    Two bros: How loud is too loud?

    I personally didn't really think the dB killers made any difference. I too thought the 2bros pipes were obnoxiously loud when I first installed but love them now. Like Necro said above. Give it some time.

    Need help with a SpeedoHealer

    I installed a speedo healer on my bike. Its nice and simple to install but then I went out and set my cruise control on 65 mph and my gps read 59. I went to the speedohealer website to use their calculation tool and then I printed out that result and programmed it into my bike. I then went...

    Anyone know of a good mount system for an iPod Touch? I have one now that is for the iPod Nano but just got a Touch and want a mount for that. Looking for a mount that is small and sleek.

    two bros aluminum?

    I bought the alum 2Bros and love them. Can't decide if I should or shouldn't get the P1 dB Killers or not. Have had conflicting reports from this site so am on the fence. 2Bros says a 2-3 dB reduction but I have no idea how big a difference 2-3dBs are. Some members on this site said it made...

    TPS or not ?

    I'd push to have it changed. Its a true safety issue and could cause a wreck. Fromt eh hesitation part, it could also be a spark plug or plug wire issue but again, the TPS is a recall and a safety issue if you needed to throttle up to avoid a collision and the bike hesitates or stalls. Here...

    I say "no way" to the bail out!

    My humble opinion (and perhaps it shows my lack of depth of knowledge in politics but I am trying ot learn more) is that we cannot blame the Reps or the Dems. I think this mess is a culmination of errors in judgement, ignoring of information, and greed/influence by special interest groups and...

    Are integrated tails and flushes legal?

    When I installed the mini lights that came with my Two Brothers exhaust I noticed they said they were "For off road use only, not legal for street use". I think by them putting that line on there they are covered from their perspective. Unfortunately I noticed it after I pu tthem on and pretty...

    Two Brothers Group Buy.

    Hi all, I came across this site with 2 Brothers at a good price as well and thought I would share. They are $688 for the Aluminum ones with free S/H to the US and more for the CF and TI. I think the group buy deal is better but I thought I would pass along for those who may be...

    Two Brothers Group Buy.

    So at idle, there was no noticeable difference with the dB killers on? Can anyone confirm there is a difference at higher RPM? I am not sure I can tell how loud a 2-3 dB drop will be. Is it even worth it for an additional $60?

    Throttle Position Sensor Issues (Are you Experiencing Poor Idle/Mileage, or Stalls?)

    Here's a site to go to to check for recalls. It works for bikes and cars. I tend to check it once or twice a year. ODI - Office of Defects Investigation

    Throttle Position Sensor Issues (Are you Experiencing Poor Idle/Mileage, or Stalls?)

    At a minimum, I think Yamaha can/should send you the part for free. Maybe they may ask you to pay for shipping since you are overseas? At that point maybe you have to pay for labor? Have you contacted Yamaha directly? Explain your situation and perhaps someone there will be able to contact...

    Ocean CIty (MD) Bike Week

    Just got back from Bike Week in OC MD. ABSOLUTELY GREAT weekend. I was a bit nervous because the weather forecast said rain all weekend but as usual the meteorologists were wrong (wish I could get a job where I was wrong 75% of the time and still get paid!). It didn't rain a drop and the temp...
