Re: Multivex safety mirrors

I've used them on an automobile and I really like them. The stock on the R1150R are too small to support multivex. They would work on an RT though.

Re: CLUTCH/SPLINE??? I HOPE NOT...

I think you need to replace the slave cylinder. I guess the bleeding corrected the symptoms for a short period, but the problem is a leaking slave cylinder. You can do it yourself for under $200 and it's not that hard to do. A friend from the board and I did his in my garage. It took about 3 or 4 ho...

I replaced the clock with an oil temperature gauge. Here are the details:

Re: NCAA BCS Football Talk

Thad, It looks like Fulmer is going to leave at the end of the season. What do ya think? I'm not happy about it. He's family; he's been a part of the program for close to 40 years. Last year we won the SEC East. Sure, this year has been ugly, but we've changed offensive coordinators and the players...

Look for me on TV tomorrow night. WVU vs. Auburn. I will be wearing the tree bark camo. :D I watched, but I didn't see you. WVU played a great second half. That DeVine kid is fast. I've come to the realization that lots of gold teeth will increase your speed. That DeVine kid has them. Chris Johnson...

Re: Louder Horn- Is There Room?

I have ABS on my bike, and I think some of these people are overcompensating for anatomical shortcomings with an excessively loud horn. I went with the dual Fiamm horns under the beak.

Re: after 40 min riding in the rain..the bike stop running......

I had a similar issue several years ago. My bike was towed to the dealer in Knoxville and hooked to their computer. It claimed the wiring harness was bad. Then it claimed it was ok. Put it back together and it started just fine. We don't know for sure, but we think water got down in the TPS sensor c...

Re: Gas Flow Problems

We went through that in Nashville about a week ago. It's not back to normal, but the situation has improved. Most stations have gas now, but only regular. The stations near my house were out of gas for close to two weeks. I was in San Francisco part of that time and I assumed it would be straightene...

Re: NCAA BCS Football Talk

Auburn is very over rated. What a gift from UT. Alabama took Georgia behind the woodshed, and let up in the second half. Now Saban can yell at them all week, and there should be another beat down by Bama next week. Tennessee's been in the giving mood all year. It was an interesting weekend. Alabama...

Re: silly question - firing "order"

This is going to seem a silly question for anyone that knows the answer, but on my r1150r, do the cylinders fire alternately, or at the same time? This is going to sound like a silly answer, but it's both. Both pistons are in sync as far as their position with respect to the crank. They are at TDC ...

Re: NCAA BCS Football Talk

Well. My Vols worked hard to lose that game tonight and their hard work payed off. We had opportunities to win, but just couldn't do it. I do see some improvement in the play calling. Crompton needs to settle down. How about that transformation of Craft? Whatever they said, did, or fed to him at hal...

Re: Nolan Helmet

Jeff and Phil, If the helments are of no use to you, I would like the straps. To save on shipping, and to keep me from having to look at OSU stickers, I would like just the straps themselves. Cut them where there's as much webbing as possible. Let me know how much you want for them and I'll cover sh...

Re: Nolan Helmet

Does the N-100 have the ratcheting type fastener? All I'm looking for is the two straps with that ratcheting fastener. i would rather get a helmet that's busted and otherwise useless.

Re: NCAA BCS Football Talk

There is one key to getting to the BCS Championship Game. You gotta win your Conference, and the last time I looked there is only 1 winner in the SEC. In my opinion the SEC Championship game IS the National Championship Game! I figured that Fulmer would be gone after the last couple of years. It is...

Re: NCAA BCS Football Talk

The mighty Bulldogs always have a lot of talent, but they usually end up Gator bait. I think Georgia's biggest problem is Mark Richt. I've seen him make some real stupid moves during a game. The Florida game is not until November. If Georgia is undefeated at that point, they should certainly be num...

Re: checking oil and yellow warning light question

This is one strange beast to check the oil on. It does need to be on the center stand and on flat ground. The trick is to make sure you've shut it off with the engine hot enough so that the oil drains from the oil coolers. I don't bother checking the oil if I've just finished a short ride. After a g...

Does anyone have an old Nolan helmet they want to get rid of? All I need is the straps and fasteners. Let me know if you have one.
