That sounds pretty good. You might take a look at this place: SportRX.com I got a pair of sunglasses from them a couple of years ago...they have good prices and a great selection.

My first-hand experience with Gary at University Motors, Fargo ND, is that he offers the best prices around. He also charges only what it costs him to ship, which in your case should be pretty cheap (ND to Wisconsin). He doesn't do website ordering, but prefers email: [email protected] You...

When they receive your check, they will send you an invoice that includes the agreed upon price, your down payment, and how much you need to bring with you when you pick up the bike.

Not if you buy your OEM stuff from Gary McCoy, he's a good deal less than MSRP. Of course, he's probably got a great price on holeshots, too. Email him for a quote: [email protected]

Sorry to hear about your mishap, I'm glad you weren't injured. I crashed my FJR with moko's twice at low speeds like you described, once with a delrin slider and once with an aluminum one. The crashes were different: the one with the delrin slider was a low-side at about 15-20 mph; the one with...

No, I did not experience what you describe. I went for the grip puppies because my big hands always felt like they were pinching the small Yamaha grips, and I needed the extra diameter. The puppies helped me to relax my grip a good bit and the foam knocked out the vibes some, overall a great...

Did I miss something?

I thought that the CO numbers were set for each cylinder from the factory(implies NO "standard" setting?), and that any adjustment made was to be from the original setting? I know I have read that settings were different for each cylinder from the factory, and could be different from bike to...

congrats, smitty - that was quick! I'm glad I could play a small part. good luck on yours c2insa.

That IS a great deal, makes me envious with this insurance money burning a hole in my bank account. Too bad that moolah has to go somewheres else. Have you guys checked out Kelley Blue Book or NADA guides? For my area they were showing $10,000 more or less for a 2005 non-ABS FJR with 8000...

Someone better alert Gary McCoy to stock up if you guys are going to be racing in reverse! I see the potential for a lot of boogered up body parts.... :D

PM sent.

I have the instructions in PDF format and I'll gladly email them to anyone that wants them, just PM me and include your email address. I will also send them to anyone that wants to host the doc somewhere so all can see...

I think I might wait and see what they have to say before re-starting my claim with my insurance co. I do want them to know that I won't sign any releases until AFTER the bike is fully repaired and I am totally satisfied with the settlement. As far as what my insurance will do if I get them to...

I finally got an estimate done. Both Yamaha shops that I talked to were swamped with work and couldn't get to it for a while. I finally decided on the shop that I had the best feeling about after talking to the service department. The first one I went to brags about being a "5-star service...
