Um... I know "a guy" who tried to break the super glue bottle cap loose with his teeth. The bottle broke and super glue squirted into his mouth and over his teeth. Needed a trip to the dentist to scrape it all off his teeth.

PCW doesn't list them on their website. I tried calling them, but didn't go through. So I purchased an EBC spring - they advertise 10% stronger than stock. I might still DD, not sure at this point.

I've done that on an FJ1200 a few years ago. I have big hands, but it was still difficult for a daily rider.

Background: Evidently I'm hard on clutches. I ride aggressively and nail the throttle at almost every stoplight. This, of course means I go through a lot of clutch disks and rear tires... about 1 each per year. :confused: I just ordered a set of Barnett carbon fiber disks. Maybe they will last...

That's the way I leave EVERY stop light. But the next one's for you, buddy. :D

FINALLY rode to work today! :) Moved to Memphis in January, and this is my first ride to work. Big move from OKC, and rain for weeks.

See attached picture.

I know the smokin' hot summer weather is almost over, but I thought I would share this idea. I went to Wal-Mart and bought 1 yard of thick black fabric for about $7 and had 4 small bungee straps in my garage. I have a Corbin seat, and wanted to keep the sunlight off it while parked for 10 hours...

I ordered these from Ebay and put them on the side covers. I like it. But if I could do it over, I would have ordered something like THIS (6 X 3.38).

:rofl_200:

A few days ago I noticed an irritating rattle coming from the left forward downpipe. I removed the pipe and discovered (with a rubber mallot) that the inner pipe had become dislodged somehow and was rattling around. I didn't even know there was one pipe inside the another. So like a surgeon, I...

Answers: Yes, I left the Cobras on the Hungarian V-Max and brought the custom pipes back to the US with me. I bought another set of Cobras here, so I have the same options as I did in Hungary. Cobras for everyday use, and the louder custom set for weekends or when I feel rowdy. :biglaugh: I...

Sold the bike last year and moved to the US. Never found the problem. Bought another V-Max when I arrived here, and no problems that I experienced in Hungary. No high-speed wobble. No #3 exhaust problems. I suppose we'll never know. :confused2:

I'm replacing the forward valve cover rubber gasket. Had to wait a few months after I replaced the rear cover gasket, which was very painful. Not much room to work with getting the cover up and over the timing gear/chain. I removed the carbs for more clearance, and while accessible, I replaced...

No, unfortunately I cannot. But there will be rides this summer with you and the other OKC riders, I'm sure!

I'll be there with my custom 4-into-4. Y'all GOTTA hear these pipes! Praying for good weather!

Thanks for sharing this info, buddy. Yeah, I've been there. Diagnosed with PTSD in Feb, 2017, depression, family unraveling, cheating wife (married almost 30 years and had 6 kids together). Yes, 2017 was the hardest time I've EVER been through and ALL of it was from others' bad decisions. And I...

Re: Delkevic Slip-On Exhaust - $200 + Shipping Sold

This Delkevic system was installed on my bike when I purchased it. I don't know much else. It's a very good alternative to stock. They sound good. These are slip-ons that attach directly to the stock down-pipes. It also has a bumper stop for the center stand (seen in pictures). Send me a PM with...

Mine was doing something similar. A few months ago, I rode 2 hours to Dallas, then on the return home, it died about 5 times... in the dark... in the middle of nowhere in Texas. Not cool. But after letting it sit a while, it would start again and run fine for a few more minutes. If you decide to...
