My newest is my new to me Corbin leather seat. I am really liking it especially the backrest..... I can see that the backrest is keeping me a little more forward than I am used to so will have to see if I take it off for some of the time when on a long ride.... Brian

I thought this was a brilliant but totally unworkable solution since the powerbase would never buy it.... The Fix There recently was an article in the St. Petersburg, Florida Times. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on: "How Would You Fix the Economy?" I think this guy nailed it...

Hi all, I have a fairing in the yard that I am dying to put out in the alley next to the trash dumpster, but first I want to make a quick offer to anyone here for bits from it. The best way to do this I think is for you to PM me for bits you need and I will PM back whether or not I have that...

Has anyone made or know where to find a remote oil filter adaptor to lose the cast cover, etc. TIA Brian in NM

So I am wondering if anyone has put any kind of belly pan or bash plate under their wing? I am thinking about making and installing an aluminum one at least under the front portion to protect the filter housing and water pump casing. No point in re-inventing the wheel if anyone has done it...

So when I am viewing posts, there are some weird hieroglyphs under everyones profile pics....there are a varying number of little boxes and in each there is the number 26 over the numbers 05. Obviously there should be something else there but ....whut???? :help: Brian
