    Yamaha going to triple

    The T is high on my list "would like to have" If everything goes as plan I'll have a new ride by the end of the year. Now the 12K question is... does the FZ1 finally will get a real update? We'll see...

    Mixing oils OK ?

    I don't think it will destroy anything. Personally I prefer not mixing brand or synth and dyno oil but it's from my own preference... no big study group thing...

    Did I ever tell you guys how much I hate chains?

    Even without rain... still need some lube. When I did my 4K miles bike trip last year I had new rubbers and the chain only had 2-3K miles if I can remember. I lube the chain the night before I left Laconia, NH (still hot form the ride) I left Laconia and rode 1550 miles in 23:36 (That was...

    Did I ever tell you guys how much I hate chains?

    Same here in Florida when it rain almost everyday during summer time. Been looking around for a new ride lately. If everything goes as plan I might be able to get one later this year. Driveshaft is on the list... The S10 as one, but not sure I want to spend 15K on a 600 lbs dirt bike?

    WTB Mouting hardware for Givi E41 Keyless bags and top rack for Gen II

    Z124 & Z125 2 of each. Those are the latch (1 per side) and pins (2 per side) All you need to do is measure your case and built a rack around it. Doesn't need to be that strong, those case are rated 5 lbs per side... let's make it 10lbs. I did mine with 5/16" steel rod that I got from Lowe's and...

    WTB Mouting hardware for Givi E41 Keyless bags and top rack for Gen II

    If you are ready to beat a bend rack strait... why don't you just build your own? That's what i did for my top case and E21 side case. Here's where to get the Givi hardware... for under $30.00! GIVI Hardware Components

    Led tail & running lights

    I did the same on my 6R. Running/signal lights to the rear. I hook up the running light with the license plate light and been working good. I did everything with the FE. So I pretty much cut the loom and connected everything together. When I conneced the LED license plate light... I connected...

    Has anyone been to Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum?

    Been there few time over the years for racing and testing. Never had the chance to visit the museum. It's on my to do list...

    Denali DM1 LED accessory lights -- opinions?

    Look pretty good. I got those few weeks ago... a little bulky but very nice. 1300 lumens/15W per lights Duallys (Set of two) I put some pics on my 6R thread... just to give you an idea.

    What epic ride do you have planned for 2013?

    I did my West Palm Beach, FL - Laconia, NH 4K ride this year during Bike week. Loved it and want to go for a week ride again this year. I think about riding the Blue Ridge Mountain kind of bike-camping style this year. I'll be looking more seriously into it after the holidays.

    Adjustable Windscreen(s)

    I adapted my Pelican toolbox to fit on the top rack also, since I don't have a cage anymore (wife use it for school...) I ride my 6R 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. So when I work in Miami on weekend (100 miles round trip) I bring my tool, 50 lbs on the top rack! (Pelican 1495, large laptop...

    Adjustable Windscreen(s)

    I honestly wasn't making fun of you, I tough the idea was good. :sport12:

    Adjustable Windscreen(s)

    Excellent idea! If I ever need more storage I'll use a set of soft luggage over the top case.

    Adjustable Windscreen(s)

    Got mine in the 3 digits also... without any issues. All day long! Let me try to find a good pic of the screen... Here we go. 22" screen with lip +2" in the middle only. The sweet spot was 15 deg between the screen and the lip. On top of my mind I have 1/2" or 3/4" gap between the screen and lip.

    Adjustable Windscreen(s)

    WOW, I tough I've seen it all! I tested homemade screen anywhere from 20'' to 24". I settle for 22" with a laminar lip alike. That was more then enough to get the air over my helmet. There's more to it than height. The shape has a lot to do with it. I end up changing mine for a Puig Touring...

    Running lights

    That's what I tough too... I had to order it separately. They do look really nice on my F.E. I have the Proton flush mount on the front. Since I use the CNC bar end mirrors and could find proper cover to block the holes of the stock mirrors, I put a set of tint signal on top too. Look ok, much...
