    Simple question from a new member

    Bionic, Welcome to the forum! A few months ago we, our admin, switched software or maybe just versions of the same package. At that time may of the older threads no longer had working links to the attachments. I think many of these were fixed, but if you were trying to see attachments in an...

    Winter Rant aka Is winter over yet?

    I think a minor rant is entirely warranted. But take it easy on hubby. He's a guy and we just don't calculate emotions well. Hang in there. Chris

    R6 Fork Spacer isn't fitting... Please Help!

    Mac, I think the problem is not with the axle but with the orientation of how you put the spacers on the axle. The larger diameter end of the spacers should be towards the fork leg and the narrower part should be towards the shoulder of the bearing on the wheel. From your photo, the next...

    I get to keep my bike!!!!! and some $

    I'm glad that you're unhurt and more or less happy with the settlement. Sadly I must admit that I'd still be peeved at the idiot in the SUV.

    Speedometer recalibration

    The stock sprockets are 16 on the front and 46 on the rear. One of the first things I did to my bike was to add a SpeedoDRD, which is essentially the same as the Speedohealer. Both are plug and play. You need to lift the tank, but then you just disconnect a connector and insert the correction...

    Thank God I had gear!

    Gator - glad you got through it and were wearing all the gear! If your helmet has more than a simple scuff mark then it probably saved your life when you hit the fence post, or at least kept you from brain damage. I know that a good Arai helmet, in 1976, saved my life. The local distributor...

    R6 Forks O! M! G!

    You can NEVER be too careful. Especially if you can claim SAFETY as the reason to get new doodads or a new tool for the toolbox. So, what all is needed? 1. Get the forks used but be careful that you get the right version. And ones that are NOT bent - good luck with that. The R6 has been...

    R6 Forks O! M! G!

    I installed a set of R6s forks today, and WOW! What a difference! Let me say that again with emphasis. WOW!!! Why the bell didn't I do this sooner? A few weeks ago my neighbor, who takes his Honda ST1100 through the twisties like a sport bike, swapped bikes with me for a bit. His...

    Roadkill Stories

    Hmmm, complaining about the calculation.... I'd accuse you of being an engineer but then you exhibit some outside the box thinking and assign points for having mounted the head. Now THAT's a trophy!!! I agree with the thousand points for the trophy. I think you could have done a multiple on the...

    Rider vs. Deer - I won

    Raja - That depends on the state where you hit it. And the palate of the driver or rescue party. I'm not sure what the laws are in Ohio, They only have puny little deer anyway. But in WV we got a lot of ridicule in the press a few years ago when the State legislature passed a law that said...

    Rider vs. Deer - I won

    Dude!!! Glad to hear you only suffered bruises. And CONGRATS on staying up. Chances are good that the forks will be OK. Most of a deer's weight is high, right about at your headlight level. Be happy it wasn't a moose. This reminds me, now you can replace the chipmunk in your roadkill tally...
