Or, you could replace your stubby and annoyingly hard to reach OEM rubber stems with the easily reached 90 degree steel ones I posted 2 years ago, and not have to carry around any just-in-case band-aid solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. Unlike your statement when we...

Ok I think all of the stuff is spoken for. Got yer monies Mr. Involute! I lived in the SFBA in the early 90's...moved there shortly after the quake. In those young and foolish times I was a Sunday Morning Ride regular. I loved it out there...would have never left, but for a girl in Pittsburgh.

Ok I secured the oem screen for you. Please send rhe PayPal to davearkle@gmail.com for the $250 and I'll get the stuff out for you.

Hi there Involute! I think the other stuff is sold, but it is possible that the buyer won't care about a stock screen. I'll ask and we'll figure it out. If I can wrangle it away from the other guy, I'd go $250 shipped for the shock and the stock screen. Let me know, and I'll update here shortly.

It's ok, I sympathize! :) There is no 'everything shipped' option. The shock is $210 shipped. The other stuff is pick-up only. I might consider packing up the various rack stuff and shipping that if someone wanted it badly enough, but windshields are waaay too much of a hassle. I'll get all...

ALL SOLD! I bought this for my ex-Tenere, but I hit a cow and destroyed it before I ever got to install it. This is an OEM shock with a Hyperco 1100 pound spring on it. If you ride 2-up, or for whatever other reason you have to have your preload turned all the way up just to get close on sag...

Long gone to insurance company heaven.

There is no cow pasture adjacent to the crash site. The picture is in the tow yard. 25 miles away.

Thanks. It's not hard technically, but it is a great deal of work that I don't have the time or inclination to do.

No, haven't located the farmer yet. I was wearing a Shoei Neotec lid, Klim Latitude pants and jacket with the 3DO armor, Sidi Deep rain boots, and Bilt Trophy gloves. Of note here is that in the past I've been the first person to call out Cycle Gear for their shitty Bilt and Sedici gear, but it...

I had the Heed bars on my bike, and a couple of weeks ago I hit a cow at about 50, and the bike tumbled and skidded a bunch, ending up with about a 60'slide on one side. Both bars took multiple impacts,a dn either were deflected, or bent in any tangible way. The right side bar is ground flat rom...

Well, eventually all good things must come to an end. For me, The End manifested itself thus: I was in the middle of the Mason Dixon 2020 Rally a couple of weeks ago. It was about 9:00pm, not cold, but raining, and things were good. I was in rural NC about 20 miles West of Statesville, and 750...

This is kinda random, but I wanted to offer some advice for anyone who reads this really great thread and decides to go RV shopping. RVs depreciate like food, and at MSPR they have massive margins. Never, and I mean never, pay any price that is anywhere remotely close to the sticker price. If...

This seems like a reasonable alternative. The issue would be to have a way that the OP and anyone who replies to the thread pre-move get notified in some fashion, to avoid 'hey, where did that thread go; it was just here, I know it!' issues. Even as I type that, it doesn't really seem doable in...

tl;dr - The relentless moving of threads from the 'discussion' forum to specific sub-forums makes for a dreadful forum browsing experience, and is the primary reason I don't frequent the place. I do greatly appreciate the dedication to moderating the forum, no doubt about that. Please take this...
