RE: long objects (repost?)
I'm not sure this got to you guys. If it did, awfully sorry... From: Brandon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: long objects There are some companies that make rifle holders that you can bolt to your bike with brackets. It would seem that a little adjustment to the racks and you could carry the foils with ease. Or pool sticks, fishing rods, rifler., 9 irons...;^) Brandon - Gil Hillman wrote: Does anyone have any ideas on how to transport long, light objects (in my Well, rifle-toting bikers are not quite common around here, but being a pro photographer, I had fashioned a similar rig for my bigger tripods on my older bike, which I used every day at work just like the GTS. I took the pvc tubing approach already mentioned, with a latching system attaching to the passenger's foot peg handle (no, SHE doesn't get to come with me on photo shoots). About 30 seconds to install or remove, then I threw my big camera bag in the Givi top case and I was off. Always got to the shoot in style, and first at the lab! - well, except when it rained cats and dogs. Took the cage then. You know, for the dogs. I'm a cat person. Later, Roberto.
RE: passenger pegs
So how do you ride ? With the balls of your foot on the pegs, or your arch ? (in the middle) ? I ride with the peg positioned on the arch, in the middle. I have never had a problem with my wife or kids, but then I "only" have a size 10 shoe. -Original Message- I have a question for all of you two-uppers out there: How in the world did you solve the problem of keeping your significant other's foot off the exhaust? Don't know about others, but after a couple hours on the bike, I'll ride with anything on the peg (yes, ANYTHING I said, SA's), switching foot positions once in a while to stretch them a bit,and I've met that problem too. Usually I -and most others, I suspect- place the arch on the peg for slow, casual riding, then move to the ball of the foot purely on instinct when increasing speed or bank. Most of my right shoes have a wedge worn off the front/side area, and my tires tend to show a bit more wear on the right, too. Maybe that's because I'm chicken, but giving the circumstances, it's just as well for me. I'm about to fashion some kind of rest/platform/separator to install to the peg, I'll let you have a pic when I'm done. I'm all for moto-specific boots, but for a quick saturday hop to the beach with "the boss" on the back, hey, if any of you guys can talk her into wearing them, I'm ready to buy you a cool shellfish dinner. Oysters, anyone? Roberto.

Fluffing RE: tires again
What?!?!? Going too fast?? No such thing. To really appreciate the GTS finer qualities you NEED take a 30 MPH (48.28032 KPH) Corner at 60-70 MPH (96.56064-112.6541 KPH) with a slight wash board (ripples in the road). Wha Hoo! The GTS eats those corners up. I often find myself thinking after the corners " mmm. Now where did that guy on the ZX9 go to? He is not in my mirror any more" Next you will be say stuff like the 'Busa has too much power. @=) Enjoy, Garrett Welch Happiness is the journey, not the destination.

RE: tires again
Speaking of tires. A ST1100 friend of mine called Bridgestone about the number change (BT010 = BT57, Etc...). As they were cheating the representative said that he did not have a direct replacement to his tire. "I do not understand?" ST'er said "you said you make the size" The rep said that ABS equipped bikes have a different tire then non ABS bikes. The tire will have a "G" letter behind the tire size. (example 180/55R17G) When I asked what was the difference, my ST buddy said he did not ask. Anyone heard of this one? Enjoy, Garrett Welch Happiness is the journey, not the destination.

RE: passenger pegs
To resolve the problem, I got a Chinese girlfriend. She wear a size 2.5 shoes, so she have plenty of room ;-) Richard -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Douglass McIntosh Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2000 1:45 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: passenger pegs I have a question for all of you two-uppers out there: How in the world did you solve the problem of keeping your significant other's foot off the exhaust? Let me explain if I am being too cryptic: Last weekend my girlfriend and I were riding around the hill country and she was unable to have much fun after a while because of the placement of her right foot. I have a size 13 foot, and that doesn't leave much room for her foot forward of the peg. Rearwards, her shoe would touch and burn on the muffler. So, she would turn her foot outwards, but that's a pain after 100 miles or so. So the question is, are we doomed, or can I find, say, foot boards that can be adapted to the GTS, or is there another way you guys have figured out? As things stand, it puts a damper on our long range touring plans.

