I happen to have the same bag(s) RossKean linked to, and they're perfect. Cost is very reasonable, easy to access all the contents, and absolutely waterproof. The smaller one doesn't block my mirror view, the larger one does somewhat. I just have to lean a little farther when checking the...

Easy, Greg, but for the love of God, WATCH the polarity!

That's what I have. It wasn't a "kit" as such, just bought them at the Clearwater lights shop nearby. Glenn recommended that setup because he said the Erica had a wider pattern and the Krista sent more light down range in a "pencil beam." It looks fine from the front. I've had one or two...

It's been said (by Ross Kean) already, but I'll second it anyway. When you head out, have a NEW tube of whatever glue you use. Despite the instructions I've seen on various string products, smear the string with glue too. I use E6000 and it has done the job just fine, but when you get home...

I'm with Bluesman (it's been a while, Simon) about changing out the shields, Had the big V-Stream a while ago and liked it very much for cold and rain, but not at all in the heat. It was summer when a few of us met up with a rider from Australia who was passing through with his wife and...

The way things have been lately, I'd say you were lucky Twisted Throttle has stayed in business for ten years.  So how is the R&G?  Comparable to Dave's?

Don't forget, lots of us had to slightly modify the OEM kickstand foot with an angle grinder to flatten it out or take something off the edge to fit Dave's Bigfoot.  Mine has worked like a charm for years ever since.  (Also added JB Weld to the inside of the Bigfoot and Loctite-ed the screws to...

I have a charcoal cannister?

I tried a few of them on my Gen I's.  The Throttlmeister works well, but they're much more complicated and expensive than the others.  I don't really remember the brand names I tried, but they fall into categories.  One kind just holds on the right grip and swings into position when you want to...

Every make and model has its supporters, you'd have a hard time finding a majority to agree on any single one, but with that said, I'd jump on Zilla's deal--the CB will be a definite upgrade from stock, at least for wind protection, and it's a bargain at that price.  And since you both live in...

When you shampoo, you guys all "lather, rinse, repeat."  Right? 

Just to poke the bear, I'll toss out the thought that the very easiest bag to get out of the way for a fill up or to move away from the horn button is the magnetic kind.  The one I have now is from Roadgear, but there are many makers and styles.  What I think is important are getting the size...

I posted about this not too long ago, but before you joined I guess.  I LOVE my Speedway Motorcycle Shelter.  I've had it for maybe 8 years, had to replace the fabric cover due to it's just breaking down in the sun, but they sell the new covers for maybe half of the original price and it just...

Discussed so many times.  Go to a locksmith.  They have blanks and can make a fistful of duplicates for what a dealer would charge you for one.\ (Obvious addendum: ride the bike to the locksmith.  Take the new key outside and make sure it works FIRST.)

I posted about this or a very similar product here a couple years ago.  I thought then and still do that it would be a very useful thing.  Got the kind of replies you already got here.  I'd love to try one, just not $59 worth. Ever get behind a shiny tanker truck and just kind of watch yourself...

You might be the tightest wad on the forum, David.  Those old gloves were about as protective as a pair of wool mittens for the last 10,000 miles you wore them.  But I agree with you on one thing, at least.  Damn that Old Michael.  😝

If you mean Olympia--guessing you do--the sizing is whatever you find right in other brands, in my experience. They don't seem to run large or small. I have an older Airglide set, pants and jacket. My favorite gear for most weather. The jacket liner is comfortable and looks good alone off...

Same question I have for every new gadget-y helmet I see (rear-view, built-in lights, even one where the outer surface, or "skin" on the outside of the helmet could slide over the shell of the helmet, theoretically reducing impact shock (??) ) The question is: is the helmet worth a poop? Is it...

I have a great cover and I'd recommend it to anybody. It's a Speedway Shelter, a portable and retractable tent that I've had in my driveway for at least seven or eight years. They had a booth at the big traveling bike show that they used to have in the S.F. Bay Area, and still do have around...

My tool-buying advice is buy a specific tool when you need it, and get a good one. Doesn't necessarily apply to things that come in sets, like bits and sockets, but still get good ones.
