Yesterday was amazing weather, so I decided to go for a ride. I checked the air pressure in both my tires and put the swing arm stand in place to clean and lube the chain. As I am spinning the tire and wiping down the chain I notice that the chain is not riding on or near the chain guide on the...

I did two pulls on the dyno today to get my baseline numbers before replacing the exhaust and adding the Juicebox. Attached is a picture of my dyno graph.
I will be doing the mods this weekend (hopefully). In two weeks or so I will post up the second graph.

Thanks in advance for all your opinions.
So I ordered a Puig Racing windshield from Indysuperbikes and received it earlier this week. I opened the box and everything looked good. So I take off the stock one and try to fit the new one. The holes don't line up and even if they did the windshield would interfere with the handlebars. I...
So has anyone found or installed a steering damper on their 6R? I would like to put one on once the weather starts to get bad (since I won't be riding in snow!) Anything specific to look for?
So I currently own a Joe Rocket Mesh jacket and pants. I am a school teacher and use my bike to commute to work and college. Is heated gear best (pants, vest, maybe gloves)? Or should I just keep adding layers. I currently wear khakis, Joe Rocket (Atomic) Mesh pants, t-shirt, dress shirt, sweat...
This is a video of a ride I try to do at least once a week. I'm shooting from the handlebars using a Hero Wide camera.
Note: The guy I passed waved me around. I wasn't just being impatient.
