Very cool bike. Congrats. I've got a customer that has one and loves it. He's looking for some lower fairings for it and I haven't seen any, but haven't had much time to look. If you know of any, or hear of any I'd be interested so that I can pass the info along. Bruce

I'm running late to leave for work so I can't find and post a link showing the testing methods for you, but if you want to look on the AMA site I'm sure they would be there. But to answer your question, it is a set angle to one side of the centerline of the bike. I say one side because there...

Steve, I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it and was simply trying to make a point to me. FWIW, I was not, nor am I offended by his remark and would encourage the moderators not to give this a second thought. I'm sure the comment was made in the spirit of the debate. Bruce

:rof: Really? Around here it's peanut butter, maybe a dogs name, and even a nickname for some folks. So, first off I won't apologize because in my mind I didn't do anything that warrants an apology. But I will tell you that if in the span of the world between my keyboard and your screen a...

Well the thing is the noise issue is already a big problem and personally I think the battle has already been lost. At this point it's more about damage control than anything else. As for the grassroots campaign, thats what I call myself doing by posting here (and other forums), trying to...

Oh well. Maybe it's they way your reading my posts. Nothing could be further from the truth. What you originally said was "I have no idea where your from..." after reading where I specifically mentioned the AMA & MIC which are decidedly very American organizations, then mentioned in the...

I know you guys have been all around this but... I had the FJR at the shop for some warranty work that was called for and while we had it in I asked the guys to check the throttle body sync just for giggles and grins. They used mercury tubes and found that while they were out of sync they...

Nahhh... Just pointing out the obvious and trying to right the wrongs and injustices in the world. *lol* These days I'm doing more Sport Touring than cruising, but it's all good. Ride safe. Bruce

Kinda like the rider(s) in the video must feel about you posting it and making fun of them in the first place? Again, I'm just sayin'... Bruce

Kinda re-directs the whole "Tool" statement doesn't it? *lol* Bruce

Uhhh... Actually it's not a Harley. It's a Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic. So are you Harley bashers going to apologize now and start throwing Yamaha riders under the bus? I'm just sayin'... Bruce

The problem is that when legislation is written it doesn't say "V-Twin" or "In line four", it says "Motorcycle". Besides, decibels are decibels no matter if they are read from a cruiser, a sport bike or a jet airplane. Bruce

Clear that up for ya mate? That's a pretty broad assumption on your part... Rumpole of the Bailey's and his neighbors don't seem to agree with you. Bull****. That type of thinking is what got us to the point we're at here in the USA and if you folks down under aren't careful you'll find...

As was mentioned in another post on the same subject, recently the AMA and MIC proposed a suggested maximum decibel level for all motorcycles, on road and off. This was aimed at the aftermarket companies selling exhausts in the US because all factory installed exhaust systems meet or exceed all...

You could be right about Sturgis and the 60's, I'm not real sure either, but... The most famous (in-famous?) hill climb event in the US is The Widow Maker in Utah. I tried to do some quick on line research and came up with some bogus facts. Wikipedia claimed the event has only been running...

How about that... My every day price for anyone that walks in the door is competitive with the chain store prices. Again. $130.95 front, $162.95 rear. Bruce

Agree with SR, your figures are a bit off, especially when you consider that most people won't use them every day so the cost of an automobile still has to be considered. About the only way to make the numbers work the way you're trying to is if you use those from a scooter. Not just a small...

Not really... Most are in the high 90'S at idle and go well into the 100-teens at 'fast idle'. Bruce

The run-a-way train is approaching the station... This is only the first step in what will probably be a long and ultimately ugly process. Essentially what has happened is "The Industry" has suggested a standard that it would like to self police by. BUT, if (when) the feds say 'Nope...

Oh man, you've done it now... I love talking about 'Dales! Holding up? Kind of a loaded question. The '03 X440R was bought as a parts bike right after the bankruptcy. It was a demo bike that the area rep and I were using to 'spread the word'. He brought it to me a few weeks before...
