    F/S: Puig Windscreen, Givi top case rack, LV exhaust

    I'm not entirely sure if it will fit an 06. I had it on my '09. And shipping will of course depend on where you are located. My zip code is 65401 if you would like to estimate how much it would cost. I think weight is around 20lbs.

    Dropped it....0 mph!!

    I also had one of these moments. I was out for a ride with some friends and it started pouring at the beginning. We went back to a buddy's house to dry our clothes and warm up. So when i pulled into his driveway, I was exhausted from fighting the rain and wind and when i went to get off my bike...

    This sure is a steal of a deal. I bought mine a year ago with 19xx miles for $4K in the St. Louis region.

    Las Vegas Police Rear Ends Motorcyclist

    When I first watched this video a few days ago, I was a little peeved about how this situation played out. Then tonight, I rewatched the video and while I agree the officer handled himself completely wrong, I feel the rider was at fault a bit more then people presume. In the video, you can see...

    engine temp question

    I have to look into that. I have had the bike 11 months and i havnt changed the coolant yet. Is it not possible that because this is a naked bike, the air could be cold enough to whisk heat away that quickly?

    I rode for 2 hours on the highway today (25*F) and the temperature never got over 149F.

    engine temp question

    Well then wouldnt this defeat the purpose of them driving like this on the highway? I mean those guys almost never shut their trucks off so it wouldnt be beneficial for getting them to the initial operating temp.

    engine temp question

    Now this might be a silly thing to bring up but I was researching ways to improve mpg figures and I stumbled upon someone suggesting to block the radiator during cold weather. After I thought about it some more, I do remember seeing semis on the highway entirely blocking the front of their...

    Firstgear Warm and Safe Review

    So today I bit the bullet and bought some heated gear. I decided that this winter I wasnt going to ride around in the teens freezing my testes off. After much deliberation, I spent my hard earned money on the Firstgear Warm and Safe 90W jacket, gloves, and a dual wireless controller. These three...

    Got a ticket today on Georgia 129...need advice

    I'm not sure about the out of state answer. But in the beginning of the summer, I got a ticket in Missouri and I sent it in pleading not guilty and wrote a letter apologizing for my negligence to the Prosecuting Attorney for the county I got the ticket in. He reduced my speeding ticket to a...

    Tomorrow I will attempt the ride to work without the dB killers in. And I will also try to fanangle my Givi top rack back on the bike.
