Re: Exhausts

Re: Re-keying System Bags when you don't have the key.

Also took mine to a locksmith, she picked the locks, removed the cylinders, and rekeyed them to my ignition key all for about $30. If possible, try and find a small (maybe family owned) place. I've found its easier to make friends and chat with them, since they really dont have any "set prices&...

Re: Front fender??

Sorry to bring this up again.....but I am having a really hard time finding a front fender for my Rockster. Any one know if any other fender other than a R1100S one would work? Doesnt need to be carbon fiber, and a bit of modding would be ok too.

Thanks

Re: Toe / Heel Shifter for my R1150R ??

If you have an extra shifter laying around, I'd be happy to give it a go and see if I can come up with something for you :).

Re: Helmet with retractable visor?

Check out one of the helmets with the built in retractable tinted screen. It only covers your eyes and you can ride with the clear visor up. I have the Caberg Solo 104 helmet. Love it =D>

Re: New Accessories

I have the touring screen on my Rock. Air flow depends greatly on how tall you are. I'm 6' and the wind gets me right in the forehead, if i lean down about an inch or so, there is no wind whatsoever, I can light up a cigarette on the highway doing 70mph :biggrin:

Good luck...your story sounds eerily familiar. I took my bike in to the dealer, I TOLD them exactly what the problem was (clutch spline), and it took them a full 3 weeks to tell me exactly what the problem was........the clutch splines #-o

Re: Clutch repair - ouch!!

Happened to me with 16k on the odometer.....ended up costing me around $1700. It sucks, but the price is anywhere from $1500-$2400 depending on whats going on, and what needs replacing :(
