    I agree!. Mine has the extra recoil spring for use with .45super ammo. It's a thicker case (made from a shortened rifle case, can't remember which caliber though) that can be loaded to higher pressures.

    I belong to a really great gun club. We put on DCM shoots (M1's Garands, M1 Carbines and now allowing AR's) Bowling pin shoots plus Practical Pistol competitions, along with Trap and Indoor 22's at night. There is always something going on. I also shoot at home (I own 2 1/2 acres in the...

I just picked up a 1920 Colt Offical police in UNFIRED condition...

    Roaring Toyz Kickstand install

    I notice that the bottom of the lowered kickstand doesn't sit flat on the ground like the stock one does. I use a 1/4" aluminum plate under my kickstand during the summer to prevent the stand sinking into the hot pavement and preventing a tipover. I wonder how well it will work sitting on the...

    Yamaha's 2010 Lineup

    Same here. I had planned to replace my decals with the original yellow Yamaha Competition color scheme that was recently posted, the one that matched my Kenny Roberts Edition RZ350. Now I plan on leaving the stock ones intact. Besides if I wanna ride a bike with a color scheme like that I can...

    Engine Rattle / Loss of Power

    TPS sensors are checked by the voltage they produce. Do you have a shop manual? If not I can look it up tonight and post the values tomorrow, unless another member has the manual handy and can post them earlier. Good luck.

    Wind gust in turn

    Once while riding with 4 friends to the Montauk Point Lighthouse on L.I., the wind was so bad all our bikes were leaned over at almost a 30deg angle while going straight. Wasn't really scary just super weird and was something I'll never forget.

    backpack?

    I use a "Team Glock" backpack. Nice bag, has a laptop spot, plus a spot for an iPod and one for a sealed coffee cup, plus it's also usable when I go to the range, to haul ammo targets and a staple gun plus hearing protection, but I don't CCW carry in it while I ride, that's in my sholder...

    Riding Gear

    I ride with a Joe Rocket Nitro "Yamaha" edition jacket and Joe Rocket Pro Street pants, both w/armor. Very comfortable. I also have JR Big Bang boots plus a pair of their gloves w/gel palms. I haven't used the zip out vest for the jacket yet, but will towards the end of the season.

    Stripped Rear End

    MNDZA, Did you notice that I had a case of brainfade about reversing the small additional plate brackets? DOH! I was looking at them from the front, without the whole entire bracket being mounted to the bike. They are on the sides they were designed for. All the rest of the posts were correct...

    Stripped Rear End

    No problem! It really makes a big difference in the looks. The washer that I put under the Plate LED I made from a small Futaba RC servo wheel, I filed off the servo mounting bosses and drilled out the center for the light stud. And like I said in the previous post, I clipped off the edge to...

    Stripped Rear End

    When I installed my Evo Tech tail tidy kit I reversed the small plate mounting brackets, left side to right side, and pointed them straight down instead of out to the sides) and used the BOTTOM holes of the plate to mount the plate to the brackets. I also put (before running the wires!) a 1/8"...

    Bee in my damn riding jacket!

    I got a Yellow Jacket in my helmet while riding my RZ one day. I had the visor clicked open a smidge. As I was riding with no hands going down the hill while grabbing the helmet and moving it around on my head to get him out, which was tough because I like the strap tight, OF COURSE, a cop comes...

    im finaly taking my steps

    My son has the same bike. It's a great starter bike for learning how to ride. Have confidence in yourself, and don't exceed your learning curve and you'll soon graduate to the larger bike. Good luck and ride safe, with a helmet of course. Did you clean your closet yet?
