    Cortech by Tour Master GX Air Series 2 Jacket

    I had the original but I am not sure that would make a difference. You seen the leather slides and the fabric grabs. The falure happened at the stitching between the leather and the fabric. Tore the whole back of the shoulder out. Again luckily it was a short slide and didnt cause any real...

    Cortech by Tour Master GX Air Series 2 Jacket

    I wrecked the GX Air on my FZ1 at 25mph. The leather held up well but the fabric seperated from the leather. Luckily the skid was short or I would have gotten rash. I had the jacket from 25F up to 110F and it did very well over all but after that last crash the protective quality of the fabric...

    Power Commander V

    All you PCV folks do you also have autotune or are you just running the PCV?

    Power Commander V

    FiveG are you also going with the Autotune O2 sensor? I have the same issues with the same year. I have a PCIII and it has not solved the issue. I will be curious to see if the PCV solves the issue.

    What are your best ways to improve visibility?

    See GunMD post. Everytime I ride people talk about the jacket. Even just riding down the road at times people slow down, I guess they think Im a cop or safety crew of some sort. The Olympia Hi Viz can be seen for a long way. Just ask the people that were on the big bear ride this last weekend.

    Givi E52 and brake light kit

    +2 for Admorelight kit. I believe its the only light kit that does both the brake and turn signals. Ive had mine for nearly a year and I love it. Easy to install and works as advertised.

    Motorcycle Accidents and Riding gear

    Im sorry its the New River Bridge. You are right the Gauley river is just down the road. Suppose to be the second most technical river in the US and the 5th most technical in the world. New River was rather tame. This is the time of year when the open the dam isnt it? CTFJR you are correct that...

    Motorcycle Accidents and Riding gear

    CTFJR, If I took that attitude then life would really be boring. Ive been blown up and dodged bullets, had parachutes fail on me. Ive come within inches of the mouth of a 12'+ tiger shark. Ive crashed motorcycles and cars. Ive surfed the North Shore of Hawaii in conditions way bigger than I...

    Motorcycle Accidents and Riding gear

    What I know I know from experience. First bike, 1987 FZR. In my mind it was the cats ass. Fast and fun for a 19 year old Marine temporarly stationed at 29 Palms. My first real bike. Coming back from weekend liberty in LA at night I enter an S turn just outside the main gate to the base. 35 MPH...

    Possible drawback to PR2's?

    Jeff seems to be on track with this except for one small deviation. The center does seem to be getting harder with more wear and heat cycling, but the shoulders seem to be getting better with wear and heat cycling. Under hard braking on asphault, the ABS seems to be doing a lot more work and I...

    Front RoadSmart tire

    5800 and not at the wear bars is very good. At 4980 both the front and rear were smooth about 1 inch wide down the middle. The second set made it to 5075 to have the same results. You are actually getting good results if you can make 6K out of a set.

    Possible drawback to PR2's?

    I just had to throw my 2 cents in on this one. After I went through 10,000 and the nasty cupping BT020 I went to road smarts. Went through 2 sets. Both sets got 5K front and back wore equally. Now I am on Pilot Road 2. I have a road that I brake test on. I dont know the exact footage but at...

    Installed G2 with delrin and breakaway cruise

    That thing was the biggest PITA I have ever had the misfortune to come across. You guys must have put on and teken off about a dozen or more times. Before you forget you might want to write down the secret to putting that thing on for those poor souls that decide to follow in your footsteps...

    Question about Motovation Slider quality

    I also have Motovation sliders and they have done their job well. I had a severe lean in my garage. Didnt even touch the mirrors.

    Does Anyone Have pictures of '07 with Givi E52?

    have a picture of a 2007A with a Givi E52 Flat topcase? Also does anyone know if the Candy Apple color is anything close to the red of an 07? I have to get a case, a very large case, so my better half has a place for all her stuff ie shoes on long rides. I thought about the 46 but it just isnt...

    Best earplugs

    I have used several over the last couple of years and I have found that these Moldex have worked the best for me. The others still left my ears ringing even after a 30 minute commute.
