My new used bike came with these installed with the baffles and and connector pipes. I put the stock pipes back on, even though the Del's were not too loud. I'm a stock pipe sort of guy. Anyway I'd like to sell them to someone who wants them. They came off a 2006 that only had 10K miles on it...

We hit 106 degrees last night during my ride home from work. I preparation I wore a 3/4 helmet that I have modified for such weather including several dangerous extra holes, some foam reconstruction vent channels, and improvised 'Arai like' visor vents. Now 106 isn't anything to write home...

OK, I couldn't help myself, the Federal Government offered to give me $4500 trade in for my ancient Crown Victoria (420k miles), calling it a clunker (grrrrrrrr!). The Vic just barely qualified as it has an adjusted EPA combined of 18mpg, and that was the best mpg a car could get to qualify. In...

My used bike that had been 'reconstructed' had forks from a newer bike so the 298mm rotors on the bike were too small, I need the 320's from 04' and on. I got a well worn pair of rotors from a forum member to try out the fix and it works, but I'd like to put a better pair on. I have a pair of...

I replaced the front brake disk pads yesterday at 29,000 miles. They still had life left but I had noticed that there was a scraping noise comming from the front brakes when I moved the bike around by push power. I had experienced this before on other bike and generally just changed the pads to...

I just got a new rear tire and did my normal break in thing with it. I realized no one ever told me the best way to do this and that what I do just seemed to make sense. I took the rural route to work so there are very few cars and I rode serpentines whenever possible trying to grind offt any...

Our Oregon weather is getting nice again, and though I didn't stop riding through the slop, I did manage to get fairly sloppy in my cornering techniques. Tackling some twisties yesterday, on the fun way back home from my rural commute, I remembered that I used to put some weight on the high side...

Bike Bandit at www.bikebandit.com has the Sparx helmets in the Shield design for about $48. I have one of these and while they are not perfect helmets they are a pretty good deal at that price. The fit intermediate oval heads, and in my case run about a size small so in my case the XXL fits...

Cycle gear has dunlop 220's on sale. 180-55-17 for $80 and 120-70-17 for $60. They gave me a $20 off on next purchase of $75 or more just for asking, so my new rear was only $60! No shipping they had them right in the store for pickup.

My front brake gets spongy, it still works just takes a bit more lever. So I put a clamp on the brake when the bike is parked that holds it on overnight, and then for the next month or so the brake is fine, no sponge, grabs right away. So, any idea what might be wrong causing this? And any...

I posted this before to the end of a discussion about a lower tank gas leak and no one responded. So, I'm trying here and any advice, or related experiences, would be appreciated. I' ve been fixing my own bikes for decades and consider it a point of either honor, or stupidity depending on the...

A warm and cloudy ride home along the back roads. My heart is open and all that sprit of low traffic place goes rolling through my chest like some working cold fusion experiment. Corners taken, not fast, but perfect, stately, weightless. I am nowhere but fully aware. My legs end at the gas...

Got some, thanks to the forum and spalkin! Thanks all The stuff I installed from home depot shows me I want both a rise and a pull back. Anyone got some for sale? I guess D&D or Heli both do this. Thanks. You can contact me directly at [email protected]

Sorry if this has been covered before, but the search returns too much, wow a lot of posts on this sucker! I want to make up my own toolkit because my used bike came without one. Any one know where there is a list of the contents? Thanks in advance!
