That bike, at 8,000 miles? If it hasn't clearly been in a crash there's not a lot that you can do in that short of time. I'd bet even original oil...
Hah, I didn't have to post it. Those of you that would ride to tierra del fuego on a modern, farkle covered bike like the GS1200 are crazy. If a...
I'd be interested, but can't commit for sure until i know how much they would be with the group buy!
Some of the manual's specifications for tightening are insane, such as the oil filter (20 ft/lbs????!?!?!). If you torque the coolant draining...
Supposedly this shock (the s46dr1) has an integrated resevoir and doesn't need the external. Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll look over your...
I might take you up on this OOTV, thanks for the offer. I'm weighing the costs right now. Tempted to just go ahead and pull the trigger on an...
So I think I'm going to go ahead and do an Ohlins rear shock and I'm looking at the options. The cheapest one is actually less than I thought,...
I live in Seattle. As to renting the space etc, I'm starting to do the math and it would be cheaper at that point to just buy an Ohlin rear rather...
I'm sort of at a loss and looking for advice. I am thinking about pulling my rear shock and front fork and shipping them to Jamie Dougherty to...
It would take an extra day probably, but riding east from Yellowstone and going up in and through the Bighorns is pretty awesome.
To be honest, to the OP, I think you are speaking from a biased point of view. For example, the K1300 S is lighter than the VFR1200 and has more...
In my experience, the big name brands like alpine stars, joe rocket, olympia, etc are all absolute garbage. I wouldn't buy any of their products...
Oh man, the white year too. Such a nice looking bike. I think if I saw that for a song I'd be tempted as well.
I've been enjoying this thread quite a bit. I barely know anything about motorcycle mechanics and repair, so it's been sort of fun watching Merlin...
I don't know what's more ridiculous: that guy's asinine email, or the fact that he's trying to sell a 30 year old bike with a rusted gas tank for...
I'll be interested to hear your report. I'm thinking about picking up a sargent sometime this Spring, but if you find the install on this pretty...
THe guy is being a tool. If his prices are so uncompetitive, it's because he's being stingy about something. Probably trying to sell Pilot 2s at...
While the quoted poster is quite correct that the vast majority of us will never push even a sport touring tire to its utmost, his dismissal...
Is there another company called 'Olympia' that you're referring to? I've owned their products, they are garbage. The notion of paying north of 500...
Olympia's products have, in my experience, steadily declined in the last 10 years from solid to utter. Given the price on this product (only 20%...
