I was at my friend's bike shop today & a couple of my firefighter friends came in. One has a harley big twin & he had a tire to replace. It was split down the middle (see pic). I went over to watch the tire changer & the tube (spoked wheel) was melted inside the tire. I took some pics of the...

So I purchase a front wheel/rim/rotors from an 07/08 R1 from a guy and he tells me it was from an unwrecked bike. I get it and the wheel is not true and the rotors are visably bent... I call the guy (Joe) and he acts confused and said he rode the bike himself and can't understand how it could...

Quick question how hard is it to replace a front brake switch for my rear brake light. Was just thinking of what it may cost to replace and fix myself.

I got the insurance bill for my 94 the other day. Figured I'd call and give them a hard time at Dairyland Insurance, see about putting my 89 on one of my policy's and combine all 3 bikes. Well, The Harley is a separate policy through them. Only Harley reps have access to it. Yada,Yada,Yada...
