    Iridium Spark Plugs

    K & N Filers

    Can anybody tell me the difference in flow between the 2780's and the taller round RU1770's. I am installing a set of Jardines on my Roadster Monday. Will they flow enough to warrant better filters. I'm currently using the 3/4" taller version with the A/T sensor mounted in the end of the #2...

    Another Stupid Oil Question

    Currently running 20 50 Max Cycle by Royal Purple. Thinking it might be better to run their 10 40 oil. Thought being that it would get in tighter areas on startup. Just a thought. I like the lower number. My concern is will the 40 be good enough at the temps these engines run at in the...

Got it on Ebay with free shipping for $189.00 Highly recommended. Doesn't take up much of the grip and works great. Releases with a touch of the...

    Captain Down

    Just got back from our trip to the hill country. While eating in Leakey before we rode the 3 sisters, I saw the only other R3 out there. Guy was on a red bike and had a pony tail. His little group took off just ahead of us. On the toughest part of the ride(336), we were waved down coming...

    TORs on Roadster

    Does anybody know if the TOR's have eliminated the cats. I understand they are in the exhausts. They're lighter than the stock cans, but I'm not so sure they're gone. Sure thought it would sound a little louder than it does. The R3 classic with the 3 pipes sounds a lot better to me. Anybody...
