  1. Thanks Rick! That’s exactly what I planned on doing is calling tomorrow. I thought for sure there was a vented option in the past. I have a buddy who might also be interested so maybe they’ll be more keen on doing more than one.
  2. Hi All, I swear I've seen a topic of this, but I'm not getting any love searching. What's a good replacement for a first gen? I see the Clearview with the vent and that looks awesome to me but they don't have one for a first gen. any suggestions? I currently have one of those big tall and wide tinted screens, but the time has come that it's so weathered I can no longer safely see through it.
  3. Thanks I’ll let him know. I’m going to tempt him into @skydoc_17 delink kit with clutch line replacement
  4. @saddlebum that sounds exactly like @GreenSauce problem. He called me at a fuel stop but it was an extended stop for phone call when food / whatnot so the bike had time to cool and when he got back on the road it was fine again.
  5. He made It to Rapid city without problems, we chatted on the phone almost the entire way, he was in heavy rain earlier and once things dried out the clutch worked fine….we are thinking moisture and low boiling point in the fluid
  6. He’s in Kadoka attempting to make it to Rapid City tonight if anyone is in that area
  7. Hey Strangers…I hope all is well as I’ve been otherwise occupied and not on much. I gave a new coworker and friend @GreenSauce the pleasure of borrowing my beloved 87VR…he fell in love and flew from Utah to Iowa yesterday to buy a 92 and ride it back home to Utah. He’s about 700 miles into the trip and called saying the clutch felt soft and didn’t want to shift down on the highway and had further trouble shifting while exiting. Got to the gas pump and after fill up he says it’s now gripping hard and even wanting to pull with clutch lever fully pulled in. I think I thought I read about this but a search didn’t pull up any quick results. He says the fluid is still half sight glass but looks dirtier than when he started. Ideas? Thanks!
  8. Too bad these turned out horrible…I fell asleep on the couch and crisped them too far 😫
  9. She hasn’t been organized yet…but I think you’re right. It’s gonna stay a mess
  10. From single to triple bay, slight custom mod needed but I’m happy for $400.
  11. Love to this! I’m changing my tires on my sport bike for the first time in probably 15 years…they look good and feel good both riding and by touching them but something in me this year said to swap them out. I didn’t ride for many years so she just sat stagnant. When I picked up riding again two years ago I was like these seem brand new. They gripped and held but it’s time.
  12. For that reason I bought the Dunlops from my local dealer instead of online.
  13. Beautiful! If you’re still there do yourself a favor and walk through the bottom and look up. It’s an entirely different experience walking through the hodo than looking down on them.
  14. To be fair I was about to order from Amazon so they could be counterfeit…but still all the more reason to pay attention. Counterfeit Chinese tires are even more scary than production😬
  15. I was just about to push the button on a new set of Pirelli Diablo for the duckie when I noticed the rear was stamped “Made in China”. Sorry but not trusting my life to that. Ended up going with Dunlops made in Japan.
  16. First thought is thrown wheel weight, second bent rim.
  17. I ordered these…here’s to hoping 🤞 https://www.tallmenshoes.com/products/elevator-shoes-s4039
  18. Here’s to a speedy recovery!
  19. I don’t have much comparison as this is my only set on the VR since it’s new to me but I’m really enjoying the Shinko 777
  20. Rick Buttler. Does that ring a bell?
  21. On one hand I say why? On the other I say why not?
  22. Anybody have any advice for helping out short leg riders reach the ground? I’ve got an 87 VR and love it. Problem is I have a 30” inseam and when I have the wifey with me I’m very unstable at stops, esp off camber intersections. I’m looking into boots with thicker soles but any suggestions are welcome. I don’t really want to modify the bikes suspension as I want it to perform as designed. I have an aftermarket Corbin seat that I wouldn’t mind having chopped if necessary.
