I see. THAT makes more sense. Glad to hear ya'll figured out the correct way to set the mileage. Yes I have a print out and that's all I have besides the potential hypothetical buyer calling and asking the dealership. I'm probably just putting a traction control button on the bike and...

Hi, Mine went bad last year around mile 14,000. I park in garage etc. So, they replaced the cluster good faith or whatever its called. He told me a couple things about the cluster. The dealership price is half of our price, $540 or so. Also, the manufacturer paid the "dealers price" to my...

I did for years, a lot of money as tracks are private here and require membership. Open track nights are just drag nights and I’m not lining up next to some kids b16a rust bucket Honda running no cage because he lifts at the last second to avoid being booted from the track for having no cage...

So by skrrrrt you mean it got on the header enough to cause some chaos? When you say raised do you mean by adjusting preload?

yeh just stated a simple question cuz when i interacted in that thread my autistic moron i am didn't get many answers, nice of you to look up my original thread ty. Do you have anything to add to this thread based on your experience? I know its pretty hefty experience as you've done a lot of...

I’ll take any big thumper for public road racing. I’d rather lay down a 370lb dripping wet 701 at half the price and near half the weight of the FTR too, if my stupidity were to catch up with me one day on my public roads. I’m not paying $5,000/year just to tell people I belong to a track...

Have you ever had your foot controls dragging on this FTR 1200?

Does Gilles offer a longer extension piece that’s a direct replacement part for RG-A-02? You’ll notice in one side it’s listed as black the other as red. I order the Gilles Indian parts through motovation and just indicate what anodizing color I need. (I already broke,wore out, grinded down...

Anyone know who makes a front sprocket nut for FTR besides Gilles? Gilles doesn’t list it as gold anodized. I’m looking for a gold front drive sprocket safety nut, in titanium 5 or better I would assume. I swear I saw a post one time with pictures of a 24x1.5 safety nut for motorcycle front...

I’m 6 trips deep in my life by road and I’ve hiked every named mountain in the Smokies and surrounding region. It’s pretty neat area and my polish immigrant ancestors oxen built cabin is out there on my 200+ year old ancestral land. It’s also been inhabited all that time, currently by a nice...

Yeh it’s not Wyoming or CO. I dunno I prefer the Smokies and Michigans glacier landscapes. Back in my backpacking homeless guy years of my youth I climbed more elevation per trip cumulatively in Michigan than I did on a Ranier or Circque du Towers trip…. People just flap their little wings...

Do y’all rely on these peg feelers on the FTR? She sure feels like she’ll keep going unlike my other bikes that kinda firm up before they run outta tire. Just curious anyone scraping peg feelers? I don’t normally ride shitty rubber on heavy bikes like this but the FTR is really stable and I’m...

Totally agree hanging off the bike works to reduce lean angle. Just curious if anyone uses these peg feelers mainly. I been riding 20 years and less lean less risk for sure but I’m 150lbs lol. When I hang off a 500-600lb bike with 19/18 tall ass tires it don’t do much besides stabilize and...

It snapped off about the same time the headers started scuffing. Dunno. Do they scrape for you or does the bike go wayyyy to far on the rubber before they reach? There's not much to hit but there's a couple short sections of ruptured pavement on the tail. Not sure what happened tbh just spit...
