Re: Highway Bars
Well, I went with the MC and adjusted the brake lever to a little higher position than I would have liked. It is not entirely comfortable since I now have to pivot my arch to raise the balls of my...

Results of Rear Wheel Alignment
Hi Everyone,
When I switched to a larger sprocket last month, I lost the factory alignment of the rear wheel. I used the factory marks on the swing arm to get it back to where I thought it was...

Re: Friction Zone Variations
WW - I appreciate the replies! They help me a great deal. If nothing else, the last reply caused some gears to turn in several quarters - nothing bad about that!

Re: Friction Zone Variations
Interesting. I didn't know this was common. I'm having a hard time getting my head around your hypothesis - "The clearances between the clutch plates are likely tightening up a bit due to heat and...

New Helmet and First Ride on the "Other" Bike
First, a report on the Shoei J-Wing helmet. While it is out of production, there are a few places that still have them, mostly in the small sizes. I lucked out and found one in the right size (XL) in...

Re: Speedometer Accuracy - Wowee Zowie!
Not a thing wrong with the speedo. I now understand that it is the line BEFORE the number that represents the 10 MPH increment. I also mistook the "40" mark for "50" last time out. Tonight, At 50 MPH...

How about this:
$1,000 - extra if they do the battery and carb clean.
