We occasionally get abandoned cars dumped on our street. Sometimes the city will have it taken away in a day or two if you call it in, sometimes they don't show up unless you call multiple times over a few days. I'm guessing the ones that are taken away immediately are reported stolen. Is...

Last time I was at t-hill, almost a year ago, my brakes had some issues. The MC was weeping fluid out of the lid (factory brakes, square cast type reservoir). I thought I overfilled it so I took some fluid out. Still had the issue. Main problem was by the end of the session the lever was...

Looking for a set for my spare wheel.

I'm debating between getting the 'Rain" version of either the SIDI Vertigo of Cobra. Wondering if the rain versions are too hot or whatever if I don't really ride in the rain much. They advertise them as 'breathable', but I'm wondering if they'll feel like wool sweaters on my feet for 90% of...

This thing is pretty beat, but it runs fine, tows a motorcycle trailer and all your gear. If you're under 6' you can fold down the rear seats and sleep in the back track side. This was the first year of the V90, it's basically the last year of the 960 but they changed the name to match their...

Less than 10k miles on them, good as new. I got them for my f4i but they also fit the bikes listed below (double check fitment for your bike on race tech's web site). Includes new uncut space material from race tech and stickers etc that come in the box when you buy them new. $75 obo This...

My F4i's MC is weeping, instead of rebuilding it I want to pop on the unit from a 929rr which is supposed to be an upgrade. Might also be interested in other radial style MC's if it will fit my F4i.

I recall there was some definitive information on here about switching between sintered pads and organics, and when you need to resurface your rotors. I can't find it. Anyhow a member on here gave me a set of Ferodo CP211's a while back and I liked using them the last time I was on the track...

I finished measuring all my valve clearances right at 5p, of course when all the shops are closed. Does anyone know a shop that's open Sundays in the E.Bay that has CBR shims? Bike is a 2001 F4i.

Heading out to Lake Almanor for some camping tomorrow from Oakland. I've never been up that way, looking for route suggestions for some nice twisty roads to the lake. I'm on a CBR and my buddy is on a Wee-strom so not looking for anything too goaty. We'll be departing mid-morning and want to...

I put racetech springs in my F4i a while back. When I went to the track, Dave Moss said my preload was way off and had me cut the spacers I put down like by half. After that he was having trouble baselining it because he wasn't sure how tall my spacers are. He mentioned something about the...

Cleaning out the garage: F2: New fork seal kit - $15 SS exhaust hanger for aftermarket slipon - free headlight - free F4i- OEM windshield. Non-professional tint job and scratches/blemishes but no cracks. $10 No one turned away for lack of funds.

I've got a Johnson's 2 pc and it's full of T-pro but it doesn't have the chest protection. A friend of mine landed in the ICU this weekend with a punctured lung after a wreck so that got me thinking about getting the extra armour put in. The chest specific padding isn't shown on their website...

Can someone recommend a shop in Oakland/Emeryville to get my tires mounted and balanced for cheap? I work near Ashby and live near Macarthur BART. I wanted to hit Mototireguy in SF but it's kind of a haul for me to get out to SF.

We have a small fleet of Ford F-250's, from around 2000-2002 vintage. Both 2wd and 4wd, gas and diesel. Can someone recommend a shop local to Berkeley/Oakland/Emeryville to get things like alignment and random oil leaks taken care of? Just noticed my title says F-150... they are in fact...

My F4i is making a new rattle above 6k RPM. Figure it's the CCT since the bike has 21k on it now. The OEM CCT also weeps a bit of oil. I might do a trip to SoCal this weekend so I want to replace it this weekend. Does anyone know a shop local to Oakland or SF that would have it in stock this...

Looked like a silver ex500. Situation handled by chp and caltrans. Be careful out there folks, holiday shoppers drive like assholes.

This isn't a motorcycle question, but I know some of you do fiberglass work. I'm looking for a local shop that sells Polyester resin at a decent price. I need over 5 gallons of it. I'm using it to make a thick (1/4"+) clear coat on a wood dining table. TAP Plastic's prices are rediculous...

Is it ok to measure your sag with the bike on a rear stand? I don't have one of those sport chocks. I couldn't figure out how to have the bike stabilized with me on it, and a friend with a measure tape.

I have a set of new Galfer brake lines for an F2. I sold that bike and I just put them on my F4i. Everything fits. I need a dummy check to make sure I'm not missing anything, anyone know if there's a difference? Galfer lists a different part number for the two bikes. I'm guessing they're...
