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

Hey machflyer. welcome and enjoy the ride.
Sorry I'll be working that day.Sure would love to head South for awhile tho. Ride safe and have fun. xhdskip
 
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
 
they work


hey skip,
don't worry. flips' saddle bag stiffeners work very well.i thought all hope was lost till i installed the kit. lo and behold! they look like saddle bags once again! get the kit from flip,you'll be pleasantly surprised....

greg oh,by the way,welcome to the forum. Mach !
