    Ugly noise this morning upon starting

    My 04 has 60,000 miles on it. So ... when I started the the bike up this morning, it started but with a fairly significant "metal on metal" kind of clanking during idle. Shut it down immediately. It took me back and forth to work the previous day with no issue. Uses a little oil (1/2 qt per...

    Russell seat cover use

    At the risk of alerting the "It's already been asked" police, I could use some help with an okie head-scratcher- It isn't readily apparent to me as to how the Russell Day-Long seat cover is supposed to cover the seat. It ends up looking like an an oddly shaped shower cap perched atop my seat...
