Wheel weights (or lack of)

So I made it back to IL. from the Barber Motor sports park in Birmingham AL. (You Gotta go if you have not been there) And my rear tire is bald, I pulled the wheel to order a new tire and as I am looking it over, I don`t see any weights. You think they ever go out without any weights? I bought it wi...

Re: Wrist-Rest with GS Handguards?

I would go with the kaokousa, I touched one at a shop the other day and it feels really good, gives you a nice grip on that ring. My bike came with a throttleMeister, and sometimes its too slick and hard to grip, so if you get one get it with grooves in it. Must be why the Kaokausa has those big nob...

Re: Corbin seat - about to pull the trigger

I rode out the last of the season on a Corbin. I like it, its way better than the stock seat. It sits taller than the standard stock set.

Re: windshield report

We keep hearing good about the CalSci screens. Tell your tall pals I listed a XL in the buy, sell and trade, I need a med. Maybe I will have it cut down. And by the way what is Swirl edging?

Re: Charging tender trouble

Ok just to let you all know,,, I put a fused pigtail directly to the battery (you can get it a motorcycle shop) (got mine at a harley shop, 6 bucks) with a plug end on it, and it works like a charm with an older charger (bmw tender) I had to reset the clock after hooking the battery back up. as alwa...

Re: Charging tender trouble

well thanks for all the info,,,I think the direct wire to the battery is the answer. As a matter of fact the think the old BMW charger can with post clamps and the direct with pigtails, I just didn`t get them, so all i need is a fused pigtail to plug into my tender, Thanks all.

tall windshield bracket

Hey
Does any one have a BMW tall windshield bracket they would sell. or trade, I have the short
bracket and windscreen that came on my R that i don`t think I will use again . I put a Givi off
my oil 1200c on the R, It works ok but i think I want something that looks alittle better.
