  1. i just did the spacers on the top about the same 3/8' with some rubber faucet washers. I'll see how that works tomorrow on a quick tour.
  2. I have searched around and can't find where i had seen some people having some buffeting problems with this screen. I have some issues with mine buffeting and I am 5'7''. When I use a clamp on screen deflector it all goes away but now I look directly at that clamp...which I can't look at much longer without going crazy looking at it. I read on here or somewhere else in where someone was modifying the mounting of the screen with spacers to redirect the air over their helmets. Does this ring a bell with anyone about those mods....I leave for Tennessee in a few weeks and would love to get the screen sorted out. It's going to be a little cool when we leave so I would like the protection of this screen. Thanks in advance
  3. I use a couple of sjcams for snowmobiling and they work well. They use all the gopro mounts so you can find just about any type of mount possible. I got mine through amazon and there are tons of reviews on them. They can take the abuse of the way I ride a snowmobile so they must be pretty good. I'm not up on the latest cameras because mine are 2-3 years old but check out their website and the youtube reviews, lots of info there.

  4. @DeepSix ..just like norcal616 stated, you have to turn off the "wheelie wire" with the TCS button for the fun to begin.
  5. mine fit with a little gap...once you get the bolts started the clamps will grab the bar. it just takes a bit of wiggling around to make them fit. I know what you mean about thinking they don't fit at first, I thought the same thing. I also have the same part number as yours too.
  6. Ok...i'm convinced @superfist...my wife and I need this horn for our bikes. Thanks for sharing.
  7. i think i will be able to help you since i have both. both of them are 2016's and quite different in the power delivery. The versys, in my opinion would be the better choice as your first big bike...and it could even be your last. it is a really nice bike and very comfy. power delivery is very smooth and has more than enough to get you out and into trouble. I found that it rode nicer/smoother than my FJ09 also. there is a lot of room on it to for taller riders. not to fussy on the stock windshield though. 70 ish horsepower is not bad in a bike that weighs about 15lbs more than the tracer. i could go on but if you have any specific questions i'd be glad to try to answer them
  8. exactly what i have mastered too....now i don't feel so smart...lol
  9. So I went for my first ride yesterday with my new Kappa 2122DTK windshield. It definitely blocks much more wind than the stock screen but I now am getting some nasty buffeting. I'm 5'7" and the farther I sit back the worse it gets. I have seen these Puig clip on deflectors and wonder if anyone has used them on a Givi or Kappa touring screen and how were the results?
  10. i had the gold valves installed with new springs last year and have noticed a nice improvement also. rebound adjustment seems to be more noticeable than before and it does not dive down when on the brakes.
  11. nice find @denveryzf. i wish i could print some of those pages.
  12. i was just reaching for my bottle in my cabinet to take a photo and post...then i see you beat me to it. lol
  13. @captfire22 that Deere looks like it is in really nice shape..340 or a 440?
  14. you can always justify a purchase if there is great discounts....😉
  15. i know...but the free shipping helps and i think mine was on sale and was cheaper than getting one from Stoltec at the time. exchange rate and duty mess a lot of good deals up for us canucks.
  16. i picked up a penske 8983 from bayside performance in vancouver. ordered and set up to my weight and style. works very well over the stock one. as for the front forks, i had race tech valves installed with new springs and oil at mission cycle in angus...really stopped the dive and made the ride much nicer. i'm no racer but the bike feels so much more connected to the road now. I think i paid around 1200 shipped for the penske and around 800 for the race tech valves and installation ...cdn dollars of course accelerated technologies in buckhorn, just outside bobcaygeon, offers a whole slew of shocks and suspension services. I found out about them after i bought my stuff. hope this helps
  17. I have to repost this awesome pic of the "thumbs up" you spoke of. Great pic and beautiful reflection of Fay. Thanks for sharing.
  18. mine failed at 5 months...replaced under warranty. might have been the dealers fault if the battery was installed when assembled..not sure. replaced without issue at yamaha
  19. welcome from canada mikey!

      Thanks for saying hi!  Be sure to also go to the forum and say hello too! 

  20. mellow...which top box is that?? looking into getting one myself for some trips
  21. wow...not hot enough? my grips are so hot on 10 its nearly impossible to hold on to them with motorcycle gloves on ...i suspect like others say once you ride it, it will be much warmer. mine are set at 1, 3 ,10 as a side note...my heated brake lever on my snowmobile will burn skin raw within 2 seconds ...i freak out a lot of people when they grab it...lol
  22. another vote for Helibars...1" back and 1" up. cables and lines are all good
  23. i have read in the manual where it states not to use diesel grade oil...something in that particular oil. ...sorry when i see 15w40...i just assume diesel. if you look in your owners manual there is a chart with the different viscosities of oil and their temperature ranges. hope this helps
  24. its really not that hard...had mine done in about a half of an hour. just need a staple gun some firm foam. i only had to unstaple the front part so every thing still lined up and had enough vinyl to cover the small mound i made of foam...it is quite small....its all you need.
  25. I have a sargent seat and felt the same way about sliding towards the tank. What I did was pick up a sports seat foam pad, cut and shaped a small piece of foam that felt like it would keep me from sliding towards the tank. Then I pulled back the sargent cover and installed the foam piece and then stapled the cover back on. It made quite a difference keeping me from sliding into the tank. It also took me about 4000 kms to really break it in.
