  1. They might work! I also have no cush in my tush. I need to do some squats!
  2. $15 solution. You're welcome. 🤣 https://www.ebay.com/itm/276727455956
  3. I've not owned one single bike that I needed lowered pegs for. Generally, they get raised!
  4. You want the one(s) that have the same specs for the obvious (size, thread, etc.) but also relief valve PSI, bypass relief, and drain back valve. One I started for my vehicles:
  5. That is the only "product" I've used with consistent excellent results. It has gotten expensive.
  6. You're missing out on the used sprocket business. 🙂
  7. Your expectations have some holes. 🙂
  8. There's some truth to that. At track days, people swap chainwheels all of the time without, obviously changing the other sprocket or chain. It may reduce chain wear, but one has to offset the cost of the chain for it to make sense. Materials also matter a lot. Steel lasts SO much longer. My track bikes got 5k miles like clockwork, regardless of great care. Also, people have different levels of tolerance for smoothness, adjustments, etc. Never give up. Never surrender. 🙂
  9. Those are the standard Chinese kiddo made ones. I also have them on nearly all of my bikes. I did try an alternative on the '00.
  10. Lovely. I can't even keep mine clean. 🙂
  11. You don't see that bike in the background...sounds like a vision/focus issue. 🙂
  12. Absolutely in love with all of my RoadSmarts.
  13. That's a pretty schlong last name.
  14. Increasing the powers! lol Mostly for Captain! https://www.bikeexif.com/motorcycle-with-car-engine
  15. My medium Bohn adventure jacket with oversized shoulder armor arrived today and it is excellent! https://bohnarmor.com/product/airtex-adventure-shirt-with-chest-armor/

    For Us Dreamers

    Wanted forever...will likely never have any ever. 🙂
  17. Flex them a little and see if they move like intended...or if they "dustify!"
  18. Current stock? Maybe they used old stock pads. OEM pads are pretty crappy...i've "powdered" many of them. It isn't right, but it is. Most never even check them...but they'll find out if they need them! I still put them in my gear, but generally wear a mesh shell with real armor under everything but my Vanson gear, which has excellent armor that stays in place. It burns me up that they put crap armor in cordura, then let it flop all over in there, no where near our hard parts.
  19. All pads of that era do that. Pads aren't lifetime use. Bohn makes nice ones I just put in mine.

    Clip-ons

    In my life, I can recall one time that a fastener with a torque setting "just came loose" after being torqued properly. Once. And I'm 100% anti lock-tite, so I use it on nothing.
  21. I safety wired mine on years ago. Works fine. 🙂
  22. I'm not saying it doesn't need to be done...but I don't buy anything with corrosion or bad tanks. Even after many miles...that stuff seems to last forever if cared for. Or...I'm just lazy.
  23. Any pics of the pistons? I'm curious what was wrong with them as I've never needed to replace pistons (or O-rings, for that matter) in a caliper.
  24. Really? You can't do that and not tell us what the car is and share pics! Mean, mean VFR rider!
