i can do that stroker. just thought it better to ask here since i wasn't necessarily in the market at the moment. hate to call carlos and bug him on the subject for just curiosity's sake. -keith

i looked it up cause i was curious: www.bestbeginnermotorcycles.com tested an 08 ninja 250 0-60: 5.7 sec. top speed: 105 mph rider magazine did a test of a 2001 triumph bonneville: 0-60: 5.7 sec. top speed: 105 mph it would seem that, from a performance standpoint, the two bikes...

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 just put on avon azario-st's front and back. they are a sport touring tire (hence ST). they have a softer compound on the sides for grip in corners and hard compound in the center for straight ahead riding. since i work all the time, i mostly use the bike for commuting and i am very happy with...

do they give you any discounts for taking a riding course? when i bought my bonnie, i took the HD riding course and it significantly lowered my premiums. when i took the HD course they had a pretty good deal going. the course was 300.00, but i got a 200 dollar gift certificate and 20% off all...

well, i'll throw my .02 in the ring. i, personally, favor the T100. i am not much for the mag rims on a classic bike. that being said, if that is your cup of tea, then i say go for it. a couple of things you could look at. first, as mentioned, you can go for the T100 seat. this seat is taller...

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...

morad makes a 17"/36 shouldered rim. check them out. it is 3.50" wide. they also make a 17"/40 shoudered rim that is 2.50". hope this helps.

actually i was referring to ikon springs, i was just bringing up the spring rate calculator on their website. got a reply from ikon today. for reference if anybody cares: ikon progressive fork springs for bonnevilles: spring rate is .622017 kg/mm to 1.050291 kg/mm ikon 7610-1602SP8 rear...

hi all. working on tuning my suspension and was wondering if anybody knows what the spring rate is for the ikons? i weigh 160lbs. so spring rate is a concern. saw the racetech calculator and it says i should be at .920 kg/mm. just wondered where the ikons came in at

sorry, forgot to say hello! welcome to the site. you will find a host of information on here. there are a multitude of posters that have some pretty incredible knowledge. use the search function and sit back and read for a few hours.

i ride back and forth everyday on my 08 bonneville t100 to work. it is a 100 mile roundtrip commute. almost all of it is spent on I-75, so i am pretty much cruising at between 70-80 mph. i have done this for the whole 11,000 miles i have on her at the moment. as far as how fast will it go, it...

that's a little pricy to me. i looked it up and the 2010 bonneville t100 is $8800 and the arrow 2-2 exhaust is 1200. that's 10,000 dollars and it is also msrp. is the $10,750 including freight and set-up. if it is, you are probably in the ballpark (and i mean ballpark!), if it isn't then you are...

well, if you really want to know..... I was taking my m bars off to try them with the rise-down. at that time, they seemed to be coming out really tough. like a jack-ass, i put them back in without using a tap and die to chase the threads and guess what? i sheared off one of the screws. when i...

hi. without going into details i need to know the size and length of the oem handlebar clamp bolts so that i can get them from fastenal. bike bandit wants 2 dollars a piece. thanks, keith

you know what kills me is that people think you are only a "biker" if you own a harley. i call myself a biker, not because of what i ride, but because i ride. i guess in a way, i consider myself an outcast all the way around. i don't fit in with the harley guys cause i don't have all of the...

gotta agree with mike m. i just put ikon 7610 rear shocks and ikon fork springs on my 08 bonnie. totally made the bonnie a new bike. prices for the ikons are very reasonable and are a very worthwile mod to your bike.

you are correct sir! the spacer was way too much. i think i'll keep the 10 wt in for now and see how it goes with the new ikon shocks. i'm hoping it'll finally handle the way it was always meant to be! now i just got to save up enough for fcr's, ark, and new cams!
