    They leave motorcycles alone in NJ. They would dare want to be responsible for scratching someone’s tank or spilling gas, lol but the credit card thing can be different from stations to station…in and out, swipe, wait until it tells you to remove card…it has caught me off guard when I do pump myself…

    just to comment on your costco experience...here in NJ, they are fueling 16 cars at a time, the Trucks come 6 times a day to refill tanks. They have the lowest prices in the area

    i'm sure you can create your own...the height is 20mm (.8"), maybe some rubber grommets along with multiple washers....the seat is also held up with the slot in the front of the saddle

    Agree on the back thing...make sure ground is level...put a pair of boots on, you want that rigid sole, put all your weight on stand and find a spot to grab on and pull up at the same time, I grab frame right above passenger foot rests. It’s a challenge. I found getting my old ST100 easier to get up on stand...had a swing out handle to lift from.

    stock setting is seven clicks in, most drop that to 3-4 for one up riding so stock setting plus 3 might be a good place to start

    Should also come with reflectors to mount on the sides if you want

    copied and pasted from my US 2014 Deluxe manual Tank capacity Unleaded petrol Recommended: 91 RON or higher 21.2 litres (5.60 US gal, 4.66 Imp gal)

    Can’t raise it much more that 1.25”, so motopumps would be the choice I suppose

    I agree....I guess that’s why the baby boomers are riding cruisers instead of sport bikes...I guess people like you and I just don’t see ourselves there.....yet! Lol. I went from a 92 ST1100 because it was just to heavy, to a vintage 92 FJ1200ABS that was also a little on the heavy side and becoming outdated to the VFR..

    Corbin will carve out the seat to make it deeper and raise the nose to prevent you from sliding forward, helps to sit up a bit and take the pressure off wrists

    It’s his bike right? Is he comfortable?

    Don’t let that get to you..I too have used amsoil. Cars, truck motorcycle for over 20 years, hi mileage vehicles, very extended drain intervals.....NEVER had a mechanical issue that was associated with lubrication, engine or drivetrain.

    Whoa...I think I paid 800 for the pearl white ones along with the two locks. The good news on the locks, first one took an hour....second one, 5 minutes.

    Did the same thing..between that and the motsport risers...what a difference
