  1. How to get an exhaust note like this?! 13 Sep 2012 10:19 Howdy, You get the low throaty tone from the size of the can. I have a set of Microns. The cans have a large volume (inside space), and they sound really good, and are relative quiet. I don't have the tech toys to post…
  2. Skidmarx Hugger 18 Jul 2012 11:07 Very nice!
  3. Official Skidmarx Hugger Group Buy ***CLOSED*** 17 Jun 2012 11:34 Howdy, I ended up passing this one by. My youngest needs braces on her teeth. I am interested to see some pics of the hugger installed, and to see how y'all dealt with the brake lines. Thanks again, Yosh. Mac
  4. Best battery for 4th gen VFR's? 23 May 2012 23:53 Howdy The lithium-nickle hydrides cost a pretty penny. They save a but-load of weight. Mac

  7. Interest in Skidmarx Hugger group buy? 4 May 2012 09:21 Howdy, I am interested in a CF for a 6th gen. Please include me on the list, and let's see what kind of price we can get. Thanks! Mac
  8. Learning Curve �Numb Hands, Throttle Control. Body Position 30 Apr 2012 00:58 Howdy, VTX 1800 = PIG VFR 1200 = Past Forker! I have rode both. Mac.

  10. Can I buy just a mirror stem for a 6th gen? 16 Apr 2012 22:20 Howdy, This will save you a little- http://www.ebay.com/...#ht_2420wt_1180 The also have long stem mirrors, so you don't have to look at your elbows.
  11. Engine flat past 10,000 rpm? 15 Apr 2012 13:33 Howdy, Here is the requested addendum to the thread jack: Shady Valley is on Hwy 421, before you get to Mountain City, TN. Try the linky. It is the local version of Deals Gap. I'll pass through there after church,…
  12. Engine flat past 10,000 rpm? 14 Apr 2012 16:28 Howdy, If you search around on this sight for references to dyno results for 6th gens, you will find that your bike is normal. At the highest rpms, you are past the peak torque, and hp begins to tail off. Ride it and…
  13. So what's your MPG??? 25 Mar 2012 19:54 Howdy, 36 MPG most of the time. I have gotten over 50 MPG on the highway, running in sixth gear. I think that I have only been in 6th once in the last year, and only use 5th part of the way to and from work. We ain't…
  14. Mity-Vac vs. cheap chinese. Recommendations? 25 Mar 2012 19:27 Howdy, Speed bleeder work great! No vac is needed. No air will get in the lines if you don't open the fluid reservoir until you have the new bleeders in place. If any should, it will come out with the old fluid. The…

  16. Which heated grips for VFR? 9 Mar 2012 10:14 Howdy, I really enjoy my "Hot Grips." I paid $100, and they have been solid and reliable for almost 5 years now. I sometimes wish that I had the fancy reostat controller, I am using a three way switch warm/off/BBQ. Mac
  17. Another surging thread... 2 Mar 2012 07:57 Howdy, Surging at 2000-3000 rpm, in a turn? I think that the problem my be that you are too high in the gear box. Mac

  20. "HID" LIGHTS, and Adjustments of any headlight 22 Dec 2011 10:06 Howdy, When I commute this time of year ( if the weather allows it ) the trip both ways is in the dark. High beams only drop for traffic, and won't shine around the side of the mountain. At least not any better than you…
  21. What are your favorite heated grips?? 19 Nov 2011 14:54 HOT GRIPS. It don't get no better. Mac
  22. Now I know why most run a PCIII 6 Nov 2011 12:31 Howdy, Just a thought- Might want to try some FI cleaner, and run he tank through it, without shifting any higher than third gear. What do they call that, "An I-tally-Ann Tune up" Mac
  23. Any experience with Tech Spec tank grips? 18 Oct 2011 11:02 Howdy, I have had the Tech Spec kit on my bike for better than twenty thousand miles. Originally what they shipped me would not stick to he tank, the adhesive remained on the paper, not the rubber. It took a couple of…
  24. Gun-shy or prudent? 26 Sep 2011 10:28 Howdy, How you get into the corner is important. For safety, I enter blind lefts, most turns are blind where I live, as close as possible to the white line on the side of the road. It gives me a better sight line…
  25. Oxford Heated Grips....any advice? 17 Sep 2011 12:40 Run them off the fuse feeding the cooling fans. Highly unlikely to be on at the same time. Howdy, Just a counter piont. I do not have Oxfords, but enjoy using my Hot Grips in the rain. I would not want them wired to my…
  26. MRA VARIO SCREEN REVIEW 25 Jul 2011 09:13 Howdy, I am pleased with my MRA Vario. It does shed the cold well when full up. The quality excellent after 5k of use. No issues, except it takes more time to clean. Mac
  27. My new 1200 vs. my 800's 11 Jun 2011 12:13 Howdy! I got a demo ride on one yesterday. These are some of my thoughts- Agreed, turn in is slower, maybe due to choice of rubber. Never have liked Dunslops. Weight, have to it feels heavier than my 6th gen, but the…
  28. Anyone with a MRA SpoilerScreen Windshield? 8 Jun 2011 18:55 Love my MRA Vario- The quality is everybit as good as OEM, and I would buy it again. I also think highly of Twisted Throttle as a vendor. Mac

  37. MRA VarioTour screen 13 Dec 2010 20:21 I have been using a Puig ST screen for a couple of years. The only problem that I've had with it is it just looks cheap. I asked Santa to bring me a MRA Vario ST for Christmas. I hope to be impressed. Mac
  38. Deer Whistles 7 Nov 2010 11:16 This is what I have noticed. A couple of years ago, I installed Micron cans on my bike. I did it as much to shave weight, as for the sound. It seems to me that the deer notice, and turn their heads, sooner than they did…

  44. What Brake Pads Are You Using? 27 Sep 2010 21:51 Hey PB, HH is a rating. EBC is a brand name, the best in the business. If you don't believe me, ask Brembo. Mac
  45. 3rd Gen Bike Porn @ Deal's Gap 26 Sep 2010 17:12 Now straiten me out, if I am incorrect. Lean angle is measured from vertcle, not horizontal. That is really getting with the program, at Shady. Nice work. Gotta give Rollin, a nod as not to thread jack this thing. I…

  47. Dropping the pillion pegs 2 Sep 2010 09:31 Howdy, My wife would raise a the same complaint after a couple of hours. I got a new set of passenger pegs from Twisted Throttle. They helped a lot, but I was worried that I would drag her toe before my peg feeler, when…
  48. Need less vibration from my 2006. 29 Aug 2010 11:33 Is your front tire cupped? Have you checked the wheel to see if it is balanced? Check the head bearings? That is where I would start. Good luck, and keep riding! Mac
