    fading sux

    Anyone know of a brand or vendor for red colored windscreen bolts that WON'T fade to pink. :( So far, they're the only red accessory I've gotten that's faded; others have stayed true red. Thanks in advance.

    more red highlights: Watsen turn signals

    I put my red Watsen flush-mount front turn signals on yesterday. VERY easy mod to do. So easy, it's not even worth a write-up. I HIGHLY recommend Watsens because they're a quality product. They're made of metal (aluminum), not plastic like many others. And they come with the same connectors...

    ear plug opinion

    Don't know if this has been covered before, but I just thought I'd offer my opinion. I took my first long-distance trip this past weekend and I tried ear plugs. Some people like 'em, some don't. I liked their effect. I have to compare the effect to reading a book in a quiet room vs. in a...

(BTW, I changed out my grips a little more than a week ago for Rizoma Lux grips, but I never posted pics on them. The Rizoma's made a BIG difference in reducing the...

    backpack tip

    Just a story my sister-in-law told me that's worth passing on and learning from.... She was riding pillion and wearing a backpack. Like a lot of people, she zipped up the main compartment dual zippers--one up from the left, one up from the right--to the top of the backpack and didn't think...

    Weighted bar ends?

    I just changed out my grips today for the Rizoma Lux grips. I was going to also change out the bar ends for weighted ones, as they are supposed to reduce bar vibration, but I noticed when I removed the stock ends that they're pretty hefty already. I didn't have a scale to weigh them at the...
