    Atlas Throttle Lock update

    I can't remember if this came up here or on my beemer forum. This was a "Kickstarter" for a universal throttle lock that, very smartly, was engaged/disengaged by a pushbutton accessible by your thumb, instead of trying to twist a lock with your throttle hand. I bought into the project, they...

    Solution for a hard to unlock seat mechanism?

    The cable or latch mechanism seems to be really tight when first removing my seat. I don't want to break my key jamming it forward and it will eventually unlock but the cable might have to be oiled. Would this be the same procedure as a clutch cable lube? Any better solutions?

    Removing seat lock assembly

    I'm looking into replacing the storage compartment/mud guard under the seat (the one where the tool kit is stored). It removes from the bike fine, but the seat lock attaching to it is a pain to remove. It is held on by some "special" screws, that are probably designed to be tamper resistant...

    Helmet Lock Brackets for all 04-09 models

    I designed and manufactured these to attach a Yamaha helmet lock onto all S1 bikes (with NO helmet locks) or to add a lock to the S2. The brackets simply clamp around the right side of the frame. Clear, helicopter tape wraps around the frame to prevent marring, no mods. The Yamaha lock part...

    helmet lock for FZ6?

    Has anyone attempted to install a helmet lock? My old ZR-7 was factory fitted with one in the same location as the lock to remove the seat on my FZ6. The ZR-7 lock was positioned perfectly for the pillion foot peg to support the weight of the helmet and the "D" shaped ring on the strap went...

    Throttle Lock

    Hey everyone, so during this winter I have decided that I would like to pick up a throttle lock. My wrist isn't what it used to be so having a few seconds to relax it at 70 mph would be great. Any suggestions on which to go for? I see some for $20 and then all the way up to $150. I'm guessing...

    More stubborn bolts- Front Axle Removal

    Hey all, I was wondering if you folks knew any tricks to removing the front axle. I found a few sockets that lock together and lock in there pretty good, but I can torque it enough to remove it.

    Ignition - Steering Lock Giving Me Trouble

    Heya folks! Had this issue a bit on the past but it's been frequent as of late and driving me nuts. Park the bike, carefully lock the steering, and when I go back to unlock it - I can't get the key to slide all the way in to unlock it. With enough fiddling I can get it, such as by shaking the...

    Front wheel lock-up

    I just got an '07 last week and the very biggest difference between it and my previous motorcycle ('92 Nighthawk 750) is that the front brake is MUCH more powerful. I could grab all the front brake all I wanted with the Nighthawk and as long as there was no loose material on the pavement, it was...
