I bought on ebay an R1100S rear rim and just installed it on my R1150R. This rim is 5.5 in. and it allowed me to install 180/55. I installed Continental Road Attack tires. I’m no expert but I don’t find it any harder to corner the bike, in fact my chicken strips seem to be smaller comp...

I was invited to ride this last Sunday with a group of Squids. Well that’s not fair not all were squids. I thought it would be interesting to see how well I could keep up with the young kids. Most looked to be in there 20's and I'm 42. I would say in total about 45 to 50 bikes. All Rice Burne...

Nice!! Hope I can join you next time.

Sorry guys its not looking good for me. This flu bug has kicked me in the head. It a challenge just to walk around the house, can't even think about riding right now. Hope the weather is good for you.

OOOh I wana go. My bike will be in the shop on the 15th, I hope to get it back in time to make it. New Tires, New Battery,check faulty ABS, New pads, fix gas leak.

I was just thinking Where are the oil coolers?


erock

My can will stay off. I've grown to like the sound and the look too much to go back. I did wait to take it off till after the warranty had ended. I'll put the can back on when I sell the bike....... (like that will ever happen)

Hey Toner

Don't feel to bad this could happen to any of us. I've often wondered what I would do if my helmet was taken. So what did you do?

erock

With the handy pay at the pump I don't even get off the bike. So put me down as no stand.

erock

Don't buy a ramp rent a low trailer and tow it with the toyota. If that won't work for you and you need it in the truck just don't try to load or unload it alone.

Nice job!!!! I think you just convinced a bunch more people to de-can their bike.

Hey tao good job!! Some time back looking at DJ's photos I was stunned to see no muffler on his bike. I loved the look. Other people asked him about it and he said no problems. Took me about 6 months to take a chance and finally do it. But toner, tao & dcameron take one look at my bike on our Sa...

tao I have no differance in mileage. However my mileage was never great. Maybe your like toner now and riding like a hooligan
Thanks for the info DJ I'm going to look into that!!

eRoCk

Glad to hear it toner!! You to dcameron. Can't wait to see photos don't think I have ever seen a rockster with out the muffler. What I'm looking for now is a full size case for that side.
Cheapest mod to the bike you can do.

eRoCk

You can justify that purchase knowing your new muffler is only going to cost you 5 bucks

I had there tall one. Got a good deal on it but was still a lot of money. Great looking seat. Was hopping it would help out on a long trip last summer. Help keep my rear on the bike longer. But in the end (no pun intended) I found it no better then the stock seat. To be fair I have yet to find a sea...

Out for a short ride today. Was on a long straightaway in 5th gear and picking up speed when all of a sudden I lost power!!?? Well I shouldn't say lost power because I could rev the bike but it was like I was in neutral. But no green light. A million things ran through my mind as I coasted to the si...
