To answer your original question... using a Canyon Dancer will not cause any problem to your HeliBars. I've had HeliBars on my 2013 since I purchased it almost 5 years ago and regularly use a Canyon Dancer.

Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT

Because the Hayabusa doesn't have a center stand, I installed a Pro-Oiler and I never have to worry about lubing the chain.

Thank you for the compliment. It replaced a Yamaha FJR1300 and I set it up to be very similar to that bike.

Mine is often mistaken for a BMW. I've had the Russell seat on mine for a couple of years and it just keeps getting better.

I don't get the ridiculously short interval for the Hayabusa spark plug changes. I had a 2001 Blackbird for 14 years that used NGK Iridium spark plugs and I changed them according to the Honda Service Manual. 32,000 miles. Can't understand how plugs that last 32,000 miles in a Blackbird are...

First time that I've ever heard of a Zero Gravity Latigo also. My daily use seat is a Corbin but I had a Russell Day-Long built for longer rides.

The seats require about 1,000 miles before settling down to a height that approximates that of a stock seat. In the beginning, they're more than a bit higher and that's been true of the six that I've previously owned. Realistically, some have broken in a bit sooner than that and a few have...

Since I've had Russell Day Long saddles on all of my bikes for the past 25 years, I decided to add a lot more comfort to the Hayabusa and have one built for this bike. I did learn that Russell cannot build a normal Day-Long seat for the Hayabusa because making the seat thick enough to insert...

Since I picked up my 2013 LE, I've had Givi V35 side cases and a Givi E52 top case on it. Recently, I had the opportunity to pick up a spare set of V35 lid panels and decided to have them painted to match the yellow paint rather than the black. Since they only take a few minutes to change...

Tire selection is one of those things that's completely dependent upon what you ride, where you ride, how you ride, how heavy you are and how much additional weight is on the bike. I live in southeastern Michigan where there are few curves and the roads are mainly concrete. Therefore, the...

This was posted at cbrxx.com 8 years ago. It's the guideline that I used for almost 70,000 miles with my Blackbird and am currently using on my Hayabusa. The measurement that Mythos found when the bike is on a rear stand, seems to be about what's mentioned in this old posting. "First of...

Currently, I'm using a Pilot Road 3 on the rear and a Pilot Power 3 on the front because the Pilot Road 4 wasn't available when I installed them. They are taking forever to wear down but once they do, I'll put a Pilot Road 4 on the rear and stick with another Pilot Power on the front. I'd used...
