    What to do with Stock Exhaust after upgrade?

    I just upgraded my stock pipes with Vance & Hines slip ons. Now I have these two stock cans laying around and am trying to figure out what to do with them. There are tons of stock mufflers on eBay for cheap. Is it worth my time trying to sell them? Could I get some money by taking them to...

    1st Track Day Advice

    Hey guys, I just signed up for my first ever track day in April. I will be riding my FJR and using this as a test to see if regular track days are for me (and if they are I will be buying a literbike for the track). I would like to solicit some advice from people who know. Question 1: I will...

    New Orleans Powersports & Yamaha Customer Service

    Yamaha Customer Service has now told me that this is an issue between myself and New Orleans Powersports and there is nothing they are going to do. Evidently it doesn't take much to remain a Yamaha dealer.

    OEM or EMGO?

    You do get what you pay for. A friend of mine with an FZ1 bought a replacement EMGO mirror and the lens rattled at speed making the image very blurry and hard to discern. The EMGO mirrors also do not fold like the OEM mirrors do. Chris

    The Secret SV-650/1000 Suzuki Owners Society

    Good luck on finding a tank for a Gen 1 that isn't rusted. I've been looking for a used one for a while now. Your bike is also getting to that age where all of it's hoses need to be replaced...so be sure to inspect those as well. One thing I love about the SV is how easy it is to raise and...

    The Secret SV-650/1000 Suzuki Owners Society

    I took a few pictures of both of my bikes outside my house yesterday. The SV650 is a 2001 with 18,000 miles on it. She was my daily rider for years, until I got the FJR and got accustomed to a little more comfort (plus the bags make the daily rider a lot more versatile). I am thinking about...

    Spencer Motorcycle Custom Seats for Sale

    I'll try to post some pictures today. I'm still pretty new to the board and I do a lot more buying than selling, so i am still feeling my way around my first sale items. As for the seats, they were internally modified and had the stock seat cover re-used, so they still look stock. Both are in...

    Newest Aft defense system installed

    I absolutely loved reading this entire thread. This is a genius idea...I've always wanted a James Bond defensive system (minus the ejection seat...I think that all bikes come with one of those). Sheer genius...has the aft defensive system ever been deployed? chris

    LD ride advice(leaving tomorrow)

    I have the hardest time steering clear of the Waffle House while I'm doing a LD ride. I'm not allowed to eat this delicious junk at home, so what better time to do it than when on a solo ride across country. I generally pay for this 1-3 hours later. Chris
