Half the time it doesent even make sense My house , life and car insurance are with co-operators who i have been with for 35 years and clean record they wanted 1700 dollars a year for my bike libility only yet my buddy just walks through the door and gets his 84 vr insured for 650 go figure. I got my bike insured through kingsway for 600 per year

Have heart it may not be as bad as it looks I found this out with my own which i am currantly repairing . You may remmember i was run off the road last summer. my dash was also off center just like yours i replaced the instrument cluster support with one that bongobob was kind enough to give me the fairng supports were bowed slightly off center put were easy to pull back into position. I did however have to take apart the instrument cluster and repair the main case with plastex which worked fantastic. My fairngs i repaired with plastex and sections cut from another fairing. the plastex does a perfect weld job for this purpose and sands down to were you dont even notice it. Ps I dont know about the usa but in canada the fairings can be ordered new for About $600 and all the consul pcs were available as well.

Canada & America Needs A Leader Like This!
saddlebum replied to Ferrantelli's topic in Watering Hole
how come we cant get politicians with this amount of back bone. One of or politicians even went so far as covering his head with a hanky and bowing before a muslim leader when it should have been the other way around since this panzi was our primeminister at the time. -

Sorry to hear you went down . I ride with my daughter all the time and going down with her on the back is always a worry. The day I did go down I was glad it was the day my daughter was not with me. On that note I am glad your daughter walked away from it. and hope you heal up quick.

My 1st gen has dunlop elite II 491's on it but they are coming due they have had excellent wear and ride but I wondered if the avons gave better road traction specially in the rain. since the wheels are off and I am rebuilding the bike from the accident I decided to replace tires and wheel bearings while they were off. just having trouble deciding on which tire.
