Ain't that the truth. Worst case I'll buy new OEM. Just ticks me off. Thx John

GD downtown Chicago. I park on a quiet street not near any cars and go for some wings. Come back and the bike is all scraped up from an obvious hit and run. Looking for a black with metallic flake right lower for a 97. Thanks

I did not use their chart. I have always been a XL glove guy but thought maybe a bigger size would be more comfortable. They were, but using the iPhone was more difficult. I wore the XL's today for an extended ride. They are a tad tight. Hopefully the XL's will soften up a bit over time. Then they will be perfect. Ya, I know, I didn't answer your question. I think it's because I have no idea how to answer. Dave would know. At least he knows my left hand...

I bought these gloves thinking my hands were as fat as my body (2X). They are not. Therefore my mistake is your gain. I paid $100 with free shipping from eBay last week. Fucktard price is $80, and I'll cover the shipping. These gloves are designed to work with capacitance touch screens like the iPhone. I can vouch that these gloves worked great with my iPhone. These gloves are basically new.

I bid $5,500

Now that is a smexy bike

Bout time this this is marked as sold...

You mean IF you had feelings?

Staintune = Sexy Austrailian Stainless

Yup, czech junk. Disclaimer: We make igniter plugs for turbine engines. We used to make spark plugs for recip aircraft engines. +1 to others' comments. There is nothing unique about this plug.

I've got a set I'd part with. I bought them with every intention of using them but they have sat for a couple years in their bubble wrap heaven. PM me your contact info.

+1 Except I would add: Do not overdo it. We make spark plugs and the #1 warranty return is plugs where the installer used waaaaay too much anti-seize.

+Scheven on the battery It is not the ignition

in life, everything is timing. i should know, i rarely get anything right the first time. ask dave. it usually takes 2-3 songs before i realize it really IS a terrible lap dance.

dibs Tell me how you would like to receive payment.

I agree Will. Something else must be wrong. I have read a bunch of the R1 posts but my unit does not appear to to "bad". Being in the ignition business I kinda know my way around the electrical system. I'm just wondering if there's someone who might have a similar experience. New Yuasa 12S battery on the way from MotoX...

Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like I am due for battery #3. Has anyone else had to replace their battery every 2 years? Yes, I know I live in FL but still, that seems like a pretty short life for a battery.

Thx guys. Yes, I checked all of the +, - and ground wires. I also went through all of the fuses to be sure I didn't miss anything. The thing that is weird is that with previous dead battery situations the lights often would not even come on. This time everything appeared A-Ok but the dreaded clicking sound ensued.

So I'm at bike week yesterday. Starting the bird up, shutting it off repeatedly. As always, no problems. I pull up to the hotel and park it out front while I check in. I come back outside to pull the bike into the garage and watch the normal pre-start countdown, lights are all on, etc. But when I go to start it I get the dreaded clicking sound. And the bike will not turn over at all. Sounds like another dead battery. Now I have 2 external devices wired on my battery (the bigger 14S Yuasa). My Zumo (with included inline fuse) and the plug off my battery tender. I remove both of the devices off the battery and still no joy. I push the thing into the gargage as the Harley guys all laugh and give me a hard time (Did I mention Harley puts all of their show workers up at the Hilton...). This morning I jump it off my wife's car and blammo, starts right up. As I'm riding in to work I realize I'm low on gas. Worrying I will have to jump it or find some kind souls willing to help me bump start it. But the red flashy thing has been flashing for about 20 miles. So I stop for gas and..shut it off. Here's where it get werd. After I fill 'er up, I figger I'll give it a shot to see if it'll start up. Blammo! It starts up without a hiccup. I've since turned it off and restarted it multiple times with no drama. What gives?

I make my living with my own motorcycle-tireshop near Amsterdam (the Netherlands). I suggest you try the new Dunlop Roadsmart instead of the Michelin. Yes, the MPR2 is great, and probably the best in the rain, but the Roadsmart is a better tire for heavy bikes like ours. It is much more stabile and predictable, and the bike steers completely neutral. The PR2 will (when pushed) make the bike move like the tirepressure is a little too low, and it has the urge to fall into corners. The difference is not huge, buth tires are excellent, but I (and most other BB-riders here in Holland who tried both) do prefer the Roadsmart. I heard the PR2's fall more into left hand turns than right ones in Europe. Is that true? j/k, NBL Helvet. Thx for the industry view. While we are all tire experts by simply owning a bike, I always appreciate an insiders take. Don't ask me about aircraft ignition systems... You don't want to know...

Are you willing to sell the backrest for the G&L individually?

Nice pipes... Whatcha planning to get Adam?

Dammit John! The wife may kill me as my garage is too full as is. Lemme see if I can convince her. Dave is cumming in manana and I expect he can help me convince her. If you sell it before tomorrow good on ya. If not, I may take it off your hands Wed-Thu. I'll PM ya my contact info.

What are you getting Adam?
