to better times, need money for other expenses. But it is certainly in the plan.

Thanks, I don't have the "marbles" sound for sure, I do suspect I may have some of the "silverware" noise though. Not really prominent, but I think something is there. I wold love to be able to save the money and do the work myself, but it is just to much for my confidence levels. It sucks I...

Oh and if I didn't make myself clear, any of you mechanically inclined guys near by, who would want to make some money and take over the job, instead of dealership, I would be grateful! Genady

Ok, I am more confused on this one though, so CCT problem and "ticking" problem are two different problems? So what is the ticking when? I thought you may potentially have two reasons for it: 1. Seriously bad one - CCT with potential for you motor to explode! 2. Not so bad one, the exhaust...

Thanks everyone guys! Great info. I would certainly love to hear about any independent and capable mechanic in the area, cause I think the quote I have got is not reasonable. Will try some other places around... Cheers!

Hi, I got an '05 FJR recently with about 25K miles. Everything is good so far but it comes the time for a valve service. I talked to tech at local (San Jose Yamaha) dealer and was quoted 6 hours @ 85$ for the job plus parts. Comes to a pretty serious number, if you asking me! First is it...

Oh, I mentioned before, I got my order with Russel, date is June 7th.

I am an engineer! You know, the type - research, research and when re-check :) Learned it the hard way!

Actually price is about the same for all 3. (I am looking at Vinyl) Very minor difference, under 50$ I think.

Wow, may be I am just not hardcore enough, but 5 hours to the Russel and 6+ to Bill Mayers doesn't sound particularly close to me...

Yeah, it is not so far away, I may check if it would be an option. I don't think they are super accommodating for drive in appointments in the summer. Also about 5 hours trip on a stock seat doesn't sounds like a huge amount of fun to me :)

Hi I got Gen 1 '05 FJR and PO installed Helli Bar risers on it. Looks like they are just straight rise, no rotation. They are OK, but wrist position is a bit weird. Looks like D&D offers 6 and 10 degree risers. Can anyone chime in how they compare? Thanks!

Sorry what pattern is your seat, if you remember? I like the look of it.

Put my order with Russel today, production day is June 7, almost my birthday :) Looks like will have to spend 3 weeks or so in June with no bike (after I send them my stock seat), it sucks! Anyone in Bay Area, I could borrow a seat for few weeks by any chance? :) I will pay rental...

Hey all! What is your opinion on Russel vs Mayers (Ricky Mayers is it?) seats. Which one is better? Are these pretty comparable? Thanks!

Probably a good case for buying an iPad, I am sure it will fit nicely! :)

I will try to post some pictures, mine look nothing like the pictures you posted. Again I had a pair of R&G sliders and can directly compare them. T Rex is as good. As far as you get what you pay for... Toyota RAV will cost you about 35K+ euro in GB for instance - it must be way better then...

I am glad to hear what so many snobs are still around :) You are welcome to pay the ridiculous amounts for German/British products. You would be surprised, there is a metal sleeve inside the slider. As I said, it isn't the first one I have seen in my life. Ohh and by the way I forgot to...

I tried both skyway spacers and Rifle tuning block, I got from one of the members for half the money. Tuning block works best for me and makes a huge difference. Without it V Stream was creating a huge back-pressure when up. It works really well now I think, but I only had stock to compare it to

Hey, Just wanted to post my experience with a pair of T Rex sliders I got recently and it is very good! I have read a lot of concerns here on the forum and all the suggestions on much more expensive brands, but decided to give it a shot. I had some crappy sliders on my previous bike before and...
