How the heck did it fall out?? The case has a very tight zipper which goes all away around the perimeter.

Found my picture:

Case (cheap and waterproof!): Arkon Handlebar Mount with Waterproof Case for 3.5" and 4.3" GPS The GPS Store GPS: any Garmin (currently Nuvi 2455). I've been using the above combination for ~7 years. It's seen hours of pouring rain.. never had an issue with it. For charging, I have a...

Holy crap that is well used up!! I cut an old rear several years ago. The bit in the middle was embarrassingly thinner than the sides :( Stupid highway miles :(

Happy Birthday!!!

I *think* combination of higher capacity air filter with aftermarket exhaust makes a bit of a difference.. air filter on its own: no way you'll feel it. In terms of cost, if you keep the bike for a looong time, it may save you a bit of money. I'm one of the people who had poor fit with K&N...

I've been riding for a looong time, but admittedly track riding is new territory to me. I have attended CSS level 1, which has confirmed everything I knew about initiating lean: counter-steering. This video makes no mention of using the handlebar whatsoever. What do you think...

Another choice: Aeromoto Track Tech Gloves - Competition Accessories I picked those up a little while ago and cannot speak for durability or crash worthiness, but reviews on that site say the gloves work well. Oddly, they don't have the pinky/ring finger connection, like almost all other race...

Nice work! I too slid my tail section forward from the back (like Oldshcool) instead of pushing the tail down, but what's done is done! Enjoy!

Hang in there, Lonney. You've made it this far! I'm amazed that after 6 weeks it still has a hold on you (not you in general, but how powerful this particular *drug* is). I never smoked, but spent majority of my childhood (from 3 to 13) in a household with 2 heavy smokers. I was constantly...

Same here. Can't say that it was an easy job, but carefully spreading the plastic out to the side while moving it toward the front of the bike got the job done.

In addition to what has already been mentioned, few other items which make long days in the saddle more pleasant: 1. Aftermarket grips (anything thicker than stock is nice.. soaks up vibes. Grip puppies are great too). 2. Tall / touring screen (for long days + highways). 3. Highway pegs (a...

On the street, I find these mostly help when you brake hard (grip the tank, to prevent putting all the weight on the bars and / or sliding forward). Even a tank bra is enough to make a difference.

I'm with Dustin.. seat time is the #1 thing that'll make touring more comfortable. Having said that, not every bike will suit every rider equally well. FZ1 can definitely benefit from few touring friendly mods. I have the following: highway pegs, touring screen, dual density grips, heavier...

Sucks about the twisted ankle, but glad it's not worse and awesome that bike is undamaged!

For a very long time, I thought so too. Turns out it's not true. I started researching this when one of the *brand new* tires I bought had a stamp dating back nearly 2 years. Have a look here: Tyre age and DOT numbers for motorcycle tyre - moto-tyres online @ moto-tyres.co.uk Have talked...

True. If those tires are in fact original, they're WAY too old to still be on the bike. So yeah.. if the stamp is from 05 or 06, I wouldn't even look anywhere else.. I'd start by getting new rubber. They'll most definitely have dry rot too. Here is an extreme example:
