Thanks Merkid, im more concerned to know about the experience you had regarding their willingness to keep the customer happy or push back on claims as all companies do - some more than others. To date, Aviva, my current insurer has been very good. Sadly, their insurance doesn't cover bikes past...

Hi folks, looking for referrals for places that do ceramic coating on exhausts in the GTA or a reasonable drive outside it. I want to convert my chrome exhaust into a black exhaust and as I understand, ceramic coating is my only option. Please feel free to suggest other alternatives Thanks in...

Are you folks still happy with Echelon? Ive bought a Triumph Rocket 3 and the only reasonable rate being offered by RidersPlus or OpenRoad etc is underwritten by Echelon. Otherwise, all the other big names are totally untouchable for insurance rates.

Hey folks, I’m going to be buying a motorcycle from someone in Alberta. I just wanted to know if there is something special in doing a cross-province purchase like that. Apart from registering it in Ontario, is there anything else I’ll have to do? Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone...

Unfortunately I’ll have to let go of the VStar mainly due to space issues. But you have a point about different styling [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used to have a 2000 CBR 929 RR and I never inquired with insurance till after I bought it, but most companies refused to insure it for me. Finally JevCo did it. Totally makes sense to inquire beforehand just to be damn sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn’t get that far yet but absolutely agree. It’s a monster and I’m sure the insurance is high enough to match. I’m currently paying $60 a month for my VStar so it’ll be interesting to see what the expected payment on the Rocket is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve never seen one on the road but I’ve started looking at Kijiji and with the windshield + all the bells and whistles it looks pretty decent. I wouldn’t have the budget for brand new unfortunately but I’d look at a 2010++ model which is 2300cc. They’ve been going about 10-13k on the used...

That’s ok, friend. For now it’s just research and I’m open to all suggestions. Ultimately, no matter what someone says I’ll be be buying whatever I think is going to make me happy. But it’s great to have these suggestions and debate. Just for the sake of starting some research, Ive been reading...

Wow the Rocket looks like a beast! Definitely going to read up more on that one!

It's just that I've had one for 10+ years and I think it's time for a different one. That's all. I'll still be keeping my original bike and riding it from time to time.

All, thank you kindly for all your inputs thus far. This is really the initial stage of my search for a new motorcycle and no matter what my likes / dislikes are, Im going to give each on of your suggestions a good look and weigh the pros and cons. Keep em coming, if there are more. I'm...

Budget tops out at 20k I like the cruiser style look. I’m an athletic guy 5 feet 10 inches tall. I like a mix of style and performance. I’d love to have the kind of dependability I’ve had from my current VStar - zero issues all this time. I’m open to all makes and models as long as it fits...

Around 20k tops. I updated the post as well. Thanks for asking that question Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi friends, I currently ride a 2003 VStar 1100 Custom. I’ve been riding this motorcycle for over 10 years and I feel it’s time for a change soon. I’m looking to buy a new motorcycle next year (hopefully) and was wanting some recommendations from the community. There are so many models to...

Selling my Wide Touring solo seat for Yamaha V-Star 1100 Custom 1999-2011 This is the model without a backrest. Excellent condition. DM or text 647-299-0779 for pics and offers. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only 2 bolts attaching that right angle bracket to the underside of the base. The others are to join 2 pieces of the base together. Not connected to the tray. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t have a welder unfortunately. The tray is bolted. I was thinking the same thing about the plate but will it be a safety hazard given that the distance has increased thereby making the new plate susceptible to bending? I guess the plate needs to be real thick. Sent from my iPhone...

Hey folks, I received this motorcycle dolly as a gift from my family but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to fit my motorcycle very well. Wondering what can be done about that. I believe it’s this one 1250 lb. Capacity Low Profile Motorcycle Dolly Returning it isn’t an option because it was...
