awesome replies guys thanks. Answered my curiousity for sure, g8anos that situation is exactly what I can see myself running into (in my car, I often hit some of these things and never even see em till its too late) and luckily my route to and from work is burned in my memory so I know exactly...

Well, ive made it my goal this year to ride to and from work everyday the entire rideable season but we've hit a patch of some pretty wet weather. ive loaded up on all the rain gear I could ever need x2 (have a full other set in my locker at work so I dont have to lug it all back and forth "just...

so you havent had any problems with a used, but still in good condition front and a brand new rear?

also, I stripped the head of the front pinch bolt when I was torquing it the last time. any suggestions where to look for a new one?

Well a friend had a rear tire blowout at 100km/h this weekend so I decided to go check out my Shinko 005's. The rear is DEFINITELY ready to be replaced but the front looks pretty decent. Im a little embarassed by my 2inch chicken strips still on the sides :spank: Do I need to change both right...

It would probably have been faster just to go put the bolt in and see? if it only threads twice, get longer bolts. That is the issue with the interwebz; Not everyone knows what they're talking about when handing out advice..

Up here, the FZ1 is $2700 more expensive than the FZ8 (which is $10.5) We are always more expensive than the states. In Australia it is selling for around 12... Its all proportional. Perhaps the magazine just misprinted/misinterpretted the price

One thing id like to just point out: When factoring in price, there is no contest between the fz8 and fz6. the 6 will be a better buy everytime. But yamaha x'd the 6. Now its the FZ6R, which will appeal to most entry level riders. After that first year of riding when everyone gets that "need to...

Ill put in my own personal experience with this decision and hopefully you can take away from it something that will help. I really want a SS, gixxer 750. After a month of back and forth on it I finally decided to go for it. However, when trying to sell my FZ I found how much of a loss ($$) I...

Really hope you didnt end up at Blackfoot for this. by far, the most savage, bloodthirsty service department to ever walk the face of the planet. Ive got too many personal experiences to even begin writing them down here. Pulling the whole "refusing to pay the bill" thing doesnt work, they must...

Winner. /threadover

My sister bicycled around madagascar when she was 20 and absolutely loved it. Nothing bad to say, im assuming on a MC youd have so much extra time you could REALLY enjoy the scenery. This year me and a friend (he had his Vstrom 650) left calgary, headed north to prince george, then prince...

Its rare that cheap products actually live up to the bar set by far more expensive names. Thats not to say it cant been done, but having never even heard of S&S I cant provide any feedback regarding their quality. However, I would highly suggest raising your budget slightly and picking up...

If you dont need the passenger pegs, i simply put them down, place as much of the bag on as I can, and run the rear strap through the hole in the bracket. the bracket holds the bag flush, while the peg holds the bottom up, and avoids and unsightly sagging.
