    SOLD - US bike but imported into Canada!

    Hey Dave, I'm trying to sell my GSXR 1000! So far I've had no response? If and when I get this thing sold, I'll check back with you if you still have the 06 for sale. Cheers Mark Griffiths

    Honda model - XX Super Blackbird

    I owned a Blackbird in back in the day! I built this model of the bike and gave it to my son. Since then the model disappeared and I thought I would like to make another model of said bike? I just never got around to putting this model together? If anyone would like to "pay postage" from Canada...

    Robert Pirsig, Author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Passes Away at the Age of 88

    You've expressed my sentiment exactly! If I only had a million dollars? My family has to deal with a member who is struggling with mental health difficulties. There appears to be no end. I find it very hard to maintain a positive outlook! Thanks

    Thanks Dave! I just got home myself, from a short trip to Vancouver Island. Qualicum Beach is beautiful at this time of year! I'll take you up on your offer if I'm unable to source one myself. Thanks

    Garmin Zumo 550 repair parts

    Thanks for your response! The ebay pads look good but I still need the tool to remove the face plate? Does anyone know the specs on such an animal?

    dropped my new fjr!

    It happens! On my four corners trip back a few years, myself and partner on a Suzuki C90 decided to ride the Dragon! Being on the FJR I led and he followed. I passed a few slower than me bikes and ended up near the bottom where others stop and confer about how much fun they just had! High fives...

    Garmin Zumo 550 repair parts

    My 550 Zumo just lost one of the rubber push buttons off the left face front side, second from the bottom! Does anyone know of a source so I can replace? Also the screws are nothing I have in my tool box in order to remove so would need one of those as well? Just wondering! Thanks Mark

    I was dumb. Any pointers on a tire replacement in southern Utah or N. Arizona?

    I wouldn't let air out! That will get the tire hotter and could then de-laminate! I've seen that happen. I have had Sunday service in Flagstaff but that was a few years ago and can't remember the dealers name? Drive slow. Sorry I can't be more help.

    Are more expensive Motorcycle Helmets really any safer?

    https://www.southbayriders.com/forums/threads/152354/ This guy rides very well! If he has the most expensive helmet that money can buy so what! If he has an accident or falls off at speed he will peel off tremendous amounts of flesh? Infection may set in and kill him? Or not? His helmet won't...

    Left side case - $250.00

    I've sold my 2008 FJR. I was repairing this bag for possible future use! A friend who is a painter helped me to prepare and paint. I was supposed to wet sand and polish but never got around to it? I live in Canada so something to consider re shipping? Cheers Mark

    Windshield drive

    When my 08 was new the windshield used to chatter up and down? Not so it wouldn't operate, it just didn't move smoothly. Eventually it stopped chattering and I never did anything more than use it. Go figure?

    My green blinkers on my dash won't turn off

    Does the Hazard switch supersede the Turn Signal switch? I've just sold my 08 so can't go to the garage and try myself!

    How Would YOU Sell This Bike?

    Maybe donate it to a nearby school with a mechanics program? It would seem most of the forum members don't have the space, time, inclination or skill of a Grumpypoo to dismantle and reassemble such a complicated piece of machinery? I only dream of such skill!
