Cycle Gear has a sale on Frank Thomas gear. Is it any good? Alpinestars and Dianese has the reputation, but is it just marketing? I need to find good quality, hot-weather gear and I'm thinking mesh jacket and pants. Temps frequently rise into the 100's here, with 110+++ not out of the...

Does anyone know if a 2006 Yamaha FZ1 Gel Seat will fit our bikes? I found one locally.

Not sure how many of you have kids, but wifey and I just hosted an "Autobody and Drive-in Movie Night". We had our kids deliver invitations to the neighborhood kids (and parents) instructing them to bring a large cardboard box to turn into a car; this was the "Autobody" phase. If you know...

Why do engine manufacturers recommend changing the oil every 3 months? How does the length of time that oil remains in an engine change the protective quality of that oil? I understand how quantitative hours ran on an engine can effect the overall quality of oil by consuming or contaminating...

My better half has been seeing how much fun I have and is considering getting into the maniacle world of motorcycling. I've been looking, and it seems that Kawasaki is the only manufacturer that actually makes bikes truely geared for newbies. The 250 and 500 "Ninja" all seem like great starter...

For myself, the fun part of this forum is getting ideas on customizing my bike. Example: I would have never thought of putting the remote garage door opener in the fake button next to the turn signal. IMO, that is freakin brilliant! So, in addition to doing all my own maintenance, this winter...

I need to buy a torque wrench. What size do you all recommend? 3/8", 1/2" etc. I have sockets for both sizes of ratches so it doesn't matter, just wondering what works best. Are there opinions on digital or click-type? What about manufacturer? This is probably where I will shy away from...
