  1. How Can I Fix This, Broken Seat Cowl Tabs. 19 Jan 2016 03:33 Perhaps bonding a plastic washer onto them? I would try that first. If that does not work out, I might try to cut the tab down a bit and use an offset piece of sheet metal with a hole drilled through one end. Maybe…
  2. Ebay Digital $50 Gift Card $48 ( Limit 6 ) 9 May 2015 18:43 Just bought 6. I figure I'll use them sooner than later. $12 is $12. Rubber side down, Dave I think the sale is over in 20 hours or so.
  3. Sargent VS Corbin how is your butt doing after your purchase? 15 Jan 2015 08:09 I have had both and like the Sargent.

  5. ? About An Nc-30 For Sale 3 Jan 2015 13:48 Hello all: I would appreciate any input regarding whether an NC-30 that popped up for sale locally is worth the money? I don't know much about these, but think that they may be sought after by some people. It is a 1992,…
  6. Strange Surging On My 2001 4 Aug 2013 17:28 I would guess that a defective plug wire or a the plug itself would be a likely culprit.

  9. Edam? That Is Cheese No? Picture Heavy..... 14 Apr 2013 12:06 Ok, I'll bite. The pacifier on the key ring serves what purpose? Thanks for the photos, they were nice, and I learned some as I enjoyed them. Rubber side down, Dave
  10. This Cbr250 Has Peaked My Interest 23 Feb 2013 00:06 Yup you can't beat VFRD. Almost every time there's a link to another forum I'm shocked how snarky everyone is. Internet cowboys! You've got that right. I think a lot has to do with the maturity of the bulk of the…
