    Hard or Soft option?

    Recall service + Tires

    I took my bike in today for the recall service. I needed new tires and ordered P3s. 3 hours later the dealer called and said it is DONE. No harness replacement and no burnt spiders, so looks good. This bike is new to me and has never been quite right in the handling. The tires were the originals...

    Which (Cee Bailey) windshield to buy?

    Please consider RIFLE. I installed a +5 / +4 yesterday. I now have a new bike. The RIFLE is right on target for your needs. I have spent $thousands of $$$ trying shields on many bikes. The only true satisfaction has been the RIFLE and the angle concept. It was the only shield that worked for me...

    Alright Folks, I did not mean to brag or BS. NTP. I started riding mini bikes when I was 9 yrs old , dirt bikes and swiped bikes on the road at 13.

    Reply on the seat thing, I set the front into the high position then set the rear portion , little tab thing into the lower rear pulling back slightly, checked the base and seems to set fine. There is a small gap at the tank seat nose and a bit of buzz in the seat at 4/4.5 k rpm. Kind of feels...
