    Anyone done anything different with the '6R motor?

    I'm bidding on a wrecked bike for the gas tank to replace my banged up one. I don't plan on spending anymore on the bike than what a new tank would cost. The bonus is I'll be getting a probably working motor with it. I have no use for it, but thought it might make a good base for an...

    Fuel pump whine

    I have may have just not noticed it before, but my fuel pump seems to whine quite frequently. About a 22 months ago I broke the throttle and handle bar, then let the bike sit for a year before fixing it last September. I rode it a little bit before winter kind of made it unpractical. Come...

    Hand signals

    Aside from the friendly wave we give each other, what sort of hand signals are used by riders passing other riders? Today I was riding along, and a guy passed me patting the top of his helmet. I thought that was odd, and figured a cop was up ahead or something. Sure enough a couple miles...

Almost like the ball in a can of paint, but with...

    Anyone have their bike repoed?

    Back in May all of my debts were discharged under Chap. 7. In it I had declared that I would like to reaffirm the loan on my bike. For several weeks I hadn't heard anything from Chase(Yamaha Card) about this. I called them, and was told that the debt had been sold to The Bureaus. I spoke...

    40mm Ammo Cans for luggage?

    Anyone do this? I've seen pictures on Google, and a couple sets of instructions on cruisers, but our bikes are a tad different when it comes to mounting options. A coworker explained that I could attach it to the foot peg with some brackets connected to the grab bar mount points. I don't ride...
