All 23- Thermal grease will do no good for a rectifier I know all about how a heatsink works. and the frame is hotter then the r/r it is not taking any heat away from the r/r it is transfering into the r/r. Maybe during the winter or cool days the frame might be a good…
- Thermal grease will do no good for a rectifier Heat will always transfer from the hotest spot to the colder spot. The frame on my 95 gets hotter then the r/r ever should. The 1st time I had to replace mine it had thermal paste on it. I was like wtf why would they…

- My Shinko Experiment BCmcrider rchecks ... Once these crappy PR2's wear out. Just never know exactly what you're going to see on here. PR2 seems to be a bit of a standard with some folks here.. can you elaborate? They are very…
- My Shinko Experiment samaki Shinko tires are great. I recently went through a set of 009s on my 4th gen ($155 a set delivered from Chaparral) and took them off at 12,300 miles. The rear was just getting into the wear indicators and the…
- Grip Recommendations I bought spider grips last year, yeah they did not last long the 1st hot day in the sun they melted. they felt good up till then, they started leaving a black residue on my gloves and then anything my gloves touched.…
- Wanting China to make VFR750 fairings My wife contacted one of the companies that actually make fairings in china. They said they had the pattern and would gladly sell us some but the min order was either 100 or 500 sets (can't remember which). I can see if…
- Shinko Raven 009 Tires I can't wait till the PR2's wear out so I can mount another 009. I felt better riding and had more confidence on the shinko then the PR2's. I Also tried the 006 rear and liked it also, it just wore down a little faster…

- Voltage monitor on my 4th gen i mounted it in place of the clock.
- First Ride Impressions I have to agree it is a 3d bike, 2d pics do not do it justice. On of my buddies took one for a test ride yesterday. I am 5'5" and it felt similar to my 4th gen for seat height but it was a lot more comfy then my corbin.…
- 6th gear It varies for me, am I cruising or do I know I will be speeding up in a little bit, do I want to be loud or quiet, do I want decent gas milage or just wanting to burn through the tank. I normally try to keep the rpm's…

- Air filter opinions wait a second, you said the 5th gen is $45 for the oem filter? WTF why is the 4th gen $75!! The price difference between the OEM and K&N on the 4th gen is just a few cents and the K&N cost maybe a bucks worth of oil…
- My Shinko Experiment BonusVFR Keep the reports coming. Always interested in another VFR option. After an exhaustive reveiw of possible KLR tires I am going with Shinkos for my 2010 Alaska ride. The 705s seem to be good balance between price…
- My Shinko Experiment My rear 009 raven shinko went 10.5k before it wore out the center since I do a lot of highway riding. I just replaced the front with 15k on it and it still had 30% left but had cupped. The wife gave me the go ahead for…
- Rock Slide On The Dragon " UPDATE" What is even better is if you watch the guy driving up into the rocks after he hits the brakes he puts it into reverse right as he hits the very beginning of the rocks. If you are on the brakes enough to lock up the…
- My Shinko Experiment I have 7k miles on my 009 ravens so far. The rear looks like it is about 50% wore so far and the front still looks fairly new. About 1500 miles ago I noticed the front did start to cup a little bit, so now I have the 45…
