    Unusual Track Day Sighting

    Never seen hypersport tires on a Harley before, looks pretty good. If I was him I def woulda taken off the hard bags and front crash bars, woulda helped him out.

    Mods that didn't work out

    55w HIDs - Too much voltage, killed my battery. Switched to 35w and a toggle switch for starting it up. Yana Shiki RSeries Windscreen - Dark smoke comes tinted purple, looked horrible on my bike.

    We are squids :(

    I've heard "Only big, fat black guys ride Busa's." also "Those are lead sleds that can't turn." But the squid thing is news to me man. Around me, it's usually the 600's that are always up on one wheel and they never have any gear on whatsoever.

    Biggest mistake in a group ride is?

    This is a good topic... I've been in groups that are level headed and we all keep a safe distance and pace, and I've also been in groups where it was a "free for all" and they split lanes and did mock 4 in traffic. All it takes is that one guy who has something to prove to get the rest...

    how to tell if the battery is bad or if its the stator

    I have an '06... had the same exact problem... It was the battery... they last 3-5 years depending on taking care of them. I went w/ a "BikeMaster" Gel battery, cranking power is ridiculously good!

    Flasher mod

    It's a pair of double D's on the bike... ...I think it's just slowing the flash rate down when you throw on LEDs.

    Will we be crowning a new king?

    The new RSV-4, S1000RR, and ZX10R are lighter and have more HP than the Busa. Who cares?! Stupid HP war garbage and the price tags for those things are getting crazy.

    Oh boy. Busa killer.

    Well, I figured the first forced induction bike from the factory would've been a small turbo since they're more efficient... We already have the new S1000RR, RSV-4, ZX-10R, CBR1kRR, and GSXR1k which are faster and lighter than a Busa...So who cares? Can't wait to see that price tag, and...

    New Grips - Driven D3's - Thoughts?

    I have them and like em alot... The thick rubber aids in the prevention of your hands cramping up from the vibrations... 1000x's better than those "Harris" Gel grips! The rings by your index fingers and thumbs help keep my hands in a more relaxed position while riding. I also get compliments...

    Dissed at the Gap

    There are alot of Busa's around that give us bad names... There are alot by me that are merely what we call "Highway Riders"... The only thing you can do is look at their face when they notice your back tire... lol. A great way to get a feel for someone who rides is to merely ask the...

    BikeMaster TruGel Battery Review...

    So my Yuasa Battery passed away and it was time for a new one. Went to a bigtime bike part seller and they were out of Yuasa batteries. So I went w/ a the BikeMaster which was $8.00 MORE than the Yuasa which isn't cheap. It comes w/ the standard hex nuts that slip under the top posts and...
