Please repost this info on every motorcycle or car forum you can find. You can help stop this. We need folks to tell the federal government to get its fingers out of our gas. They are taking inputs for a very short time only and there is only a small window of opportunity for us to voice our...

I have had several requests from folks looking for the photos I had of the throttle pulley, so here they are. https://www.pbase.com/fredharmon/throttlepulley

Awhile back, I got upset over something silly, and left this forum. In retrospect, it was all of my own doing. I had some other stresses going on that caused me to over react. I would like to apologize to Bounce and all the admins and anyone else I upset by the way I acted. It is not like me to...

At the risk of getting flamed I am going to post what my personal experience is with these tires. Take it for what it is worth. Suffice it to say, I am not happy with the amount of grip the Michelins provide when pushed hard. I have a road near me that has some smooth tar sections in it where...

I have found some new brighter LED's for my brake light kit and should have them in later this week. This will increase the light output of the LED's from 6,000mcd to 8,000mcd. Contact me if you are interested in a kit. Price is still $107, which includes shipping. I still have a few circuit...

I am going to make one last batch of the Givi V46 brake light kits. Let me know if you want one. Once these are gone, I don't think I will be making any more of them, too labor intensive. $107 delivered

For those of you looking for a good top case, here are some photos of the new Givi V46 with the color matched lid, coupled with the E250 universal mount on the OHFJR rack and my lite kit installed. Personally, I think this is the hot set up for the bike, and not only provides more space than the...

I have experienced some problems with the Junk mail filter traping on the word Givi in the subject line of some of the emails I have both sent out and recieved. If you are trying to order a Givi brake light kit from me, and didn't get a response, try resending with a different subject line...

With the release of the new Concours based on the ZX14 this weekend, I will make a prediciton that this will be the end of PDP. When Big K has units sitting in a showroom that you can ride out on today, Yamaha is going to have a hard time finding buyers to put down money and wait 6 months...

Last night my bike fell over after I put it on the sidestand, and luckily I caught it just before it hit the ground and muscled it back upright. This is the second time the sidestand has tried to collapse on me, and though I am aware of the problem and try to make sure it is always positively...

Does anybody know why Yamaha put the battery forward and high in the bike? It just makes no sense to me as it looks like there is room under the seat for it. Has anyone moved the battery to under the seat? I am thinking of moving it to get more of the weight lower in the bike, but it appears...

I have designed and fabricated a circuit for installing LED lights in the Givi V46 trunk, and I am considering making some more of them. It took me about 8 hours just to make this one, plus another 20 or more to design it. I had to fabricate my own circuit card, so that added quite a bit of...

I have just finished an evaluation report of the Kriss turn signal cancel unit. You can read it here: https://www.angelridevideos.com/reviews

This article just confirms what I have found to be true. I drive 10 miles out of town to get gas without ethanol in it. One of my cars stalls and hesitates whenever I put ethanol in it and I litterally can not use it in that vehicle. https://www.motorcycleperf.com/tectip.htm

I was bored today (too hot to ride) so I went out the garage and made up some taillights for my new Givi out of some sample LEDs Lumex sent me. (Full photo gallery here: https://www.pbase.com/fredharmon/giviv46 ) They worked out pretty nice. I used a Jumbo 5000mcd from Radio Shack (groan)...

Well, it didn't go without a few bumps, but I got it done. A complete photo gallery of the project can be seen here: https://www.pbase.com/fredharmon/giviv46 Everything went smooth until I pulled out the grommets and put the bolts into the E250 and started to tighten them. The second bolt...

www.amazon.com has this great little Accutire digital gauge for $5.92 I have had one for a couple years now and I have found it to be extremely accurate. I have a $50 Weakon digital gage that has built in atmospheric and temperature sensors and compensates for outside air temp and pressure...

Here is a link to a pretty interesting map site that combines data from Google Earth as well as Nexrad Radar and TOPO maps with street and road names. Looks like it could be a real good resource. https://mapper.acme.com

I think I have narrowed down my replacement tires to two choices. Michelin Pilot Roads or the Avon ST45/46 combo. I am mainly looking for long life. Would like to hear folks opinions on both the Avons and Michelins. I have always liked Michelin tires and am leaning that way. I am a bit leary...
