Since you have his mail, I would open a cel phone bill and see if there's any activity on it. If there is, I would call it.

So there you have it. Everyone has a favorite way of seating. The reality of it is that no one else can give you advice about what will work for you. The relationship between your butt and your seat is yours alone. One person's pleasure is another person's poison. When it comes to seating, the...

I believe it's called a Tinnerman nut. You can get them a Lowe's or Home Depot or your local hardwareologist.

MCL only makes one version of these lowering brackets and I have them on my 2016 so I would answer yes, they will fit all generations.

I didn't see any while I was there but the temperatures were below normal for most of the time.

We all spend money on ergonomic stuff for our bikes but you never know whether or not the money was well spent until you put it to the test. Last Tuesday I left Harrisburg NC on an official SS 1000 to an MTF Flower Sniffing event in Marquette Michigan. After a quick check with Google Maps I...

Ride Now is a national chain of motorcycle dealerships with a location in Concord NC near me. They are now sponsoring an weekly bike night at a local craft brewery. How stupid is that?

No good deed should go unpunished.

So, I have now been riding my 2016 FJR for a full year. Actually it was a year in April but whose counting. My other bike is a 2007 Gold Wing that I have put 97,000 miles on so far. I just turned over 13,000, (factory tires come off for a set of PR 4 GTs next week), on the FJR and it was a trip...

The Laam seat for me was the same as stock in the lower position. He can make a seat that lowers you some but if you ride long distances he will try to talk you out of it. You can't have comfort and a thinner seat both is his premise. Having said that, I first called Russell Day Long and as...

So you were concerned about running out of gas and ran some miles at 115 mph and used maximum acceleration a few times knowing there weren't going to be any services for the next 80+ miles? Really? Thanks for doing the research.

I have this one mounted in the cowl that goes over top of the battery and it works very well. https://www.amazon.com/MICTUNING-Digital-Voltmeter-Waterproof-Motorcycle/dp/B010HM43RQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1496778902&sr=8-6&keywords=marine+voltmeter

Have trailer, will travel. I also have way too many shop tools available. I hope you don't need me but call if you do. Fifty mile radius around Charlotte for the promise of a burger in the future a a hundred miles for the promice of a burger with fries. Hammer Down Ranch also has a shower and...

Oil threads seem to go on and on but it brings to mind a question. Has anyone ever heard of an engine failure due caused by the oil as long as the correct spec oil was used? I no one can cite a failure, what is all the debate about anyway. My oil goes 200,000 miles, your oil goes 200,000 miles, so?

I didn't mean to start a "thing" about the owner serviceability. I was just quoting from the owners manual page 7-35.
