    Oval Style Mirror - Drilled Stem

    Had the Triumph ovals on my Bonneville. Had the solid stems, not the drilled version. Good visibility for me. Put them on my current America as well. Due to a self inflicted incident I had to go back to my drilled stem Triumph teardrop mirrors and miss the ovals. They looked better and vibrated...

    Securing helmet to bike while I go off wandering?

    Saw a thread about this recently. Many solutions. Several people said they just used a small keyed lock on their clutch or brake lever. Slid the helmet D rings on the lever, locked into place. The bob thing on the end of the lever keeps things there. *not sure if it would work for me as it...

    Computer Re-Program: 270 vs 360 Degree

    wbarnier, If the AIR your talking about is the SAI (air injection) then sure. Remove, plug holes and remap. You will need to disable the air injection in the map and save it. Then load it to the ECU. Disabling it in the fuel map only prevents the CEL, doesn't really shut the SAI off. You can...

    New Metzler

    I'm happy with my Metz. I have gone to the ME880 up front in place of the original LaserTek. Got just over 12,000 miles each out of the first two (LaserTek's) up front but wanted to match the back. Like the tread pattern and seem to track the road better as well. Got over 20,000 miles out of the...

    holes in headlight brackets

    holes I picked up some plastic plugs, upholstery clips from the auto parts store for the turn signal holes. RTV to glue them into place.

    tires

    didn't see any mention of Continentals. I recently replaced the Metz on the Bonneville with ContiGo multi-compounds front and rear. don't have anything else to compare them to but they do feel better than OEM. Not a world better, but better.

    Hey from frozen Florida

    Just found this site. Looks good. Been spending a lotta time at the computer, it's cold outside. I may be in north west Florida but it's 28F out now, was 21 F this morning and that's cold for here! Did ride one of the bikes today for groceries and that was good. Just wanted to say hello.
