I've ordered parts quite a few times from Ready Honda (Honda and Yamaha parts along with some GIVI stuff). Friendly, knowledgeable, good service and competitive price.

John at is the not-to-miss part of the Bent Bikes experience! In all seriousness though, he's awesome - he's forgotten more about bikes than I could ever hope to learn in a lifetime. He may even be able to get you a compatible replacement if he can't straighten them.

Never experienced ant buffeting with the MRA either.... been up to 160... MPH... ahem, of course that was only on a track... ahem. ;)

I still get the full wind hitting my helmet, but that's partially due to the setup of my bike. It's a sport-tourer with a heavy lean towards the sport side so the windshield is fairly low. The stock windshield would hit me around mid-chest, with the Vario it hits me around the top of my...

I have one on my Triumph Sprint ST - works great. I have it at the highest position for highway travel and don't experience any buffeting. In the middle of the summer, especially in the city I will put it in the lowest position so that I can get more airflow at my chest level.

Town Moto has a good selection of retro stuff: http://townmoto.com/

If he didn't give you a ticket, then you're all good. He likely got another call that took precedent. Consider yourself lucky!

I've orders lots from here, they are great for old bike parts and they're in Ontario so shipping is quick with no cross-border hassles.

Argh... I'm away this weekend, otherwise I would go. Will join if it gets rescheduled or if there's a follow-up ride. Have fun!

I see the constant postings of stolen bikes from condo parking garages, this seems like a great security product... IF you can convince the building management to allow you to install it. http://www.bunkersecurity.com/motoparking/en/index.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkov81xuafM A bit...

This sounds like a cool ride indeed... I'd definitely be interested in going.

A wonky sidestand switch perhaps... try disconnecting the switch and see if it still happens.

If your system is unable to power a gps, then there is definitely something wrong with either your stator or regulator/rectifier. The power draw on a gps is miniscule and if that's putting you over you need to get the electrical checked out, a second battery won't help.

Dynabeads perhaps? They are used for balancing the tires instead of weights taped to your wheels.

Engine speed should increase at a constant rate in relation to your road speed. If your engine revs a bit higher and your road speed has to catch up to the engine when you aren't touching your clutch, then your clutch is slipping.
