Dave: Great service. Unwrapped them just now. My wife asked, "Wait. Those go under the hood?" Does seem a shame. Thanks

Dave: Just PayPal'd you for a set. Looking forward to the install.

Based on this excellent thread, I began the work to change out the seals and bushings in my 2007. After 33,000 miles, both fork had begun to weep and how better to spend a rainy, cold weekend in the Middle Atlantic. The fuid was filthy. On getting the damper assemblies out, my first thought...

Brodie: Please add me to your list. No rush. My spyders look new, but I'll be pleased to install your harness during my forthcoming now-how-did-this-go-back-together maintenance period. And congratulations on the recent milestone of going back to work. Thanks

It's the blue wire.

Whoa. Nice stats. I have had Z6's on the bike since I bought it new 15,000 miles ago. I see no tread wear indicators, and they still are sticky. And no, they never had tread in the middle. My experience will lead me to buy them again when the current set goes the way of all things.

Moved the bars all the way to the rear ("all the way" sounding a lot farther than it really is) shortly after I got the bike and have had zero repercussions. I had no numbness before the move and had had none since. Just allows a bit more of an upright posture, which was a major reason for...

I can recommend the Givi E52 and its mount from Premiere Cycle. My sole caveat is to avoid the Givi brake light package; the connectors are, shall we say, "non-robust" (I had several and was continually kludging connectors from ball point pen springs). A better alternative, if additional...

I have experienced 3.5K+ rpm surging both mild and severe (07A 13K miles) on two occasions. In the first case, characterized by severe surging, the problem simply disappeared after four days with no intervention. Another of life's mysteries. In the meanwhile, I installed a PCIII and ran the...

Olympia Phantom One-Piece in Neon Yellow. Broke it out today for the first time this season. Temps in the DC area were just rising above freezing and I was just a touch nippy without the liner. Plus, you can be seen from outer space. With the liner in place, I have ridden for several hours...

I take it then, y'all guys who have made the install, that the Givi-supplied connectors are OBE'd by the Admore harness? That will be a relief; I have been through two mounting plate connectors in just about a year with the E52 topcase. I rarely remove the topcase from the bike, so the...

Always on. Considerable reflective material on the rear of the bags for night commuting. With the Givi top case with brake light, I am pretty brightly lit.

My 2007 A began to exhibit symptoms of ignition switch failure at about 8000 miles and on a fine morning shortly thereafter, as I started off on my daily commute, it failed altogether. No juice. So, in one more triumph of hope over experience, I had the bike towed to the dealer I bought it...

1. 2007 2. About 8,600 miles. 3. Failed on attempting to start bike in morning. Had been acting up intermittently over the previous two weeks. Switch would close only at certain very touchy points in between normal off and on positions. Finally, it gave up entirely and I had to have the...

A very talented mechanic of my aquaintance has used the economy-model Motion Pro for as long as I've known him and his bikes have always purred happily despite the low price tag. On the other hand, he has been known to spend $200 on a wine bottle opener. If I remember correctly, the...

Seem to be two threads going regarding the Corbin seat. Purely a matter of morphology. Early on, I replaced stock with the Corbin heated seat. Have spents hours and hours at a time in it and it never occurs to me that the seat is there. The seat, once broken in, is also significantly lower than...

Purely a matter of morphology. Early on, I replaced stock with the Corbin heated seat. Have spents hours and hours at a time in it and it never occurs to me that the seat is there. The seat, once broken in, is also significantly lower than stock (by about 1.25 to 1.5 inches) which was very...

The technique of adding slack to the ignition switch harness did not work for me. The ignition switch on my 2007 (new in July, 8500 miles) failed on startup this morning and the bike has been towed. I will report the particulars to the ignition switch failure thread once the dealership has...

I have the Corbin heated saddle. Front only. Much more comfortable than stock. Heat is a real plus during winter commuting when the weather is in the teens around Our Nation's Capital. The saddle is lower than stock, which was a discriminator for me. But I did have some problems mounting...
