My '85 XJ900 costs me AUD$135/year in fully comprehensive insurance. That's about US$180. It's pretty fair considering I ride to work every day and I know I'm...
Can anyone tell me what the brake disc diameter is for Seca and Maxim 750's and 1100 Maxims? Denis Fitzgerald Mustang Bombay's The Patent Leather Kids ...
Rick, Good to hear that you're OK. Damned freeways. I've had my little heart stoppers on a couple of occasions. Always like to keep good distance between me...
This would probably be simple if it were not for the shaft drive. Any advice from others who have already replaced their rear tire? I plan on having a local...
It's simple, replace it with the same size on there now or what is recommended in the manual. Don't pay a shop to do it though, changing a tire is easy to do...
I've ordered the same tire that is on it now (actually the original 20 year old tire) which is a Dunlop D404 130/90-16. But as for replacing it myself I dont...
You don't open the shaft, silly. All you do is take out the axle, move the brake out of the way and lift the wheel off to the right. Don't lose any of the ...
It's not hard at all, I do it all the time. Better to do it yourself than let the 19 year old, high school dropouts at the shop do it. At least you'll know...
Yeah, I know this is a do-it-yourself forum. However, in Australia, motorbike tyres are only sold by specialised motorbike shops. The tyres cost twice as much...
Well, I like getting my hands dirty, have all the tools, and don't have anything better to do with my time... One of the advantages of being unemployed is lots...
Hey, don't talk to me about guns. I had to hand in for destruction, a nice little semi-auto .22 Ruger carbine. Mind you, though I still have the 12 gauge, my...
Don't blame us for those restrictions, you could always 'just say NO'! We don't like them either but with all the big corporations paying off so many corrupt...
US$25 for a tyre! Maybe I should start importing my own into Oz. Exchange rate is currently A$1 = US$0.75. A$200 vs US$25 leaves a lot of room for freight...

Maybe a little slow but that doesn't have anything to do with tires! LOL Like I've said lots of times, I get slightly used take-offs from the Harley shop. The...

Here you don't have to bribe anyone but maybe in New Jersey, who knows. Harley owners are really fickle and have lots of money to throw away on useless chrome...
Hey Steve, Did you ever consider with all that time on your hands that you could maybe go out and look for a job? Just like changing a rear tire it ain't that...
