    Moving back to Minnesota

    So I guess it's internet official now... My wife and I are moving back to Minnesota after a 7-year stint in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Job transfer, good situation, professionally speaking. A lot has happened in the time we have lived here, motorcycle-wise. Radman has passed, and he came down here...

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank fuel pump or not

    I've been using gravity only with my TAT since installed several years ago. 5/16 line, with Parker coupler inline, and a CNC keyless aftermarket vented fill cap. As stated above, the initial transfer rate with full aux and near-empty main is quick at first, then slows as the main tank begins...

    Split: Dust Seals or Bushing to Change Fork Oil?

    "Need" anything else? No, unless it's leaking or long in the tooth, mileage-wise. The bushings will show their age if you remove them and look--the Teflon wears through to the bronze itself after enough miles. They are considered a wear item. And, if you take a look at the bushings, the...

    So nice to see how little all the safety gear slowed him down!

    Distance Riding Improvements?

    I put some bold emphasis for the part of your story that resonated with me... Riding with a group of others that require numerous stops during a 300 mile ride in 90 degree heat makes me exhausted just thinking about it. Frequent stops in hot weather for the needs of other riders makes a decent...

    10 Gallon Frankentank on Gen3--will it fit? Yes!

    It is my understanding that this particular tank was made with a Gen2 in mind. That's why we got so curious and tried it on a Gen3. Shane

    10 Gallon Frankentank on Gen3--will it fit? Yes!

    Cool, glad the tech stuff is cooperating now... Yeah, the 15 gallon thing is only because Corey already has a TAT going on, and that was the test fit mule of the day...probably wouldn't be running both on any official level. Well, it's my understanding that that particular one is $1,300 as-is...

    10 Gallon Frankentank on Gen3--will it fit? Yes!

    The tank is not mine, but is spoken-for as of now for a customer of his. I remember that risers were mentioned as mandatory for these tanks. If you want one, I would recommend getting on his wait list now--- Shane
