  1. Before it's already gone in the back of a van.. I thought about an alarm, and decided to invest in a bike cover and a big chain and lock. Anywhere questionable, and it would be locked onto something with the cover on. I had an 03 Yamaha R1 that was not locked stolen and two of my Club members had their bikes stolen while they were locked to a pole with a Kryptonite lock and Faugetaboutit Chain. I have a chain and lock, Xena alarm disc lock, and an alarm now. Nobody should be able to get that close to my bike, sit on or anything without the alarm going off.
  2. Since my 03 R1 was stolen I have given more attention to security. I am installing the Spy 5000M motorcycle alarm on my 05 VFR. Checking if anyone has used the Spy 5000m Motorcycle alarm on their VFR - Looks good to me. Check the video link below. Any other alarms recommended? Any install info is appreciated. http://wn.com/spy_mo...e_alarm#/videos
  3. I ride year round and do mods on my winter ride in the summer and mods on my summer ride in the winter. I was using my 2K VFR in the Winter, but since I bought an 03 R1 last March I got behind on the 2k VFR maintenance. I did a lot of work and mods/upgrades on the R1, and used it most of the summer. I plan to use the R1 in the warmer months for commutes, aggressive runs and trackdays. I recently picked up an 05 VFR which I am using this winter and will do some mods and maintenance in the summer. Winter Mods: Yamaha R1 - Velocity Stacks, PC III, Dyno tuned, Yoyodyne slipper clutch, re-cover seats with custom flame leather and gel pad. 2k Honda VFR: Chain & Sprocket, Iridium plugs, thermostat, anti-freeze flush and change over to Engine Ice, Stainless Oil filter & oil change, convert to synthetic oil (Shell Rotella T), Fork oil change and seals *(maybe new springs), recover seat, brakes pads. Not sure if I am going to be selling the 2k VFR after the summer, if not then I will also do the wheel and swingarm bearings, and tapered head bearing. Summer Mods: 05 Honda VFR: Turbo City Fuel Pressure Regulator, Motovation Sliders and weighted Steel bar ends/sliders, CNG Levers, Galfer Stainless steel brake lines, Stainless Oil filter, convert to synthetic Oil (Shell Rotella T), Flush Anti-Freeze and convert to Engine Ice, Zero Gravity Double Bubble Windscreen, Gel pad in seat, Freeway Blaster horn, and Skull graphics kit. I am selling my Yamaha YZF600R and will only be changing the oil, anti-freeze, and brake pads. The YZF 600R is a nice bike in excellent condition, and only a 600cc bike - reliable and cheap to maintain. I am a Motorcycle Club member and two of my club brothers will be working on my old 94 Suzuki Intruder so we can ride it this Summer.
  4. Hey - Good to know I am not the only one who rides in the Winter. I am in NYC and it can get pretty cold here. I am usually good up to 40 degrees providing the wind is not too crazy. I gotta get some heated grips, but aside from that I do ok with: under armour tee, long sleeve cotton shirt, Tourmaster Decker Leather pants (with knee and hip CE armour), AlpineStars Gore-Tex boots (with wool socks), First Gear Fire Leather Jacket w/neck warmer and thermal lining, (sometimes I wear my naked leather crusier jacket with a full sleeved thermal liner, or my Fieldsheer MottoBar Textile jacket, or my Cortech Denim riding jacket w/ thermal lining) and I cannot forget my TourMaster Winter Elite gloves (great gloves for winter riding). I am going to be upgrading to some Frank Thomas gear soon when I get some cash.
