    Anybody got a lead on a 2nd Gen Retro kit?

    Yeah, that's a joke. That fairing could definitely be repaired, but for its condition - the price seems high. I guess maybe if mine was really trashed, or if someone was trying to assemble a kit ... And sure, I understand that you're not trying to give your stuff away - who does that anyway...

    Looking at a new FZ1, input please?

    Oh yeah, Oldbiker reminded me - I have T-Rex frame sliders & rear spools, Satan's highway pegs,and EBC pads too. I haven't had any real heat issues, unless as has been mentioned - you're in heavy traffic just sitting on top of the thing, in summer. Now my 1190 on the other hand, that thing is...

    Anybody got a lead on a 2nd Gen Retro kit?

    Ha, ha!! Funny stuff! No, mine won't ride. I've purchased her a full set of safety gear, except for the boots - but can't get her on a bike ... YET! I'm working on it though. If anything, it'll be on the 1190 since that one is a little roomier. So what's the deal on your extra retro fairing...

    Looking at a new FZ1, input please?

    I think you'll be happy with an FZ1, based on what you said in your OP. You shouldn't have a problem doing long trips on an FZ1, I travel on mine all the time. 500 mile days are easy, especially if you're gonna have Spence work the seat (he did my SV650 seat). I enjoy the bike as it will do...

    Anybody got a lead on a 2nd Gen Retro kit?

    One of these days, perhaps ... For now though, I think I've run out of leash - I just got back from what started as a simple trip with Glacier National Park in my sights, but quickly turned into something much more ambitious. In the end it was a tour of 5 National Parks that spanned 17 days...

    2nd Gen right side rear set & rear brake lever

    And I was JUST in Washington ... Sigh ... Are you willing to separate (I just need the right side)? Either way separate or the set, how much do you want for it/them? Thanks.

    Anybody got a lead on a 2nd Gen Retro kit?

    I'm in Pearland, 20 mins south of Houston. I wouldn't mind talking to you about that front fairing, I don't really need the whole kit.

    Pirelli Angel ST tires

    Yeah, I normally order them online and wind up paying about $300 US for a set. While on the road in Cali, I paid $426 US at Cycle Gear for a set including the road hazard warranty. They're worth it to me - good mileage, good in the rain, and sticky enough for anything I'm doing on the street...

    Anybody got a lead on a 2nd Gen Retro kit?

    I’m resurrecting this thread, as I need a tank - I recently dented mine and am weighing my options, repair vs possible replacement. —————- I know these things are discontinued, but I'm looking for either the whole kit, or just the front fairing. My front fairing has a crack in it, and I'm...

    Pirelli Angel ST tires

    If you can afford to grab a set of the GTs, I would just run those. Supposedly they give better mileage than the STs. I don't know what the price difference is between the two, but I figure if it's just a little more - why not have the latest itteration of the tire, with the newest tech.

    2nd Gen right side rear set & rear brake lever

    Looking for a stock right side rear set (the big bracket thing that the rear brake lever mounts to) and the aforementioned rear brake lever. I'm in Texas. Just checking to see if anyone might have these used and in decent shape, maybe as takeoffs because they upgraded) before I order new ones.

    Pirelli Angel ST tires

    I've been running the Angels on both the SV650S and the FZ1 for a few years now - first the STs, and now the GTs. I like the tire so much that I haven't bothered to try anything else. I just finished up my annual 'big trip', and had to have a set mounted up in Cali to make it back home to...

    What are your 2016 trip plans?

    Well lets see ... My annual trip to The Smokies/The Dragon in August. Glacier National Park - haven't set a date yet. And probably Sturgis, but when the 'Rally' ISN'T there. And I guess maybe a couple of trips here locally in Texas - the hill country out west, and who knows where else.

    How many members have an FZ1 ?

    It's been about 15 thousand miles a year for the last two years, on my '11 FZ1.

    Finally pulled the trigger and bought my new toy!

    Of course it is! (And I of course, was joking.);)

    Oh Dear, I've done a bad thing - There's an Orange monster in my garage now ...

    Thanks all! Will do, Dustin. Thanks for the kind invite, Brenda. And Lee, that's what I'm afraid of - lol!

    Oh Dear, I've done a bad thing - There's an Orange monster in my garage now ...

    Long story short, I took delivery of a new 2015 KTM 1190 Adventure today. Air filters are on order to deal with the air box issue - so I haven't yet ridden the bike. A friend and former crew mate has a brother that works a side job at a moto dealership here (they are both Houston...
