    Skid Plate and Center Stand?

    Is it possible to run both? I'm out of town, away from my bike to check, and it just occurred to me as I'm preparing to buy a center stand from a fellow site member. I already have a skid plate.

    Need odd size tires for a non-Bonnie project - where to get 'em?

    Hey guys, I recently purchased a '73 Yamaha GTMX 80 - the first bike I ever owned as a kid. First up (after losing the crash bars and clamp-on buddy pegs) is tires. The front is 2.50-15 and the rear is 2.75-14 and I can't find 'em ANYWHERE. Anyone have any idea on where to find...

    Need to ship a bike from PA to OK - any recommendations?

    I just picked up a bike on eBay - a '73 Yamaha GTMX 80. It's the exact bike I had as a kid and the first real motorcycle I ever had. Now I've got to arrange shipping from the seller's place in PA to my place in OK. I've not had a bike shipped before, but I'm sure folks here have done it...

    Offset bar risers - anyone have any experience?

    Thinking about these: I want to move the bars back - the rise is a bonus. I don't want to go to aftermarket gauges, and I have the Triumph accessory tach. I need to know if I can use the stock top clamp so I can keep the stock gauge panel and tach. Anyone know?

    New Sargent Saddle

    Here's pics of my Scram with the Gel seat (looks just like stock) and with the stock seat reworked by Sargent. The Sargent seat had 1/2" of the stock foam removed and 1-1/2" of their SuperCell foam added for a total height increase of 1" while maintaining as much of the stock appearance as...

    Question for Arai Vector Phil Read owners

    I know I'm being a pain in the ass, but I need to know. Can someone who owns one of these lids measure the Union Jack on the front and reply with the dimensions? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Thinking about an Arai Vector - anyone got one?

    Looking for some feedback on this lid before I drop a load of $$. My Shoei RF900 needs to be retired. The Vector really fits well, but just looking for some input from someone who's owned one.

    Swapping stock footpegs side to side - who's done it?

    I read somewhere that swapping the stock pegs side for side lowers 'em a little. Who's done it and by how much does it lower them? I doesn't look like a biggie to do, just want to see if it's even worth it. I would like a little more legroom, and reduced ground clearance doesn't bother me.

    Did away with the specimen jar brake reservoir - CHEAP!

    Got tired of looking at the specimen jar and decided to take matters into my own hands. Here's the deal: Got "Liquid Mask" at the hobby shop. Brushed it into the recess where the fluid level marks are. Painted the reservoir black. Peeled the masking material out so I have a place to...

    Time for a custom seat - suggestions?

    Stock seat - um.....NO. Gel seat - no good for me either. I can feel my "sit bones" after about 1/2 hour and start squirming around. Very uncomfortable. I'd also like a little more seat height. Thinking of going to Sargent to have my stock seat reworked. Taller foam, firmer foam, but...

    ADV Rider Gone?!

    Just tried to link up to the Scrambler thread over at ADV Rider. The site is gone, and some bogus thing comes up as a placeholder for the URL. Anybody know what's up?

    Manual on Disc?

    I've got the factory service manual in printed form, but would like to have it on a disc - CD or DVD. Is it available? If so, where? (No disc jokes from you wisenhyzer)

    Fuel range on "ON" and "RES"

    I haven't run completely out of gas yet, but I'm having to switch to reserve at about 106 - 115 miles depending on how hard I'm running. After filling up and checking mileage, I figure I'm switching to reserve at about 3.15 gallons or so. Is that about right? Does that really mean I've got...

    Pipe bluing (not what you think)

    Here's the deal. My pipes aren't getting very blue at the very front where they bolt to the cylinder, but they are REALLY blue behind the little knee heat shield where the little kink is. What's up with that? BTW, for all of those that are bagging on me in another thread for not running the...

    Grips and the raised ridges on the throttle tube

    Ready to change my grips. The ridges on the throttle tube keep anything that doesn't have the corresponding recesses (stockers) from fitting correctly. Any problem with shaving off the ridges? I always use hairspray to glue my grips on anyway, so I don't need the ridges to hold 'em in place...

    Headlight size

    I'm looking to upgrade the headlight on my Scram. I know it's smaller than the Bonnie, but not sure of the exact size. I'm out of town for a couple of weeks and can't get to my bike to take a measurement. Can someone tell me what the diameter is on the reflector/lens unit? I know it takes an...
