New owner in STL

[machflyer]

Hello all
I'm back in the saddle again after several years absent from cycling.
I have a 2006 R3 that I bought on eBay. Very happy with it so far -- 2,000 miles locally.
The fella that owned it before me removed the cat, put D&D's on...and the chrome covers for the exhaust. I've put on a Corbin saddle, rivco risers and throttlemeister. I'm starting to do mirrors, and other small embellishments while I research high dollar items like windscreens and saddlebags.

PS - Heading down to Memphis (from St Louis) on Friday 2 May -- for "Memphis in May" music festival. Anyone else riding down from this area or points north? It would be nice to share the road...

Cheers...

Welcome aboard. You could have saved a ton of money by adding my 50 cent Flipmeister Throttle Lock (which does the same thing as the Throttlemeister) for around 50 cents.

I have more bling for less on my website. Makes my R3 look good too.

Post often. We are a fun group...................most of the time.

to Flip

Hey Flip, I finally decided I've GOT to have them stiffeners of yours., after mounting my bags and looking at them. I know your products are ALL quality, but I'm not sure even your stiffeners can help these bags out, as they're pretty weak looking. But I've gotta do something, so I ordered them last night. I don't remember if I put down the color of fasteners or not. If not, is the default color Black?
I hope so as thats what I want. If there's any problem just PM me.
I also took "before" pictures and I'll take installation pics and "after picts. so you can post em on your site. Like I said, If they can help these bags, your price should go up. Take care, xhdskip
