    Side Case Rubber Mounts

    I have a new set of bags that were in the box. The rubber pieces were in the bottom of one of the boxes. 2 pieces in a Yamaha parts bag, in one of the boxes. 5VS-W9753-00 is on the bag. It's marked as 1 PC but there are 2 in there.

    What would you do- random overheat

    If both fans are working, thermostat would be first guess, temperature sensor (easy to replace under tank) would be next if previous 2 don’t resolve it. Sounds like a thermostat to me.

    8 hours in the saddle ?

    Since it's your first time for that, it's pretty simple, follow SLK50's advice, and I'd add that you just need to break it up some. Explain to your buddy it's your first long ride. Stop every hour or so, get off the bike, and walk around for a few minutes. The worst thing. You only need to be...

    Quin - A Smarter Helmet?

    I'm with you. If my Sena goes out, I can unclip it and send it back and still ride. If the electronics go out on the helmet, I can't ride until my helmet comes back. It's not like it's got a modular electronic set in it that can be swapped in and out if something stops working (which it will for...

    Paint vs Wrap?

    Something like the saddle bags would be one of the harder places to start. You would probably need 2 people and a heat gun for those. Hold the sheet out flat and pull it tight, then heat the sheet up. Once you heat it up, then go down over the bag and pull the corners out as you go down and...

    Paint vs Wrap?

    Barb, the good quality materials are made to last. 3M makes some top tier products if you want something printed. If you want something color changed, then it's not as durable. Typically, with printed vinyl (graphics), they are laminated with a clear, so it's got some protection. The old color...

    Need 2013-2016 Nose Cowl frame (Stay).

    There's one at a salvage yard in Florida. I believe they have a number of the parts listed on ebay. Some of the parts were high, some were reasonable.

    Hourly rates at dealer

    Don't misunderstand me, I'm fine with paying $100 per hour. I'm also fine with charging $100 per hour. You are 100% right, and I agree totally, people don't realize how much it costs to rent a place, insurance, taxes, and all the other things just to keep the lights on. It's not cheap to run a...

    Hourly rates at dealer

    I don't mind paying someone $100 per hour for their skill and talents. Just as long as when they use my services, they don't mind paying me $100 per hour for my skills and services.

    Windshield bolts: scary ride yesterday

    Didn't a FJR rider have his windshield fly off while riding in the Iron Butt last year? Seems like I remember it being reported and he was looking for help on the road.

    Klim Adventure Rally Jacket - New Without Tags ***PRICE REDUCED***

    I agree, the issue it with the small size, but someone out there has to have a wife or mistress that's a small ;)

    Klim Adventure Rally Jacket - New Without Tags ***PRICE REDUCED***

    I’m surprised that selling this has been so difficult. I’m a new Klim owner and without a question, it’s the best jacket I’ve ever seen. The functionality is superior to anything else I’ve ever owned or seen. It’s the most comfortable jacket I’ve ever worn. I flat out love my Klim jacket. If I...

    Fastest Production Motorcycle

    It is a MOTORCYCLE. An actual Motorcycle. I think what you were trying to do is imply it doesn't have a motor, so it's not a Motorcycle. However, motorcycles run on Engines, not motors, so technically, it's the current terminology that's wrong. It should be an Enginecycle to be technically...

    "I want you to enjoy your bike."

    You can, my Friend, you can. I have lost family members with me all the time. Talk to them when I find spots I know they'd love. Give it a try. You might be surprised at how it turns out. I get a lot of peace and comfort knowing my lost loved ones are there in those special moments.

    Mag group files For Chapter 11

    Well that's not reassuring. Because most success stories begin with "We were broke until a hedge fund group saved us, turned our company around, and now we're making more money than we can count", right? Yeah, I don't ever remember reading that on a success story either

    "I want you to enjoy your bike."

    This is my first post in this thread. I should have posted earlier for sure, but I never know what to say in times like these, and I'm not sure my fumbling for words is much comfort for such a terrible event. I don't know you, so I could be missing the mark completely here. If so, then I...

    Mag group files For Chapter 11

    Ever wonder how a company gets $300 million in debt without a lot of people driving the bus off the cliff being fired along the way? I can't imagine running a large company and having people reporting to me that put things in place to lose 100's of millions of dollars, and still calling a staff...

    See For Yourself

    If we all liked the same things, the world would be a boring place. Different strokes for different folks.
