  1. Long Haul seat question

    I haven't been able to run in a long time- bad knees. I x-country ski all winter, and bicycle and kayak, and hike when the weather warms. All this takes me away from time on my R-3 and dual sport, but it's a pretty good trade off, all things considered. I was thinking holy ****e when I read...
  2. Long Haul seat question

    Not so fast- remember what it was like to be 18 years old? I ate everything in sight and never gained a pound until I turned 40. Activity is every bit as important how much food is stuffed into the pie hole. If you're inactive, you have a resting metabolism, so quantity and quality of food...
  3. Long Haul Seat with Rider Backrest

    I have the same issue on my '05. Some remove the spike, some enlarge the bracket holes, but there is a definite problem that I have yet to resolve. I want the backrest... so I'm interested in how your solution works out.
  4. Losing Faith

    I'm one of the few who find stock power plenty adequate, and I hate loud pipes. My only performance mod is the GI-Pro for that 4th gear feeling in all gears. Poor man's electronic gizmo, used @ $100, and I'm more than wicked pleased. Glad you got your's sorted.
  5. Foot control relocation

    Does anyone remember those lovely little stubbies someone machined for some additional foot positioning? They clamped to the rails a bit behind the pegs for a place to rest your heel. Kilderouge made them himself, and also did the linkage swap to right hand shift/left brake. The thread was...
  6. "standard" position footpegs

    I just found this thread again- and can't believe I missed the possibility of getting a set of those stubby pegs. Still possible?
  7. trip odometer problem

    I bought my '04 with 8000 on the clock, and the trip has never worked. I keep a notebook to record milage in my jacket, the low tech solution.
  8. High Speed Wobble - 2008 Touring

    Mine says loosen the top yoke, but I think I understand the 90 degree back off well enough. The 40 Nm gets it really snug, then back off completely, then 6 Nm snugs just enough for the 1/4 turn counter clockwise to be perfect. Yup, those two slim wrenches will get me doing some jury rigging...
  9. High Speed Wobble - 2008 Touring

    I'll be doing this before the riding season gets under way. My manual says: 15. Adjust the bearing free play as follows: a) Tighten the adjuster nut to 40 Nm b) Slacken the adjuster nut fully. c) Re-tighten the adjuster nut to 6 Nm. d) Loosen the adjuster nut 90 degrees. Note...
  10. Project Build Using a Rocket Engine

    Skip, what happened with that set of custom pipes you were waiting on?
  11. Eb kit

    You removed the EB kit from your for sale bike? So the ignition no longer has a relay?
  12. RIP Allen (Binnsy) Binns

    RIP Binnsy. Condolences to family and friends. Peace.
  13. "standard" position footpegs

    Thanks for remembering! That set up is a fantastic as I remembered. I'd be a lot happier with a stubby set like Kilderouge manufactured, than a more full length. I can just see my pant leg getting hung up on anything longer.
  14. "standard" position footpegs

    One of our European members did just that, crafting a little stub set that only jutted out a couple inches or less, but enough to rest the heels on. I remember asking him at the time for a set.. he'd put in an awful lot of hours machining his. He also reversed the rear brake and the shifter...
  15. Time for a new Helmet

    I really like my previous generation Bell Star, but it's a bit noisy. That was a motorcyclecloseout buy at about 200 bucks for a 600 list lid. I actually use my 30 year old Marushin on occasion. The Bell's nicer, and weighs a bit less than the old fiberglass 1/2 nob.
  16. Riding Double

    The new lady friend hasn't been on yet, but I expect I'll be keeping it to the speed limit. If she wishes to go really fast, I'll go bike shopping with her.
  17. Gone but not forgotten

    Sorry for your loss, and condolences to his family. I'm sure he'll be missed.
  18. america ...

    The link is bad. Bad link, bad!
  19. Power Comander??

    I have a PCIII I bought used and never used. For sale.
  20. Diff Oil Leak

    I don't believe so... not on these boards anyway.
