Laguna Seca GTS Count -- 9!

    Roger, we had 9 GTS's at Laguna last weekend.  You would have made it double digits for GTS's.  Oregon to Monterey, CA ... come on, you'd have just gotten warmed up!     The GTS riders that were there had a great time.  It was really nice to be able to meet and talk face-to-face with other GT

I've heard bad things about pledge--not good for use in sun. The UV rays can be harmful and yellow the built-up wax. Try Plexus instead. Desinged for outdoor (boat) use, and really kicks butt. IMHO. PLexus can be got at Chaparral and dennis kirk, if not at your local shop. adam Paul Koontz w

hawke, I don't think there is such animal (quietest shield) for our bike. I've tried 3 different types with no stellar results. I also rode I friend's GTS who had the deflector on his stock windshield and liked it. It did make a difference with wind noise, it seemed to place the air over my helmet

I have a 5"+ clear screen for sale. It has been on the bike once and is in perfect condition. Paid $120.00 will ship it in the USA for $85.00. It creates a still void and is definitely quieter than the stock screen. I am 6'7" and it directs the air to the top 1 to 2" of my helmet. I also have heli

Try using Pledge spray wax (furniture polish) . My local glass professional uses only this and claims that the wax fills in the small scratches and brings the surface up to a clear finish. Paul Koontz 93 GTS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Beh

RE: Hawke: Did you change any of the stock headlight wiring to run this high wattage bulb? I find that the aim isn't particularly good. I wish I could've put my Concours headlight unit onto the GTS. It was fantastic, while you'd think Yamaha really didn't want you to ride this thing at night.
