My spare front seat is a Seth Laam modified seat and is in very good condition and much more comfortable than OEM. Seth's present price to redo a front seat is $349, built on your seat pan. I can sell you this one for $200, but need your OEM seat as a spare. This saves you time waiting for the...

I had the pleasure of taking demo rides on the new 2018 Honda Gold Wings today, both the 6 speed and the DCT models and have to say that they are both fantastic motorcycles. The DCT tour model especially was an incredible ride. The front suspension is unbelievably smooth. I could see the...

I have my rear seat removed and have the OEM plastic rack in the lowered position. so that it is level with the plastic platform under the rear seat. Does anybody know if the SW Motech rear rack can be mounted in the lower position like that? Thanks. EDIT: I called Twisted Throttle and they...

My son David recently got one of the last Harmonizers available before the manufacturer, Grok on the adv forum, passed away. Today I made this video to send him to show him how to use it to check and adjust the throttle body sync on his 2014 ES. The same principle applies regardless of the...

Rode one today at Niehaus Cycles in Litchfield, IL. Briefly, I will say that this is one very fun motorcycle! I am on my second S10, a 14 ES that I love and this AT really impressed me. It felt so light and flickable and handled great on the few sweepers that I had it on. The rest of the 20 mile...

In another thread I read a comment by EricV about being on his second OEM shock thanks to a forum member. Then I recalled that I had an OEM shock that I took off of my 2012 S10 with 10,000 miles on it when I first put a Penske shock on it and later an Ohlins shock. I have a 14 ES now and so...

Another cool video from Yamaha. I just wonder what this and the flat track DT07 concept might be leading up to. http://youtu.be/nYcuFlFLNXM

My dealer got a new YZX1000R and I got to take a ride today. This is the new 4 wheel hot rod that Yamaha came out with recently. It has a 3 cylinder engine and very long suspension. I drove it around the parking lot Saturday and today the shop owner, Brad Niehaus took me and a friend for demo...

My son David (DaveZ12 on the forum) got a 14 ES this summer. Last month, while visiting him, I thought I would show him a few tricks that we "experts" have learned, starting with how to remove and replace the rear wheel. Many of us struggled with removing that wheel the first time we did it...

My son just got a 2014 ES with 1700 miles on it. This Altrider rack was on it for just a part of those miles and looks like it never had anything on it as it is in very good condition. He is using a different setup, so this is for sale. $180 includes shipping in CONUS. Paypal or check works for...

I had the pleasure of spending a great couple of days with a yst forum icon, legend, and all around good guy, Mr. Snakebitten. He is still on his way home from the Romney, WV rally and lately had been working at Indianapolis, IN. When I read that he was foolishly considering spending the weekend...
