    Iron Butt at WFO?

    Will there be qualified witnesses on site? I'm considering a BBG on the way to WFO and would like to be certain of an appropriate welcome. Tinker

    10% discount on Russell seats

    Ok. I'm tempted, seriously tempted. Leather or vinyl? My current is leather and I'm content with it. Will vinyl last longer, breath better, stick better? Advantages vs. disadvantages. Opinions?

    E Z Pass

    I removed the hard box from the fas-pass. Much smaller package to conceal. It is sealed in a plastic bag an velcroed inside the front fairing, above the access panel. Makes replacing the batterey easy too..

    In search of quiet air

    Yes I have. Not worth the postage let alone the purchase. I installed on both my Arai Signet GT and on the Caberg Justisimo. No change at all, well mabe a little noiser at 80+. No reduction in noise in my case.

    Iggy's Occasional NAFO Report

    Iggy: Get hold of MadMike2 if you can and tell him Tinker is in route, departing Berkeley 18:45. He obviously needs a little help keeping Radman and Odot on the civil side of the keyboard. :rolleyes: :D ETE 16 to 18 Hrs. Tinker

    Shiny Tires?

    Ok, go easy on this cagerr. Most auto care brand names offer products for this. decoratice affect. Mothers, Armourall, Amsoil are good names with good lines. Raising a question like this on a MC forum will get you iatterntion than you likely want. Att least you put in a relevant grouping...

    08 ignition switch failure

    Hopefully it isn't relevent but ...... On my '03 that behavior was a pre-cursor to the tumbler/lock bits failing. The lock switch assembly should not stop at any position except Lock, Off or Run. Keep an eye on it. Tinker

    Iggy's Occasional NAFO Report

    OK, so enough with this crashing stuff! I can't even leave Berkeley until tomorrow evening (Fri). At this rate there won't be anyone to say hello-goodbye to buy the time I get there. What is the count, inventory, injury/damage report to date? Tinker

    Routing auxiliary power to the rear on an '07 A

    Lots of good solutions offered. I have an '03. I'm lazy. I run the Autocom from the tail light supply, fused in line, under the tail fairing. Works fine for me. I don't know if it would be different with an ABS system. Tinker

    Tinker ( Tim Weltz) nees a favor

    Hey folks. I may not be able to make it to WFO. Bike problems and parts delays. I would appreciate it if MadMike2 or another rider from the SF Bay region would give me a ring. Having spent the $ I'd really like to get the swag. tia Tim 510-774-4155
