Because of the gap between the pipes and the larger diameter and maybe because of the rolled tip all the sound seemed to resonate. I finally found one with ...

I bought my bike from Ft Myers. My experience has been hit or miss with them. Mostly hit. I took my leaking gas line clamps to them twice and they didnt fix them correctly. I took it to Haps on the 3rd try and they didt get it either. On the 4th try I asked them to use the screw type. They did so. I...

Two years ago I was cutting some of the swales in front of my property with a weed wacker. A few days later it started! I thought I had gotten into some poison ivy or similar.

I have some copy-cat Rockster stripes I made from reflective black tape. Not as reflective as I had hoped but still looks good.

I had a total of three leaks before the second shop got it right. However, the transmission was stained and then replaced by BMW on the second attempt. It took them about 3-4 weeks for the repair. They had to order a part from Germany.

I'll second the vote for the Cortech solution. I also have the top bag that can be used by itself or attached to the saddlebags.

Here is a pic after just getting back from Daytona earlier this year.

I replaced mine with the low tone Fiamm. Just a simple swap out in the same place. Not perfect, but much better.

Condolences to all of his family and friends.

Apparently he was also a member of the Eastern Tenn Riders forum as well. He had posted DJ's MotoGP link a few weeks ago.

A link to their forum and the sad news.