Speedbleeders
Hey everyone! Checking in from sunny Seattle...Blue Angels doing their thing during Seafair. Good time to be here. I have a question about using the Speedbleeders. I ordered two of them and I assume the proper way to change brake fluid after installing the Speedbleeders is to open the fluid reservoir, begin pumping the brake and pour in new brake fluid until the color of what's coming out the Speedbleeder clear hose is the same color as the new fluid. Voila! No air bubbles and nice new fluid! Is that about it? I presume using this technique I'd need a bit more fluid to "clean out" the old. One other related question. I've read in past postings that people have bought 3 of the Speedbleeders and the third is used to change clutch fluid? I've only got 2. So I presume once I seal the brake resevoir I could take one of the Speedbleeders off and screw the original part back on without losing fluid. Am I correct about the third clutch nipple? Is it good to change with the brake fluid or just leave well enough alone. Bike has about 12,500 miles on it. Thanks Mike

Actually, you'll need four. One on the front caliper, two on the rear and one for the clutch. Yes, your technique should be fine except you should remove the front wheel and elevate the caliper.

Re: Auxillary Ligts
I have the Saeng/TA nightcutters on my GTS. I like the light produced alot. The mounts I don't care for very much. I am going to rework them sometime next week. Saeng does not have a "factory" mount ready for you to buy you will have to tell them what you want to do as far as mounting goes. When I get mine reworked I will post pictures. Oh, no problem with the electrical system as long as you use stock 55 watt bulbs in the lights, change to 100 watt bulbs and you might have problems. Jason, I thought you had PIAA 1400's. Anyway, I also have a set of those I just mounted on my father's Venture, and will make a bracket to mount the 1400's on the GTS also. Just in case I like the light from them better than the Saengs. Louis P.S. For others on the list who have Ventures, let me know if you might be interested in a set of these brackets. They replace the stock horn brackets and add the PIAA's just below the horn. :) Has anyone tried to run auxiliary lights (ex. PIA's) to the GTS. Can the GTS sustain auxiliary lighting?? I was contemplating a system from Saeng Co./NightCutters (also known for their "Winglet" Syst.). Has anyone attempted this?? Any recommendations, comments or advice would be appreciated. Thank you! Safe ride, J. David
thanks for the tire tips
Thanks to all who gave insights on the tire choice. I decided to go with the MEZ4, in a 170 size (no real need to pose at MY age). Ordered it today, will have it on the bike in a week. Phil
Aux lights
I have spent the last year perfecting a suitable set of mounting brackets for a set of Piaa 1200 to go on my gts. I've done it. Well really I found someone to do it. I wanted something to come out from under the mirrors and my craftsman did the rest. They are perfect. And the 1200's make night - day!! I hope to have pictures up soon and I hope to have some of these for sale if there is interest. Once you have some real lights like the Piaa's you wonder how you ever rode in the dark before. Jason

I get so frustrated explaining to people what type and kind of bike a GTS is that I decided to do this full color laminated wallet card so I can just show them. Very few motorcyclists have a working understanding of what a GTS is all about it appears. Is it ok to send a J-peg to the list?? Alan Tooraen
Re: Speedbleeders
Mike; You need 4 speedbleeders. 1-front brake,2-rear brake, 1-clutch. Once installed do not swap them around, just get on their website and order two more. Bob

Re: Big bore kit
Hey Kevin, I think maybe you've got this one backwards...if I'm not mistaken the original factory settings were at the 5 o'clock to richen up (increase the duration) we went the other way back to the one o'clock position. Just to satisfy my own curiosity I did turn them back all the way counterclockwise) to the 7 o'clock position man did it blow smoke!!

Power is determined by amount of air/fuel mixture and how efficiently it is burned. My first step would be to explore the limits of the EFI system. How much fuel can it efficiently handle, how much air? Then the exhaust would be explored. Finally internal engine mods. I wouldn't open the engine until the intake/exhaust systems were analyzed. If the intake is doing all it can now it won't make much difference what jugs you stick on the engine (assuming they are burning at max efficiency now.)
