- Over 90 getting heat only on the soles of my boots I was riding my 12F when it was 110°-114° this past August & September and the only heat I could feel on my legs & feet was the insanely high ambient air temp that was draining my body of H2O quickly. No engine heat is…
- Does the Sixth Gen levers fit a Seventh Gen? Why, do you need stock levers for the 1200? I have a set that will never see my motorcycle again because Pazzo shorties look and feel a ton better and you can have them cheap. With your Pazzo's installed does your brake…

- Valve clearance, dealers refuses to check My Blackbird got her 1st valve adjustment when I did it at 38,000 and 9 of 16 valves needed new shims to bring her back into spec but, it was only out of lash by .001" on all 9 that needed it and I brought it back to…

- What are your tricks for removing the rear wheel? I hit something on our lovely So Cal Caltrans roads {101/405 merge} a couple of months ago and had to buy a new front wheel but, I had my rear wheel repaired in Pasadena. Removing the muffler is fairly easy now that I…
