I was the blue '12 pulled over on Main St. (OH-260 & OH-7). I saw two FJRs (at least one Gen III - I barely saw the first rider) and a Harley (Andy?). I'd have turned back and followed you but I was bingo fuel to Marietta and ready to park it and have a beer. In hind sight I'm glad - we got...

After replacing seals on my left front (non-linked) caliper I've still got sponginess at the hand lever (GenII w/LBS & ABS). Here's what I've tried so far: MityVac'd fluid out the bottom bleeder. After the second bottle, I just started reusing the same clear fluid. I've put that same bottle...

I found this quite disturbing. https://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/20...al_estimat.html Police officer's visual estimate of speed is enough for a conviction, Ohio Supreme Court rules By Reginald Fields, The Plain Dealer June 02, 2010, 11:03AM Updated at 6:30 p.m. COLUMBUS, Ohio – A...

I just finished up a set of Angels and had a little surprise. They were getting long (short?) in the tooth so I had my eye on them. Last night I changed final drive oil as it was due and had some weeping. This morning I took a short ride and checked for leaks. I also checked both tires...

Last summer I posted some pictures of my Motoport Hi-Viz jacket that suffered from extreme fading (thread). I finally got around to dyeing it after reading a post from another forum. I thought I'd post some before and after shots (click on thumbnails for larger images): I ordered the dye from...

Seems odd that there isn't already a vendor entry for WynPro so let's fix that: I purchased PAIR cover plates from Dave (08FJR4ME). They were shipped promptly (and arrived the same day as my new CCT - not sure how he managed that ). They are top quality, fit like a glove, came with useful...

I'm wondering if anyone other than myself (and FatNakedGuy - could this be a Utah thing?) has experienced extreme fading of their Cycleport (Motoport) gear. Like so many others I love the Ultra II with it's Keprotec material and excellent breathability but I'm wondering if there's any way to...

A few weeks ago I added Stabil when I gassed up my VFR since I wasn't sure how much longer I could ride till snow covered the roads (I do this every year). The Viffer has had a bit of a "gas fragrance" the last few years but since it's a '94 I figured that was par for the course. After the...

I was on a cross country trip and had a tire shipped to a friend on Eastern Long Island. I called East End Motorsports and they said they would only mount it if it was supplied by "Drag Specialties" or one other that I can't remember (which mine was). This was "for my safety" since there is...

I think Yamaha had a bad day yesterday but you can judge for yourselves. I live in Salt Lake and didn't register for WFO (long story) but I did venture up to Park City to see a vendor and scout out some farkles. I met some terrific folks from Colorado and Wyoming and joined them for a ride up...

Has anyone had experience with fumoto (or any other brand of) oil pan valves? Also, if someone happens to know the threading for an '06 drain bolt I'd sure appreciate it (12mm x 1.5?). Next oil change I thought I might give one a try. Thanks

I've been running without the bags lately and enjoying some extra "sportiness". Naturally I got sick of hauling my helmet with me everywhere I went so I looked at FJReady, Headude and Lester from Tampa's posts. I picked up a short (20") bicycle seat cable at REI for about $5 and finally...

Much of this has been covered before but I thought I would summarize/consolidate what I've learned about heated grips over the last few months. I'm on my 3rd solution and I can hopefully shed some light for others looking to keep their mitts toasty through the winter. I started with BigBikes...

I installed BigBikes heated grips according to NovaFlyer's excellent write-up just after I bought my '06 and have used them for about a month now. They just don't get hot enough (I'm comparing them to Kimpex heaters I've had on my VFR for about 8 years). On a 50 degree day I can barely feel...
