  6. Michelin Package Deal 21 Jan 2011 17:14 Derby Cycles sells a front and a rear for $236 a set. You can also buy the tires seperately and still get the same price per tire. I've order from them in the past and will again next month.
  7. Is this a good price? 21 Jan 2011 16:49 Get the OEM saddlebags for $400.00 and look around for a rear trunk. $1300.00 for the pearl white used set is a rip off and even $1000.00 is a still high. I called Mason City Honda and they have a black trunk and a…

  12. Who Has "plugged"? 11 Nov 2010 17:24 I'm riding with a plugged rear tire. I've probably got 3,000 miles with it plugged. I ride a mix of two up, solo and twisties with some highway. Never a problem. 95% of the time I carry a rope plug kit and with a 12v…

  25. 07' Swb Abs 11 Jun 2009 14:02 That is WAY too high of a price. If I walked into a dealerships and saw that price I would have laughed and walked right back out the door. I picked up my new cherry red '07 w/ ABS for $7,500 in April. There are some…
