Two Wheel Oklahoma TV Show

Greetings comrades, haven't visited in a while since I sold my R. As some of you may recall I was working hard to put a television program on the air called Two Wheel Oklahoma. Anywho, it actually happened and we've been airing half-hour episodes in Northeastern Oklahoma since early October. The res...

NAPA

Here's one vote for NAPA!

I mounted a $9 horn from the local NAPA to the existing mounting tabs. Had to cut the OEM wiring plug off but was otherwise painless.

BTW that's very clever sneaking them under the front fender!

Re: Salvage Title 2004 1150R a Good Buy?

It might be a good deal if resale value isn't a big issue for you. Look over the valve cover/cylinder head closely on the damaged side. If you do buy it, and fix everything, take buckets of pictures. You know what's wrong with it now- you can see it. The next buyer will see a salvage title and assum...

Missouri State Rally June 26-28

I was curious if anyone on this board was planning to go. It's another one of those great events that isn't very well known. The town of Crane, Missouri turns over their city park for the weekend to the Springfield BMW club. More info at http://blog.places2ride.com/2009/06/37th-annual-missouri-state...

It's put on by area BMW dealers and looks like a wonderful opportunity to abuse... er, test ride their latest livery. http://www.bmwbash.com PS- the Missouri rally in Crane, MO is next weekend.

RAM Mount AOK

I have RAM mounts on the clutch master and the RH passenger footpeg bracket that I use with a 3" arm. It vibrates pretty badly at idle and low speed, but on the road it works great. I use it often for stills too. If your camcorder has an anti-shake setting be sure to turn it on.

Prepare the Drill

Don't be surprised if the impact takes the heads off. After one did that I resorted to the drill- my logic was it caused less stress on the bike than smacking poo with a hammer. :idea: I've lost count how many bikes I've replaced the brake reservoir screws on.

Re: BMW topcase fitting question

I see their R fitting kit that mounts to the System Case grab rails. Pretty heavy duty stuff. But getting the GS System Case to talk to that would be difficult. But why bother? Compare the expense/capacity ratio and there are several top boxes out there that hold way more for half the money. Northea...

Pederson?

Have a pohoto? I'm not familiar with a luggage rack made by Pederson. But it sounds like fussing would be involved. The GS luggage rack for the System top box attaches to the grab handle mounts. Unlike the R, the grab handle on a GS is an east-west arrangement. Plus the GS rack is not flat- it wraps...

I had an Aeroflow on my GS and loved it. Except for cleaning the bugs off the top of my helmet... I'm personally not too crazy about the aesthetics of the unit they make for the R.

Rasterbator Graphics Tool

I saw this mentioned on another site- sounds like a porno game. It's actually an online image tool that turns your picture into a huge Lichtenstein image. You can specify what size paper to use and how many sheets of paper- so you can make it about as huge as you want. It creates a multi page PDF yo...
