    $&%#! Rounded Fork Cap

    I had the same thing happen to me when I put my race tech springs in. I ended up using an air hammer with a chisel bit and worked it around, as soon as it started moving it spun out easily, almost like the seal was seized to the for tube. Richard

    Concealed Carry Weapons, Firearm

    I conceal carry almost always, especially if I am out with my wife and kids. I carry either a HK USP 45 compact w/ LEM trigger, or a Glock 27. Both carried using Galco inside the pants holsters. Considering a Lady Smith in the future as a possible third option, I would also like to shoot one of...

    Arizona Gov

    Gov. Brewer has definitely come into her own with the passage of SB1070. I would like to see Obama at least visit some of the border towns. Maybe he should spend the night in Nogales and see what the quality of life is for those being ravaged by migrant drug runners and human smugglers that have...

    Misery in Phoenix

    Basically it is like riding in a oven. You almost have to wear long sleeves or a mesh through jacket to keep the hot wind from burning your arms. I tend to do my bike projects in the summer so I can ride in the winter. Totally opposite of the rest of the country. Last week at Sky Harbor Airport...

    wierd driveability concern

    I am thinking this is an electrical issue. Last night on my way home which is about a 15 mile ride, I got about 14.5 miles and turned into my neighborhood and when I went to accelerate after the turn the bike had no power and started backfiring out the exhaust, I pulled over and the bike would...

    Frame Braces

    I purchased a set of used RMS Torque Rod frame braces but they did not come with instruction or the tab to weld in since they are used. The tab I am not worried about because I can get those locally but what I am looking for is someone who is running these braces, who can provide an upclose...

    Fork Spacer Length w/ Intimidators

    I ended up trying a couple different preloads before I found the one I liked. I dont remember what is was though. But I did buy a bunch of the aluminum tubing for the spacer tubes because I just didnt feel comfortable with the pvc idea. If you want some of that just let me know and I will send...

    Progressive springs vs. Racetech

    I have race techs in my max and I love them. I think of it this way, race techs are like more of a custom tuned spring based on your body weight, progressives are more of a one size fits all deal. I prefer race techs and I am also using the ricor emulators and love those also.

    Motorcycle jack

    Re: got a question I just might take you up on that. Do you think using that jack would allow me the access needed to maneuver the engine around so I can install new mounts? Richard

    Motorcycle jack

    got a question How do you guys who dont have centerstands securely lift you bikes for repairs. The reason I ask is I am planning to install solid motor mounts but my bike does not have the center stand tabs. Any ideas would be great Richard

    Lowered Vmax Pictures

    I have not had any issues with speed bumps, I do make darn sure to slow way down for them though. I think the bike handles/feels better now than it did before but I am hardly a knee dragger, I went down in a corner a few years ago and then didn't ride much afterwards so I am slowly building my...

    Arizona Memorial Day ride

    Last year about this time I was living in the Prescott area and me and a buddy rode up the 89a through Jerome, Clarkdale, Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon, it was a blast, we hooked back onto the 17 and headed back down to the valley. Lots of switch backs up to Jerome, kinda hairy at times, but...
