FOUND.....OEM Clutch lever for Triumph Street Triple Anyone replace their OEM levers and still have them laying around? Looking for the clutch lever, any lever for ‘13 to ‘16 should work. Need the one with the adjustment dial....don’t need the whole perch. Thanks!

Have some parts to fit the ‘12 to ‘16 Ninja 650...(ignore the shock at 9:00) Lose that never-used back seat and add this factory-made seat cowl. Retail is $214, yours for $100. Comes in factory Red but easily painted to match your color. This is NOT the eBay junk that clips to the seat...

Bought this last year from a BARFer with intentions to track it but..... back surgery last year put the kibosh to that plan - so it’s up for sale. 2000 Yamaha YZF-R6 with 20,560 miles. In good condition, mostly in stock form. Set up for the track but could be easily returned to Street mode...

Anyone see more info on Kawasaki’s new ZX-25R (with two different horsepower outputs!) four cylinder 250s? https://www.visordown.com/news/new-bikes/new-kawasaki-zx-25r-sportsbike-be-sold-two-power-variants And...

Been trying to replace the POS stock shock on a ‘12 Ninja650... the R1 substitute wouldn’t work, now I’ve got an made for ‘12-‘16 Ninja 3-way Elka shock with:cool remote preload/reservoir (length/eyes match, was on a 2011 ( Ninja that was a racer) but the damn reservoir precludes mounting it...

Tried getting the photo to display to no avail... https://m.imgur.com/gallery/7E7BGfz I’m doing a shock swap and the one thing left is to enlarge the I.D. of the bushing* shown from 10.5mm to 12mm. Looking for a shop in the Bay Area that can mill/drill out the bushing*. It just holds the...

This perfect riding weather demands some mid-week fun! Looking to meet some of my fellow Diablo Valley (or anywhere, really) BARFers for a run this Thursday through Marsh Creek/Morgan Territory Rds to Mines Road and on to the Junction for Lunch. Maybe through Anderson Valley toward Mt Ham and...

I swear, the parts are coming from Partzilla next week! :ride

Looking for a local paint/body shop with fair pricing for non-insurance* job. Job is fixing a Door ding/scratch (6”x2”) on a ‘04 Honda and replacing the rub trim. * near zero-speed high school parking lot get-together. Both parties paying cash. Appreciate your suggestions. Bob

So, looking to put in a set of Bridgestone S21 tires and while looking at 90degree stems I ran across these Dyna Beads at Jake Wilson. Read a bunch and it seems a lot like them, even some installers said good things. Only noted neg appears to be them sticking in valve-stems causing issues when...

Any other BARFers going on Monday? I'll be in the North covered area, gold Wrangler hard-top, U-Haul trailer, Black Ninja #77. Say Hello. Forecast is 108 :flame. Start hydrating now and watch your tire temps! Bob

I'm looking for someone to reshape my seat a little bit. The oem seat (Ninja650) slopes forward toward the tank too much causing me to scoot my butt back frequently. I'd like to have foam added up front to flatten it out/make the front higher. I'm in the East Bay but anywhere in the area is...

So happy to be back on a Moto after years of work and raising two kids! Live in the East Bay and ride the out-of-the-way roads tucked away within 100 miles from home. Looking forward to Summer, BARF Group Rides and a TrackDay later this year. Bob
