Got my decals. They look great! Thanks again.

I like the Givi topbox over the OEM. But I could go with no topbox. Will there be colors? Looks a little bland all grayish. But otherwise, I like it.

I change the gear oil with every tire change, which used to be about 16K miles with the PR2s and PR3s. Road 5s will be lucky to go 10K. My '06 had 129K miles on it when I got rid of it, and still had the original clutch. I put some moly lube on the shaft spline and gear.

Taekwondo - currently a 2nd degree, working on 3rd. Also like camping with the family. Recently got into home brewing and vintage cast iron pans. Approaching geezerdom.

Great story!Always in awe of humble folks with amazing skills.

So I replaced my Qwest with a GT-Air, which has a rachet buckle, no D-ring. Picked up a cable lock when I need to leave it on the bike.

A Haynes or other manual might have some clues. Amazon can get you one quickly.

Stealing this!

It was about 10 years ago.  I think they may have been Avons, which were on the bike when I bought it.  So initially put another set of Avons on.  I prefer the MIchelins, but I've tried the Angels and a set of Contis.  Can't remember how much weight I used, but it didn't change much over 120K...

Tried them in my '06 tires a long time ago.  Front wheel vibrated like a mother.  Bought a Marc Parnes balancer and put standard weights on and had no issues.  YRMV.

As I mentioned in the original thread, the MSF courses recommended running the high beam in the daytime to get noticed.  I did that religiously on my FJ1200.  With my '06 FJR, I used Motolights on the forks for conspicuity.  The dual beams just seamed too bright.  Even on the FJ, with a high...

For some reason the Harley guys like to burn their Daymakers on high beam with the 'fog' lights going all the time.  They can be blinding in the daytime.

Been there a bunch of times. Our friends keep there boat there and my daughter goes to the pool with her friend.  And the Dockside is right there, too.

Hey, we are around the corner in Deale, MD.  If you ever need anything or need the boat checked on (storm, hurricane, etc) or want to shoot the bull, let me know.

The axle doesn't require lube.  I put a light coat of grease on it during tire changes to prevent corrosion.  Put a light coat of moly on the drive shaft gear ends, but that's about all you need.

I've found Super Anti-Spyware to be effective, as well.  They also have a free version. Between the two, you'll get most everything.

Had the same issue with our GE side-by-side.  Even installed the factory 'heater kit', but it still kept freezing up.  It started dying, and got a Samsung french door model.  Knock on wood, its been okay.  Third fridge since we bought the house in '98.

I gave up on the stick-on weights and got a variety of sizes of the clip-on weights.  Re-used them again and again. 

Tragic.  Co-worker and his family flew on it in 2001.  7 fatalities.  

Worked well for me over the summer as I had to pick up my daughters on the way home from work.  Just bump it for two-up and luggage and I was good to go.  Also good when I rode out to Western VA.  Nice and cush for the highway droning, then tighten it up for the twisties.  Then back again for...
