  1. I have a hard time believing that TPS differ much from brand to brand or model to model, they are just a rheostat correct? Wouldn't programming in the ECM/ECU be what makes the difference?
  2. 45F is about low as I will go on clean/dry roads, and I just wear light layers under my Aerostich Darien jacket and pants......love those heated grips!!!!
  3. Russel seats "IMHO" are FUGLY and belong on a Wing or a cruiser, but yeah I hear they are very comfy.
  4. Bagster........best seat ever had, and I have run both Sargent and Corbin on multiple bikes. READY LUXE / complete seats / Seats - BAGSTERWORLD
  5. On my year GT, the install was taking off the seat and removing 2 easily accessible bolts, and then replacing with included longer bolts. So what's different on the new model to make it a PITA?
  6. No we got more snow Saturday early morning and the roads were salty.....but enjoying my new fun car however.
  7. This makes more sense for my new car concerning Ohio Winters, this state might lead the way for most salt used.
  8. I have yet to see one of these peculiar machines in the wild.
  9. The Honda VFR and VTR have well documented stator/rectifier issues, and yes I hate troubleshooting electrical gremlins.
  10. I wasn't a fan of the stock tires either, but damned if I will throw away perfectly good new tires I paid for. 😉
  11. No way, have a perfectly good old car to get salt on. I will get out hopefully a bit on Sunday, raining today and will help clean off all the muck a bit.
  12. Agree that I am not overall a fan of the latest RPHA 71, which is why I opted for the 70 Carbon instead "got it for a steal too". Hopefully my helmet lasts for years to come, and whatever changes HJC makes to the RPHA series going forward, they take critical feedback from consumers. It is interesting that some of the best deals on Shoei or Arai here stateside, can be had ordering from Europe.
  13. Wow that blows, my RPHA 70 carbon came with a pinlock insert........but they are not expensive, sucks you have to purchase separately but at least the visor is equipped for such. I don't think all Shoei and Arai come with Pinlock inserts either, but are also Pinlock ready?
  14. Helmet price isn't really about safety, it's mostly about fit/finish/comfort/weight and optical clarity of the visor. That is why I like the HJC RPHA series so much, you get a high-end helmet without quite the Shoei and Arai price tag.

    Dirt Bikes

    Sleds might be even more fun to ride for me than motorcycles.......just don't get enough snow where I live to ever have or enjoy one. LOL
  16. Wow that is a helluva lot of money, I can upgrade my entire suspension for that.
  17. I am very much happy with the RS3's, think they are gonna be my go to tire for the time being.
  18. Give this a try..... Yamaha 39L Top Case | Yamaha Sports Plaza Yamaha 39L Top Case | CyclePartsNation
  19. Revzilla just looks to be out of stock, and the exact Yamaha case I ordered and received. Also.....the case is the same part# for the FJ-09 to the Tracer GT's, it is the rack differences in which how it mounts to the bike.
  20. Got my OEM rack and 39L case from Revzilla for Xmas, where did you order from? If they sell the mount, surely they must sell both the 39/50L cases?
  21. Why can't you be bothered to phuck around with the quick shifter? And I have news for ya.......you will have to adjust the linkage if you go with another set of pegs. I agree that the seat is the likely culprit, being pushed towards the tank puts alot of pressure on the taint and the twig/berries.
  22. I wouldn't install a K&N air filter in my motorcycle were it free, but they do filter quite well like the OEM once they are dirty......I will stick with the OEM as well, but of course to each their own.
  23. The RPHA 91 carbon will be added alongside my RPHA 70 carbon this year.
  24. Well done sir, and I admire the hell out of you for doing such!!!
  25. I had the option of a 6 speed manual for my car, but I've been there and done that a few times over the years and it SUCKS in heavy traffic or a jam......I'll happily shift my motorcycles however. Also.......DCT/DSG cars are quicker than the manual version, and they shift/act like a manual anyways, just alot faster and more efficient.
