    Airhawk vs airhawk 2

    it will take a few rides for you to get the right air pressure in the thing and also to get used to the slight movement you are feeling with it now. run your favorite route, stopping a few times to play with the air pressure. i've noticed in the cooler months i have to add a slight more air...

    Heated grips

    christmas last year i bought an oem set for my '05 from an ebay vendor. not the plug and play the gen2's have so it took me a few hours to install. warm hands and fingers makes a big difference, they are my favorite cool weather upgrade. cadman

    Driver Backrest

    i have one on my '05. i do find comfort using it on long runs, and i like the fact that i can quickly adjust the angle of the backrest. for me, it was a bear to install! the hole in the tang that is drilled for a support screw is way off, by i'd say a strong 3/16". i was able to use a small...

    NASCAR vs AMA racing

    DeSalvo's Ducati team used the rules to their advantage. there may be a rule admended because of it, but it was perfectly leagal. every other team did something besides swap out an engine, because they didn't need to. those last 15 laps were the best racing i've seen in a very long time. cadman

    backrest

    my question is, are you wanting a backrest for the driver or passenger? for the passenger there are several options. as pointed out by Purveyor of Crooked Facts, Garauld creats a thing of beauty. yamaha, givi, shad topboxes can be purchased and a pad added. sargent seats makes one too but you...

    Garmin Zumo 550 problem.

    it takes forever because of the music on your SD card. i read somewhere you need to limit the number of songs in each created music folder. i've taken all of my music off of the Zumo and play tunes thru my phone. Zumo start up time is mere seconds with out the music. YMMV cadman
