    Gear Shift Indicator

    OK, I am looking for some advice on adding a gear indicator. I am constantly searching for 6th gear, and i am sick of thinking about the count in my head rather than enjoying the ride. I am looking at the Acumen DG8 ($140) or the Datatool DiGi ($80). Aside from the price can anyone tell me...

    Do you trust this reply?

    This is not true, there is no way to have the title on site if paying with cash. Even if you do it at the credit union they do not have the paper titles on hand. they are electronic and are issues when the lien is paid. I just went through this when buying a private sale car, and it took me...

    WTB MCL 6deg risers

    I tried the Heli risers and they are good for the height and pullback but the bars feel rotated too far towards me and my outer corner of my palm is sore after a fairly lengthy ride. If anyone wants to sell me their MCL 6 deg risers, share your experience with them vs helis, or trade for my...

    Is there an easy heat fix for the 05?

    I recently did all the heat fixes on my 05, and i am happy with the results. I thought the heat was such an issue before i fixed it, i would avoid riding altogether on hot days (85+). Before the fixes i would rate the heat on a scale of 10 (unbearably hot) to 1 (ideal comfort, heat not...

    +1 I could not have said it any better. If you are thinking about doing it, DO IT! I did the -1 revolution on the center, and its now perfect.

    Possible comvert

    I almost bought an RT over an FJR. I am glad i had the chance to test ride an FJR before i made that mistake in settling for an RT. Check out this POST. I wrote a lengthy response on why i chose the FJR. Riding 2up was a major deciding factor for us. The FJR will require more...

    Need Help with Barbarian Jumper

    I am still confused :unsure: According to these posts there are conflicting reports on which pins to jump for the 05. Is it the 25 to 29 or 27 to 29? I have been to Warchilds site where the procedure is outlined with pictures HERE. After reading it over and over it seems like it should be...

    1150RT to 06FJR ?

    I can only speak for the 05. Here was my purchase process. My first bike was a Honda Magna sport cruiser. I had it for 9 years. Sold it during a move, and switched to an Aprilia Futura sport touring bike. I absolutely love it riding solo, and made the mistake of buying it without test...
