    fz1 sucks for touring....

    +1000 on the Tank Grip Pads. I went with Stompgrip for $50 and would say it is more than worth every penny. Braking and Acceleration is so much easier because you stay put in the saddle where you want to be. Being on the naked it also helps with maintaining core stability to deal with wind.

    fz1 sucks for touring....

    I can easily do 300 miles or roughly 4-5 hours, and a long day for me is 400-500 miles or about 8-9 hours where I will actually get fairly sore. I'm on a 2009 with the naked headlight setup so no wind protection. 1. Be physically fit (ish). I go to yoga and ride my bicycle around town to...

    Camera Mounting Locations

    I think either on the tail section or tank are good options for a gyroscopic mount. Off of a frame slider seems cool and off the rear spools works too

    2014 BMW S 1000 R Preview

    That's still listing the S1000RR, also if you look the bike pictured is a 2011. The only price I've seen is for the S1000R base model at 9,990 british pounds, or 11,490 for the S1000R sport model. From the visor down article. First ride: BMW S1000R review - Road Tests: First Rides -...

    Sooo, how cold is it?

    Have you noticed there are more and more of the unmarked cars/SUVs/Trucks running around? I know a guy who works for DPS and he said they even have Maxima's, 4Runners and other random vehicles that they use occasionally

    Not bad here in sunny AZ

    So it seems my work with the rubber mallet was enough to straighten up the bend or issue with the riser, the bars actually look pretty straight now. I do need a left rear set with shifter.

    LOL, was pretty close to that, the angle is off a little

    Multiline Bifocals?

    I've heard up to a couple months. Don't have personal experience.

    WTB: Gen II parts

    Ok, so seems I was wrong. The guys at the shop suggested I just bang in the lower handle bar holder because the rubber holder can get tweaked in an off. So I got the rubber mallet out and wailed away. 98% better. However I thought they would be able to bend the shift lever of the left rare...

    2014 BMW S 1000 R Preview

    I was at the dealer on Thursday and they were not sure of the price, they were assuming it would be the same as the S1000RR or maybe a little less. They assume they will find out early in the spring and get the bikes for the summer riding season. OTD they were saying it would be around $20k...

    When looking directly down at the risers, the left is bent back about 5-10 degrees. The little rubber grommet/ring around the base of the riser there is a 2-3 mm gap on the left side that is not present on the right. It may have just shifted in the rubber ring, I may try to take it apart...

    Thanks, the retro kit gives all the plastics and the tank, but I would need the headlight assy and fairing mount again. I really was planning on keeping the bike, and still may. We'll see, I just need to fix the bars and risers first.

    That was the plan before this little mishap.

    WTB: Gen II parts

    And now that I'm thinking about it, my turn signal was on when I was picking up the bike because I had to put the lense cover back on it and it was still flashing. Regardless, I never said it was all his fault, he made an unexpected move, I reacted, and it didn't work out. If I really wanted...

    Thanks, have a nice day. EDIT: and the S1000R hasn't been released yet, and is not the fastest bike in the world.

    No signal on but it was his house, we were going back to fire up his new PS4. I had just passed him and about 5 other cars (all legally) a mile back and I think he just wanted to get in front of me after we turned on to his frontage road. He said he thought I was lettting him pass so he could...

    Hi guys, unfortunately I had a little low speed off yesterday. MY buddy thought I was letting him pass, even though I was setting up to make a left turn into a driveway. As I went to go in I saw his grill out of the corner of my eye, and I just grabbed a fist full of front brake, front tire...
