    Bill Mayer Saddle

    Which bike are they made for? Where do they bolt on to our FJR's? Are they better positioned than the Wild Bill pegs? Come on, give us the 4-1-1 and help a brother(s) out. Woody

    Front Fork Removal Questions

    Well, I got the forks off the bike yesterday, with all tupperware in place, and they are now on their way to GP Suspension. Everything went very smoothly, but I did find something that reminded me why I should never, never, never let the 'tards at the dealer work on my bike. Last fall, I...

    Front Fork Removal Questions

    Thanks for all the encouragement and validation of my assessment. I'm gonna try it with the tupperware in place and if I can't get a torque wrench in there I think I can get the torque pretty close by feel. I mean, hell, those bolts aren't very critical anyway, right? Adios, Woody

    Front Fork Removal Questions

    Yep, that's what I was thinking. The only reason I could see to remove the tupperware was to be able to torque the pinch bolts on the lower triple clamp when reassembling. Adios, Woody

    Put me down for one also. But, even looking at the chart I'm still confused. I guess it will become clear after I get in there and see what's up. mmm-hmmmm Woody

    800 miles on the clock and can't ride for a couple of months

    GA---Sorry too hear about the BP. I've had it twice myself - once on each side of my face - so I know what your dealing with. I used an eye patch over my bad eye and found that I was able to compensate for the lack of depth perception in about a week's time. Here's hoping for a speedy...

    Source for V-Strom handguards?

    You know what they say, "No matter how good looking they are, somebody, somewhere, is tired of their shit." I'm gonna sharpen my lawnmower blade now.

    Source for V-Strom handguards?

    I looked on their website and couldn't find the kit. Do you have a part number for it? Or do I just call them and tell 'em what I want?
