I'm sending my seat off to be redone, and I was wondering if anyone near northeast MA would lend me a stock Gen 2 seat for a few days? I'd like to keep my downtime to a minimum.
Thanks all!
I'll get a closer up pic soon, but that is how she sits now. The screen is chopped just about down to the fairing line, maybe a touch higher. I just rode for 30 or so miles and the air is hitting me square in the helmet/neck/chest area, just what I wanted. I'll report back with highway speeds...
Last week I decided to paint the inside of my stock screen a semi gloss black, and make some mirror block off plates (I run bar end mirrors, WAY better than stock). The result:
All I did with the screen is clean it REALLY well and tape off the rounded "edge" that runs the top portion of the...
I wanted to keep a copy of the oil change and chain adjustment pages from the owners manual handy (I like having the torque values, fluid quantities, quickly accessible digitally). Using screen shots of the owners manual PDF and photoshop I blended together a few pages into two "cards". I keep...
In the never ending quest for warm hands come winter time, I decided to give handlebar mitts a try. These guys came out to around $25 shipped:

Tonight I went out for a spin with them on...
I scored a great deal on one of the Creese1 fender eliminator kits. The kit came with the plate light, FE bracket, and some LED blinkers (I didn't use them, yet).
Here is what his EBay listings look like:

These came with my bike, and they are a bit too high for my tastes (I don't mind lower bars). They look exactly like this:
They are $85 new, and they are essentially mint (under 1k on them).
How does $70 shipped sound? I'm also up for trading for parts too. Gold/black handlebars, AIS block...

There didn't seem to be a whole lot of info/pics of these levers (besides everyone saying "buy them!"), so I decided to snap some pics after I installed them:

The ones I bought are all black shorty style, and here is a link to the...
I want to experiment with a stock gen 2 windscreen. If anyone has one laying around taking up space I'd love to buy it (or maybe just pay for shipping :D ). I don't mind if it's scratched or even cracked (so long as the crack is at the top of the screen).
Thanks all!
As absurdly fun as my DR is, I think I want to get a FZ1. I want to be able to do two up more, and I miss having a "big" bike.
If anyone has even the slightest interest in this please post here or PM me. I'll give you the full breakdown on my DR.
Here are all the mods on the DR:
