    my first modification

    i would like to thank boneman for the excellent advice on frame sliders. i put mine on today, used some lock-tite, and wrenched them down to what i hope is a comfortable level (for the bike) i am thinking, is this first mod the one i hope i never get to use?

    Insurance

    hiya, center stand help.

    great advice all. the center stand is best deployed using your leg and foot as the force, and your hands as a means to balance it up and back. its all in the leg. side stand up, put the foot lever down, even out the bike so it stands straight, and drive the foot lever down as firmly as...

    Christmas in February! Two Bros arrive!

    i am very interested in the scorpions, i find them quite handsome and like the smoked color faded model greatly. and the shape of them is a big plus to me as well. you ask about his brothers exhaust, and wonder how loud it is. can you tell me how loud you feel the scorpions are, and from...

    New windscreen..

    i too just ordered. the double bubble screen is known as the "racing" model. i believe this puig comes in three sizes, so if you want the one you see in the op's photo, its the "racing" dark smoke here. hopefully it wont fade my pine tree air freshener too quickly.

    Are you married?

    its still not legal for the boyfriend and i to be married. though i would not if it were legal. just seems to annoy people and challenge them needlessly, the whole concept, and its rather nice staying outside of the legal swirl of paperwork you all must abide by. and to those of you who...

    new owner!

    im so happy. i found this forum, and my bike on the same day! i just bought an 07 with 835 miles on it here in san jose. its perfect, not a scratch or a ding, the owner simply found the riding position too uncomfortable...go figure. its my second current bike. and i was in the market for...
