Clean a chain? Whats that? I lube my chain whenever the rollers start to look clean or the end of evey day when on a trip. Chain gets adjusted with every tire change, has'nt needed adjusting between. I now have 20K on the bike, sprockets look good and lots of chain life remaining. Do not have...

BT016 on my Buell XB9R

I have owned a few solid mount Sportsters over the years and actually just prefer the raw feeling of the earlier evo's. Thinking of building this one flat track style, think XR750. Something like this.

In the process of looking for a pre 2004 HD Sportster to build. Have had a few in the past and for some reason have the urge to build another one.

Same tire that was on my 08 FZ1 and it also has the same line on it. Noted that the Road II that I put on the Bandit and my mates BMW have the same line on them.

Been at it for a few years now. Dont even own a gas unit anymore. This was last weekend, glazed Steelhead Trout and corn.

On the Canadian model the speedo cannot be changed to miles. Dont know why but it sure would be nice.

After I changed the bars on my 08 I had the same problem. The new bars had no way to put the factory bar end weights on them so I was running without them. Put some aftermarket weights on the new bars and no more numb hands. As for seats, I have had 5 now and the best one has been a...

If you are looking for a FZ1 I will probably be selling my red 2008 in the fall or next spring. With the riding I currently have planned for this year it will have 20k on it by then.

I have been looking for a way to mount the bags on my FZ from the day I bought it. Great solution and thanks for the idea.

Several years ago my dad and I rode to Alaska. Most of the way up there the stops have very few people around. When we stopped for gas at a place called Jake's Corner the parking lot was full of people mulling around. As we pulled in dad's front tire droped into a hole, bike came to an abrupt...

Thanks for the info on the maps Lee. I have just started to plan our annual July 1 ride for this year. Vegas is the final destination but want to ride the west coast back. Thoes maps would fit my needs also.

I just recieved my seat from them yesterday. Orderd it out of the bargian bin on Dec 24. Same color as yours and it fits the bike perfect. Comfort has to be better than stock. Bike has been put away for winter so will wait for spring to ride. I also orderd one for my wifes Bandit 1250 at...

I have put a higher and wider bar on mine last year. found the bike more comfortable and like the front end feel a little better, being wider it also steers a little quicker. They have a bend and rise much like the old superbike bars. I still have to find end weights for them that I like but...

Oldschool. Thanks for the offer, I may just have to take you up on that.
