Vegas: Yeah he was my partner. Just had to say goodbye to him about two months ago due to a bad injury. Still messed up about it. Scott: When I was working in that area (mid 90's), Lee county had a no pursuit policy. If we had a chase that went north of us, we had to take it ourselves up...

Actually, after my conversation yesterday, curiousity got the better of me and I did a little research. The $1000.00 tag law was actually directed towards the vertical tag holders that some riders mount. That law was removed from the books on 6/16/2009. The tag now just has to be visible and...

Believe me, I have no problem being a hypocrite. I'll take any advantage I can get. But, and that's a big but, it can be embarassing when you stop someone for having a headlight out and when you walk back to your patrol car, you notice that your running with one light out yourself. Not that...

I can tell you that if you're in a car, and your tag is "obscured", you get a $52 non-moving violation ticket. If that even. Usually just a warning. But most cars can't do a buck forty, leaving the blue lights behind with no tag to track. I guess the big dollar amount is supposed to be a...

I don't know if any of you have heard of this before. Hell, I'm a cop in Florida and this one's new to me. I ran into a Florida State Trooper that I know while I was on my bike. He complimented me on it and pointed out to me that although it probably wouldn't be a problem for me, my tag was at...

Sorry to hear about your install issues. I can honestly say that my standard size levers took all of ten minutes to install and fit like they were made for the bike. Must just be an issue with the shorties. It's all good though. For what you paid for them, a couple of hours of free labor is...

I bought my bike used and the original owner only gave me one key. I bent the key some dumb way (don't even remember) and It wouldn't fit into the ignition cylinder. Dealership machine was broken. I bought a blank on ebay but lowe's and home depot couldn't cut it. All of my local...

The longer one does go on the left side. I installed mine when I got my bike about four months ago and had no issues. Torqued them to spec (40 lbs) and came out of it just fine. Mike

Got caught in the rain so bikes a little dirty, but here's a pic to give you an idea of the long levers. Not exactly Pazzo, but night and day above the stock quality and performance and not bad for $70. Good luck with yours. Mike

Selling yamaha tall touring screen that original owner had on bike. I'm only 5' 9", so I replaced with a puig racing screen. Screen is in excellent condition as is evident on the picture. Selling for $80 shipped (to US only). Sells for $116 new plus shipping. PM me with any questions. -Mike

Ok, I ordered my set on 12/31/09, about two weeks ago and they arrived today from Hong Kong. I ordered from the company called HK Helmets, or something to that effect. Not from the USA, China company. I got the long levers, but the quality seems great. About twice the weight as the stock levers...

Very lucky. I'm a cop Just north of Tampa, Fl. I'm not sure I've ever heard of someone getting that lucky at that speed. I must admit that the mojority of the chases I've seen or been involved in that were after bikes ended in wrecks. I guess it's like that cop said to you, "you have to turn...

Thanks Scott. I'll give those couple of things a try and hope for the best.

I haven't tried the techtron because everything was fine as I was riding for about two months prior to the issue. I ans well as the previous owner have ever only used high octane gas so i'm doubting that it's a fuel issue. I also occassionally use lucas fuel additive which is supposed to be...

I'm still experiencing the same problem with the searching or surging rpm's at idle since I unscrewered the engine mount bolts to install the sliders. With 13,000 miles, could I need a valve adjustment or something? Having had the bike for only about three months, I'm not really sure when...

Ok, our stock levers measure about 8.5 inches which is about 216 mm. The cheaper ones on ebay measure about 220 mm, so they are about the same as our stock size (5 mm is more or less negligible). I sent a message to the seller on ebay and they replied that they do in fact make the shorty levers...

Our stock levers measure 8.5 inches. Since the seller is in Europe, the measurement is in metric, millimeters I think. I guess I'll look for a conversion chart. Re-post as soon as my math challenged self figures it out. Mike

I've seen these on ebay also and have considered trying them and saving some money. I know that as of the the time of the last post, there was no word yet from the seller as to whether they're available in shorty length, but does anyone know whether the standard length is shorter than our stock...

I don't really have too many specific details, cause I didn't actually perform the operation myself. I bought my bike from the original owner about three months ago and he had the exhaust powder coated himself. I can say that about 12,000 miles later, I have the bike, and the pipes look like...

Thanks guys for all the feedback. The bike is a 2006 with 13,000 miles. It was previously owned by an aircraft mechanic who was meticulous with the bike. If I say it looked newer than new, I wouldn't be exaggerating. All synthetic fluids and everything up to date. I wouldn't have thought the...
