    For Sale: Men's Fieldsheer Air Mesh Pants

    $55 shipped (continental US) I think these are the Fieldsheer Titanium Air 4.0 Mesh pants, but I can't find the receipt, so they could be the previous version. I don't think there's much difference. I've worn them fewer than ten times. Size 34 Waist. I'm a 32 waist so I wear these over...

    Speedometer MPH vs. Actual MPH

    I rode with my GPS to work this morning to try to figure out what the actual MPH are. It was very unscientific, but here's what I found: Speedo 35mph = 33.0 mph gps Speedo 40mph = 36.5 mph gps Speedo 65mph = 59.5 mph gps Speedo 77mph = 70.0 mph gps My speeds varied a few mph so I...

    Add a 12V Outlet (for battery tender & electronics)

    I use a battery tender when it's cold out and got some Aerostich Warm Wrap Heated Grips to keep my hands warm on cold days. The battery tender came with a pigtail that I had hooked to my battery. The Aerostitch grips use the same SAE socket. 12V Outlet (SAE type): PowerMate Kit, PowerMate Kits...

    Can you help me add additional blinker indicator lights - LED

    With a full face helmet I can't really see if my turn signal has been left on. I'm tired of leaving one on and driving around like an idiot. My plan is to mount a green led on each of my mirror stalks that faces me. It would augment the indicators in the instrument cluster. The mechanical...

    I need new Sport Touring Tires. Help.

    I'm frustrated by the lack of good comparisons and statistics in tire reviews. I've been evaluating which tires to get all based on what I think I need/want and what information I can find on-line. Have you switched tire makes/models and found one better than the other? My commute has worn...

    Your Blue FZ6 in West Newton, MA?

    A couple of days ago (Thursday?) around 10:30 PM and I was riding around town checking the headlights on my bike after adjusting the aim. I saw what looked like a blue FZ6 parked in front of Newton North High School. Did it belong to anyone here?

    Motorcycle Storage Shelter - CycleShell

    I was looking for something a bit more protective than my cover and a bit smaller and less expensive than a canopy shelter or instant garage.

    Were You Riding Through Grafton, MA on Sunday, 31 May?

    To the rider of the red FZ6 - I was the guy at the back of a line of road bike (cycling) riders that waved. I've got a pin for the dual headlight mod if you'd like to double your light output. Beautiful day for a ride!

    Higher output Stator Coil (alternator)?

    I made one electrical mod by doing biker_dude43's dual headlight mod. I love having two low beam lights, but after a week of riding and then letting the bike sit for 3 days the battery was almost dead (not enough juice to start the bike). I'm using standard wattage bulbs so I didn't think there...

    How long to warm up street tires (in the cold)?

    I searched the forum for an answer, but didn't find one, so here it goes. How long does it take a street tire to warm up? Now that it's in the 30's and 40's in the mornings and evenings I'd like to be sure my tires are warm before leaning the bike into a turn. I've noticed that just starting...

    My next mod project is to add on a wind deflector near the top of my windscreen for those long distance rides. (a few hours in the cold of Maine last night convinced me). If you've chopped the top off of yours or have something you're not using I'd pay shipping to get it. I've got a smoke...

    Lighting Current Draw - Maximum?

    I'm considering doing a dual headlight mod, or adding auxiliary fog lights. I've read that if lighting has too much draw then the battery will not charge properly. Does anyone know the maximum draw that can be used without impacting battery charging? Is it wattage, amperage or something else...
