Here are some picture of how the rack looks mounted. Sorry for the less-than-stellar pictures, but it was the best I could do without pulling the truck, sled, snowblower and lawnmower out of the garage. I mounted that #14 cross brace in a few different positions to show how it would look...

I'll see if I can loosely install them tomorrow and get some pictures of how the mounting brackets all work together. It looks like bracket #14 can be flipped upside-down if need be for any clearance issues.

I have aftermarket exhaust (Remus), and the SHAD racks. I have the topcase rack currently mounted, but have not mounted the sidecase rack yet. Here are the installation instructions for the SHAD sidecase rack. They don't use the exhaust mounting brackets, and if you have an FE, probably...

I have the same exhaust on mine, unbaffled Remus. It sounds awesome, but yes, it's loud. I've ridden by, and next to, police cars and have not been bothered yet. On the "Loud Pipes Save Lives" topic, during the day, I let the bike sing as loud as it wants to. Let the surrounding world know...

I thought I was the only one bothered by this! I've learned to wait a couple of car lengths before I try and go, otherwise I end up getting on and off the clutch several times while the people in front of me accelerate at the speed of cold molasses. It's annoying on the bike, but even more...

^^^ Definitely :thumbup:

I'll start off by saying that I'm no where near an expert on carbs, but there is a good chance you are icing up one or more of your carbs. It doesn't need to be below freezing for it to happen, but it does need to be cold and damp (Wisconsin cold, not Florida cold;)). The air rushing through...

Living right by Milwaukee, I've driven on some of those overpasses. Some of them are WAYYY up there! The guardrails don't really come up all that high either. I don't really take my FZ through Milwaukee very often, but the thought of highsiding and being catapulted over one of those...

Pretty much every vehicle has the ability to have "icons" that don't light up. For example, I had a 2008 Silverado, which didn't have traction control. However, that was an option, so there is an icon in the dash. You couldn't really see it unless you shined a light on it, or the sun hit it...

I dealt with a similar situation at my last job. I rode my bike to work pretty much everyday (until it snowed), rain, shine, sweltering heat and below freezing temps. To get to my office, I had to walk through the plant. It never failed, every single day someone had to make a comment "Aren't...

+2 for the Drift HD170 Stealth. I bought one this summer, and it is awesome! The built in LCD is really nice, as is the remote control and the rotating lens. The only downside is the built in mic. It's not that great. Get the external mic if you're looking for good audio with the video...

The local MX shop by me will mount and balance tires for free if you bring in the wheels off the bike. As to not abuse the privilege, every motorcycle tire I've bought, I've bought through them.

Just received payment for the seat pad. Sorry.

Speakers have been sold.

It is an issue in the real world. The company I used to work for installed one of these in the woodshop department. The material they were cutting was a compressed laminated fiberboard, which has the ability to absorb moisture when it gets humid. -Side story- The saw works by...
