  1. $2000,00 for Beetle Bags? WTF?

    I paid $1700 last year..already painted gloss black. Mine do not leak, even in a downpour. I don't like riding in the rain (who does??) but it poured on us last summer when we were about 45 minutes from home. It rained the ENTIRE trip home, but the stuff inside my boxes was dry. I complained...

    This and the other posts after it, are just some of the reasons I love this forum. Sometimes even when the day is sh*t before 9:00 AM I can read this and LMAO...just brightened my day!!

  4. Well.. the insanity has started for me.

    +1...no dig hear wolf, but I love 'em.....just need that de-CAT :) :)
  5. TORS installed this morning!!

    I can't wait to meet up with a few of you that have the TORS and the PREDS. (Gr3ywolf you aren't that far away) I like loud pipes but I just hear the earplug comments and wonder which way I should go. At this point I'm waiting for Warp to get his pipes from Sam so I can buy his CAT elim and was...
  6. nice $30 wheel chock

    Also pretty simple to build a wooden one that works well if you've got some basic carpentry skills. Much simpler if you can get one for $30, but had to build one on a friends trailer last year when we had an unexpected addition to out bike week journey. Worked well.
  7. EXHAUST TEMP INCREASE WITH CAT DELETE??

    well I guess I should add, once I get a CAT bypass. I'm on the hook for Warp9.9 CAT bypass once Sam has his Pred pipes done. Thanks again for the info! Ride Safe, PUG
  8. EXHAUST TEMP INCREASE WITH CAT DELETE??

    Going to my dealer once I put the bypass on and getting a new tune. All I'm really after is a better sound (stock exhaust w/o CAT) and having her run right after the bypass (new tune). Heard many Captains say that Cat bypass w/stock is nice sound. Not after rattling my teeth, just a little...
  9. EXHAUST TEMP INCREASE WITH CAT DELETE??

    A question for you more experienced/technical Captains: I recently put Corbin hard bags on my R3 with stock exhaust. I've heard some captains say they melted their bags or had some heat damage issues. I have extra heat tape on the bottom of mine (I've only ridden it home from the dealer since...

  11. Gel Pillion seat

    My gel rear pillion bolted right on with no problems, no gaps (it is a Triumph rear pillion) It's a very simple couple bolts and the old one is off and the new one pops right on. 8) I bought the seat and my backrest as 2 separate pieces. My backrest came with new side covers. The only...
  12. Gel Pillion seat

    Hey Bear, I can tell you my Mrs. loves the gel rear pillion seat (Triumph) much better than the stock seat. RIDE SAFE, PUG
  13. Giving Up and Paying for the Corbins

    Thanks Redrocket, I unfortunately already went through my dealer for the order (although this dealer has a good reputation in the area) but will take your advice on the pipes. I was reading old threads while trying to make this decision and read some others talking of the same heat damage...
  14. Giving Up and Paying for the Corbins

    Still kicking it around, but after reading many old posts and getting some good options from many Captains on hard saddle bags, I think my hardbag/make it fit with the exhaust sound I'm looking for is gonna be Corbin Beetle bags (freakin $1700, a rip off even if they are great) and a cat bypass...
  15. Under rear fender wiring for plate relocation ???
