Well, I tried bedding the rear brake yesterday. the first few runs were not good. I was practically standing on the brake and was not able to stop confidently. after about 5-6 runs, it started getting better with each run. I basically followed the posted instructions here on the Org: doing...

Just kidding. I just now changed my rear brake pads after miles of squealing. I should have checked them sooner. They are probably original brakes. I have 20K miles now. Left: new EBC HH's middle: Right pad right: Left pad. Flame away. Im embarassed that this was on my bike.

just clarifying. Thanks.

I was reading through the first gen service manual. On page 6-64 it seems to allude that a pad change can be done wih the caliper on the rotor. is this right? On other bikes, ive taken them off. TIA

Thanks! Im such a cheap bastage. Id love to get a Baxley/condor but they are too expensive and if HF can satisfy my needs for less, then its an easy decision. I saw the other HF moto stand but it was twice the price. the sport chock and ply wood is cheap, just the way I like it. Tru...

I want to buy a harbor freight sport chock. Ive seen lots of pix here with it permanently fixed to a trailer or a moto lift. I want to be able to move the chock around: use it in the garage, at the track, on the trailer. Can I just bolt it to a 1/2" ply or a couple of 2x4s? if you have...

how comfortable is the top case with back rest. Do your pillions have an opinion about it? Im considering doing more trips with the SO. A back rest would make any pillion more comfortable, IMO. As long as Im looking into a back rest, it may as well carry/store our gear when off the bike. Im...

A friend gave me his CD while I was on deployment. Funny Shid!

I got a busa because it was the best touring sport bike at $7000K. I didnt want a connie, and the new one was brand new last year. It will be a while before its in my price point. I also looked at the Futura, VFR, XX, Triumph ST. The busa was the bike that had the larger aftermarket support and...

This, unfortunately, is true. If it were strictly just about the ride and the joy of riding instead of wanting the king of the hill bike than it wouldnt matter what any one rode. These bikes are more similar than different but it would suck if everyone had the same bike.

I kept my stock cans because they are quiet. vibration and noise adds to the fatigue that can reduce your daily milage. Do you need more power? Got the following? Tire repair kit air compressor or CO2 cartriges flash light chain lube tire gauge padded cycling shorts camel back road side...

Id like to get 1K cans on both sides if possible. Do they make a left sided can?

does this product replace the cans? Got pix post install?

Happy Bday, Devil Dog. (yup I double D'ed you. sorry)

Find out the exact dx. Some are amenable to therapy. In my experience, the nicest people get GBM, glioblastoma multiforme. it can be fixed in the short term, but the time it buys is a "farewell tour." If he has mets (metastasized cells ie spread)... its logathymicly more difficult to control. As...
