    floor board options

    I have a 2005 and I want driver floor boards. Not worried about a heel toe shifter. What are my options? I can't find driver ones on the net.

    auto tune for 2005

    I have an 05 and it looks like the power commander 5 isn't compatible. I thought the ecu was the same?

    Its on

    My brother had a fat boy years ago and sold it in his divorce. He just purchased a vrod muscle. The dealer is putting on slip on pipes and some sort of fuel commander. I have an 05 rocket with predators, triple filters, and a canned tune. I do out weigh him by about 60 to 80 pounds. Bets...

    Water pump

    Last year the water cover gasket started leaking so I replaced it and changed the coolant. It was fine after until this spring I fire her up and once running I saw leaking so I thought it was the same gasket. I replaced and still leaking when running. Upon closer inspection it looks like its...

    ignition switch replacement

    I got a replacement ignition switch and I removed the head lights and the chrome cover but can't figure out what else has to come off to replace this. Where are the bolts for this thing?

    Water pump seal?

    I have a 05 with about 11k miles on it. Previous owner let it sit a lot and I believe in a shed. That said I am leaking coolant from the water pump, looks like right between the cover and pmp itself. Is it common for the seal there to quit?

    The dumbest look I ever got

    I'm gearing up for a half ironman in a few weeks and was out on a long bike ride (bicycle) on Saturday. The Freedom run was taking place at the same time. So I'm minding my own when a county sheriff pulls up and tells me to pull over to the side of the road until the parade thins out, not a...

    comparing tunes

    I have a 05 r3 with the tripple filters under the bear claw and predators. I was running a jardine tune on my bike and then tried a pred tune. The jardine tune specifies the filters by name in the file name and the pred tune says PredK&N3. Not sure if that means triple filters or its the 3rd...

    The yamaha xs1100

    In 1999 I bought a yamaha xs1100 special to replace my first bike, a honda night hawk 650. The bike was a monster compared to the honda before it. The only bad thing was the factory handle bars. $20 later and that was corrected. The bike was clean and in good shape with low miles. My friend...

    My year on the darkside

    This is just information for anyone considering the move. I'm not looking to debate the pros and cons with anyone. To start, I am not a very aggressive rider and I put on a pretty average amount of miles per year for living in the midwest. I installed last winter a 245/50 raptor on my bike...

    Exedra max vs Exedra

    My raptor has one big ass screw in it, going to go back to MC tire. Dennis kirt no longer carries the max, just the exedra which is also v rated in our size. Did they discontinue the max?

    progressive 412 install question

    I'm in process of putting on some 412 rear shocks. The old shocks came off and were tight on the bike. New shocks came with a bunch of metal spacers, no rubber bushings, and seem to fit right over the mount. There's nothing to go between the shock and the mounting peg? Should I grease that...

    Maybe a dumb battery question

    I went to interstate today and bought a new battery. This is my first sealed and pre mixed battery. The box says pre charged at the factory. The guy at the counter said I should top it off as it likelyy has lost some charge. I hooped it up and it tuned the motory maybe twice and nothing...

    Talk to me about gear

    I live in Illinois where helmes are few and far beween. When I started ridng at 20 I never wore one. Eventually kids came along and I started wearing a half helmet. I've been thinking a lot about this lately and have decided I want to go full face, jacket, and gloves. Do any of you wear full...

    Fuel Economy

    I have a 2005, unrestricted with D&D (not cat) pipes, triple filters, and no secondarys. I get about 30 to 32 mpg, a little less if I'm really hammering her. A coworker just bought a 2013 roadster and is claiming ~40mpg. So what is typical?

    is there a general rule of thumb on shocks

    So my bike rides kind of rough on bigger bumps on the highway, like jarring. I thought I would give adjusting the shocks a go. I assume the number on the collar should line up the the bolt of the shock as to indicate what number you are on? Previous owner had one shock set to 4 and one to 3...

    secondaries

    Those who've had their bikes tuned by the likes of Tripp or Lush, are the secondaries open all the time or are they used to control air flow?
