Here's a pic of my 07 1 day before I wrecked it. It had 127,000 miles and still was amazing. Now I have a 08 AE. It has about 30,000 miles , so I'm looking forward to at least 100,000 more smiles.

Anyone planning on camping this May? I don't know where or when, but thought I'd see if there's any interest. Any takers? Joe, Bob, Heidi, Scott,

I broke mine,and need another. PM me if you have one you want to sell. Thanks Art

I spent the better part of a day trying to figure out where to mount this thing. I want it to be upright so it doesn't collect water, and I wanted it to be where it could be heard the best. This is what I came up with. I know it will get wet, and it's blocking part of the radiator. I put the...

Hey Gang Thanks to input from fellow Forum members I have redesigned my Gen II fuse box bracket. It's one piece of 1/8" aluminum, mounts to existing fender bolts, and tips forward to access tail light bulbs. I have made 10 of these, and have 8 left for sale. I can make more if needed...

There has been a lot of discussion about the Gen II ground spiders, and ways of fixing, helping, bypassing etc. So instead of going over all that again here are 2 links back to the topic. Poll thread for bikes that have been affected, and discussion thread for talking about fixes. Let me say...

Although a little late, I'm recommending we use this thread for any further grounding spider "bench racing". The other thread was meant as a poll for those that have been affected and not as much for fixes. So if you have any failures then post Here on the Poll thread, and report the failure as...

I've noticed a lot of apparel is discontinued, and most of the dealers are selling the remaining stock really cheap. This is good and bad, because you can get some stuff cheap, if you can find it. I like the stuff they have discontinued and can't get certain things I like anymore :angry: ...

FYI my 07 needed timing chain tensioner I have had some Timing Chain noise this past summer which got worse at the end of the season. I took it to dealer so they could hear it and they said it sounded like chain noise, and it could be a bad tensioner. I have YES warranty, so I asked if they...

I was on my FJR & my friend was on his FZ. We were on the side of the road where Rt. 10 meets Rt. 8 when they went by. Rt.10 is a great road to ride :yahoo: and I do it often and I don't live far from it. So I'm just wondering if these 2 riders live nearby and if so do you want to get...

Hi Gang I went over the feeger 3 times with Meguiars Medallion paint cleaner then Meguiars Medallion wax (don't ask why 3 times) and it looks great. My question is why did the wax applicator turn a light shade of red ? <_< I thought these bikes were base coat clear coat ? If they are...

Read this post clicky if you're interested in the Collett BT headset. No affiliation, just passing on the info. A.C.

Hey Gang I've been looking for a communicator to talk to pillion and bike to bike, wireless. I found these Collett communicators and they look pretty nice. They are blue tooth so they Will work wireless with my Zumo 550 & phone. The only wires are from driver to pillion & from driver headset to...

Hey Gang I ordered a Dual Star grip kit and they recommended using there heat shrink tubing on left bar because the aluminum bar will soak up to much heat. They say it is only required on aluminum bar. Is it really needed ? If so, will I need to put a right grip on left side because of bigger...

Hi Gang I called BMW dealer to get sport grips (bee hive style) and they told me the left one is 10.00 but the right is 42.00 because it comes with the throttle tube. Is this what I have to buy ? Or will a left fit over throttle tube ? Are left & right same size ? Anyone know what part #s ? I...
