when going to the 813 cams, what all is involved? specifically, is there any motor mods that need to be done aside from swapping cams? also, what kind of perfomance enhancement can be realized with pod filters and nark mods alone with the cams? -keith

i just ordered a custom helmet from oldschoolhelmets.web.com. the main guy josh was really good to work with on the custom design. for 199.00 you get a choice of either a biltwell, fulmer, or bell 3/4 helmet. then you can choose your own design or pick one off their website. i ordered a flat...

when i ordered my avon azaro tires from motorcycle superstore there were TONS of different tubes to choose from. what i did was talk to them on their live chat online. i wasn't sure what tube i needed either, the operator was very friendly and helpful. i think i paid around 13 bucks or something...

i bought them through motorcycle superstore. excellent service and free shipping. i had my tires in a day or two. i wouldn't bother with bike bandit. it always takes forever to get anything through them. you'll like the azaro-st tires. they look awesome on the bike too!-keith

i had them on my bike at one time. here's my .02 on them. first, they are lower than the stock bars. i felt the rise was pretty decent compared to the stock bars. the thing i hated about them was the pullback. way, way too much. felt like i was pushing a wheelbarrow. when looking at the the bars...

bellacorse, triumph performance usa, british customs, and newbonneville have all the goodies and all have treated me well.-keith

sorry, not trying to be a jerk, but how much is your life worth? i know in this economy, it is easy to skimp and find cheap ways to avoid spending money, but you are risking a major accident for a few hundred bucks or so. do yourself a favor a get the new tire and tube. we really don't want to...

i know this is old hat for most of you, but how do i go about adding brake fluid to the rear brake. the level is at the low level and i didn't know if i need to do anything special other than just fill it up with the approved brake fluid to the correct level? by the way, what brake fluid do you...
