So 3 years back I purchased a used givi fz351 toprack on the forum. As with most of the used topracks it didn't didn't come with the expansion nuts that go in the rear tubular frame. I came up with a solution at the time that was OK, but I always wanted something better; it was snug, but not...

90% of the time I ride I have my gopro on my helmet and filming, and I'm not doing it for YouTube views. This article/video is the perfect example of why. Other reasons may include unwarranted traffic stops, people harrassing me while riding, blaming me for being at fault, etc.. Luckily I have...

EDIT 2/19/18: This post has been edited since it's original posting date. There was a problem with the photo hosting site since the date of the original posting. The photos in the update ARE the original photos taken during the original post. The photos taken in portrait for some reason have...

I'm in the process of doing a valve check this weekend, and unfortunately every single one of my exhaust valves has too much clearance. No adjustments are needed for intake as loosest is 0.007" and tightest is 0.006". My tightest exhaust is 0.022" and loosest is 0.028". I am convinced there...

Took another long weekend, this time to the driftless area of Wisconsin and Iowa. This was my second time going here this year, but I didn't post it the first time. I didn't take many pictures or video so didn't bother doing a report. This time i decided to do a report! The roads in this...

Anybody else been following this? Welcome to the 21st century! Kinda skeptical on the longevity. Also curious to see how tires hold up to the surface. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/solar-roadways I think it's a brilliant idea, but like all new things, will take some time to implement and...

Saeng wing tip review. Water Bear recently inquired on my windscreen and suggested I post up my findings in a new thread :thumbup: I went for a ride comparing the stock wind shield vs the windshield with the wing tip. The brand is saeng...

update videos added; see post in page 2 Thursday morning I got off a boring 24 hour shift at work and decided I wanted to go for a ride. Originally it was going to be to West Virginia, but the forecast for the area changed my mind quick. I decided on riding to Mark Twain National Forest in...

About a year and a half ago I got a set of bridgestone bt023 tires. They were a huge improvement over the stock Dunlop's which only gave me about 9000 miles. 15000 miles later, it was finally time for a change. The rear wore out much quicker than the front. Overall I am satisfied with these...

I have had an Olympia airglide 3 jacket for almost 2 years now. I bought it very lightly used on this forum, and it has been the best bit of gear I've ever purchased. I recently got the airglide 3 pants and all weather gloves by Olympia to go with it. Very waterproof with the liner, and flows...

A good, recent article on helmets & fatalities with time, numbers, and multiple locations to back it up. Of course, everyone here already knows this, but I always like seeing up to date data and reputable sources...

I was parked on the street today and my bike got backed into. It didn't get tipped over. The right side is what got backed into, and a witness said the bike was teetering on the kickstand. Besides a damaged oil pump cover, there is horizontal play in my side stand when down. I'm looking to...

At my recent MSF experienced rider course the instructors were talking about the fees some have to pay to take a MSF course. They had said most states require students to pay quite a bit of money; some upwards of $200! I was honestly surprised by this as Illinois offers the course for free...

modifying my stock seat: pic heavy After over a year of contemplating buying an aftermarket seat so I wouldnt have to sit on a logI finally decided to just try modifying it myself! I couldnt bring myself to buy the extremely expensive top sellerie or corbin's that everyone seems to love. Even...

Chicago members are becoming more abundant on the forum and I thought it would be cool if we organized a group ride! Sundays are really the only day I have all day to ride so I was thinking august 18th or 25th. Starved rock area offers some good riding, and its a good distance to make for a...
