Question re aftermarket handlebars: I've already rolled the stock bars slightly to the rear which helped me with reach to the bars. Stock bar width and height are fine. I'd just like to get them 1 - 1 1/2" closer to me. Any suggestions (brand and price?)

The stock saddle doesn't provide me with the amount of support I'd like under my thighs. Even though the saddle appears to be flat, when viewed with the bike on the center stand, it feels like it leans low in the front, or simply doesn't provide the support I'd like. Suggestions ?

On a positive note, I installed a set of adjustable foot pegs yesterday, and have them adjusted so they drop the pegs possibly 1/2 - 3/4", and put them forward about the same amount. Not a lot, but noticeable. I think they'll work for me.

Well, time to get new tires on the R100GS today, so it's off to the garage to remove wheels and take them to the dealer. Installing 2nd set of Metzeler Tourance Next tires. They're slanted toward touring (90%) and off pavement (10%)

Those of you who have had custom paint and body work done on your CB by quality professionals, what kinds of costs did you encounter? Gas tank paint jobs, side cover paint, ect. This is on my agenda, so I need to get a baseline for what's fair before going into it.

I’m riding over from PHX, any CB going to cross border Friday early AM?

Well, not really "identify." I know it's a CB900F. What i'm curious about is where/when were they ever released with these rad fairings on the front? I keep seeing pictures of the black/orange model specifically with this half fairing and i'm wondering if they were just a popular aftermarket mod or if the bike came from the factory this way at some point.

Hello, Long time lurker. I've got 6000 miles of bliss on my CB since I bought it last year.

I am trying to diagnose brake issues. I had distorted rotors that would cause knocking at high speeds. I bought some Ebay take offs and replaced my pads with EBCs. This took care of the issue. But I can not get the same bite as I did before.

I am avoiding dumping money on new rotors and honda pads. About $500.

I recently bled my brakes and clutch and this improved the feel of the lever but I still don't have the bite.

Some have suggested just panic braking a couple of times to get the rotor to clean up.

What do you guys think?

Does anybody make a low dust brake pad for a 2014 Standard?

I saw this 2013 today in Sunset Beach in Treasure Island Florida today. Does it belong to anyone on this site?

My wife and I went to the Meltdown in Hendersonville NC and saw many nice bikes and many of my riding buddies. It was perfect weather and afterwards a nice meal and beer at the Sierra Nevada Brewery.

Hello,

I have a [url=https://www.sears.com/craftsman-professional-1500-lb-motorcycle-atv-jack/p-00950191000P?ef_id=EAIaIQobChMIgq2-pO_w4QIVFdlkCh1kuA7AEAQYASABEgK6svD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!8592!3!317853285778!!!g!525640642020!&sid=IDx01192011x000001x1651384318&utm_campaign=9032956&utm_group=62569197599-317853285778&utm_term=pla-525640642020&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgq2-pO_w4QIVFdlkCh1kuA7AEAQYASABEgK6svD_BwE]Craftsman MC / ATV jack (the yellow one) that's probably about 12 years old. It had been working fine until yesterday when I raised my KLR650...but then it wouldn't lower. Now it has been several months if not half a year since I used the jack, but if I remember right, to lower mc, you raise it slightly, then push up on lock bar so that it sets in the clasps, turn counter clockwise and it lowers...this time...nada. I took the handle off and it appears that something isn't engaging the piston. Had to pull the mc off the jack to get it down...kind of trick but got off w/out damaging anything. What am I asking....???

Anybody every have anything similar happen and what to do to troubleshoot? I've seen a few things online, but nothing really that I can pinpoint and say, ah there's the problem... a number of guys said to just buy a new one.

I know there are various different posts talking about suspension modifications, but I am asking for a summary on the topic of Ohlins rear shocks because this is what I would like to install on my 2014 Dlx. I have an Ohlins shock on my VFR800 and I really like it. Can you guys who have installed Ohlins shocks on your bike please reply?

1. What model Ohlins shocks did you buy?
2. Where did you purchase them?
3. Are you happy with the Ohlins shocks (any comments are appreciated).
4.Will the Ohlins shocks with the piggy back reservoirs have any installation issues if my bike has a factory, Honda luggage rack?

Thank you.
