    Have you gotten a speeding ticket on your bike?

    British Columbia has really cracked down on heavy speeders, if you are 40km/h over you vehicle gets impounded, and you lose your license for 3 days right off the bat, then comes the fines and upped insurance and crap later. The impound and losing the license though cant even dispute

    That's pretty good idea, I'm going to have to add power points the bike, heated grips are coming next payday. Hands absolutely froze, had to stop and warm them on the exhaust to get feeling back into them

    this was the test fit of the saddlebags you can see the garbage black plastic pieces that were supposed to hold the shape of the bags, i took some 2"x 1/8" steel flat bar, heated in up and put two 90 bends into it, just wide enough to sit over the seat. with it in place, it worked perfect...

    Need brake help immediately

    I just swapped out my rear tire, when assembling the brakes I found a clip, and I never seen where it came out of, I have it nearly assembled and just can't seem to find where it goes or a diagram of it. Looks like maybe an anti rattle clip???

    Bad form will get you everytime.

    he had bad form and made a few mistakes but he wouldnt have went down if he didnt spin the rear tire, too much throttle too soon.

    ??'s on making better touring bike

    pirelli angles are on order, the cee baileys window looks good, might lean that way. i cant wait to go riding, the airhawk might be a good addition, i will call some local upholstery shops to see what they say about modding my seat

    seat and window ??'s

    are there any better budget minded seat options? i want a little more compliant for long trips. i also find the window a little lacking, my helmet rides right in where the airflows over the window, so i seem to get a lot of wind noise.

    Drive line lash

    yeah my friend and i both have these bikes, tough when you have something new and you can hear all this stuff, we both have asked each other stuff like this,but i think it is normal, i could be wrong but this is what i think, there is slack built in to the transmission, so when you slack off, or...
