I took my wife's 11 year old heated pants and jacket liners into Gerbing in Tumwater a couple of days ago to get some wiring problems repaired. They were not able to repair the problems without complete dis-assembly of the two garments, so they replaced them with their brand new Micro-Wire...

Wondering if anyone on the forum has any experience with this particular horsepower mod. The idea is to insulate the air induction box, thus keeping the inside of the box cooler, thus making more power. This company, performanceandperfection.com focuses primarily on sport bikes, but when I...

Just got a video call on Skype from my wife. She was taking a nap after work, got woke up by some commotion out on the street behind our apartment patio. She went to investigate, and ended up watching the Portland police tazer then shoot to death a guy sitting in the passenger seat of a car...

Sitting here on the west slope of the Cascades, looking at 41 degrees, wet, windy, in MAY fer cripes sake. Snow at 1500 ft.? Bitch bitch bitch. Who do I see to get my money back?

It was the kind of ride motorcyclists day dream about. Imagine the perfect road with no traffic in perfect weather on the perfect motorcycle. Smooth winding pavement twisting and undulating through the forest alongside a sparkling river with high basalt rock formations, no slow poke cagers, or...

The foot is hard plastic. It's a farkle, but it doesn't sparkle.

I spent an afternoon a couple weeks ago rewiring my electronic farkles to a Fuzeblock. Today I found why I did it. I had wired my gps as a switched connection and decided I did not want it to have to reboot every time I stopped for something. So I just removed my seat, removed the Fuzeblock...

Got in on the group buy at GP suspension a few months ago. Rebuilt forks, new Ohlins shock with a really hefty spring for my fat self. Fly in the ointment was I still had on a half worn out set of Shinko's I was trying out. Finally finished wearing them out, got a new set of PR2's mounted...

I did a little searching around the site and didn't see anything on this exact subject. Has anyone on the forum ever taken a saddlebag apart and worked on that mechanism that moves the latching bar up and down on the back of the bag? Mine don't move so freely anymore, plus the gear mechanism...

I live in Oregon, but have lived in Washington and ride in Washington a lot. For several years now, I have been noting that WDOT, as opposed to ODOT, has been putting signs up warning motorcyclists of various types of road hazards esp. in construction zones. I really appreciate this extra...

I came across this old b&w snap of my long dead Grandfather sitting on a two stroke bike of unknown make. Pretty sure it was taken in the 70's. I have zoomed on the logo on the tank but can't make it out. Thanks for any help identifying this bike.

Check out the two distinct areas of deterioration on the INSIDE of the lens. There is a horizontal band of fine vertical cracks near the top, and another horizontal band of what looks to be pitting right about the middle. Right and left lens both have the same pattern. This is an 06 with 27k...

It's shiny and sparkly. It's a blind spot mirror and signal mirror in one. Really helps nearby drivers see my lane change intentions on the crowded freeway. I like it. Actually intended for autos. It is really bright at the angle it needs to be, less so from the drivers view. I mounted...

Been riding the bike regularly, recently had the 26k major service done, new YCCS clutch actuator installed. Started the bike, it ran for about one second, then shut down. Turned the key off and back on, no joy. All fuses ok. Original battery, on a battery tender. Now for the strangness...

Just picked up my 06 AE from Beaverton Yamaha in Oregon. Rode home in a downpour in stop and go traffic. I took it in because of the shift_26 error message I had been getting. Second time in for that problem. First time they just bled the clutch hydraulic line and soaked the clutch plates...

Made in Italy. How come the them Europeans get the good stuff first? I have seen these types of lap aprons on Harley's, in fact I have one for my Road King made by Langlitz in Portland. Not nearly as good as these, though. Or how about this quick on and off with velcro straps thingy...

Anyone aware of a source for a pre-assembled kit of Gen II tupperware fasteners? Or a list of said fasteners?

So I was messing around with the right hand mirror on my 06. I removed the flanged dome nut that holds the cupped spring washers under the pivot point, and the washers all fell out. I found them all, and when I was finished dinking around I put everything back together the way it came apart...

Lately I've been thinking more and more about the possibility of crashing. I have crashed twice before, but without life threatening injuries. Once in my late teens, once in my 40's, with broken ribs and clavicles. Now that I am in my mid 50's I am considering upgrading to the best...
