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

Re: Windshield question to the List

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

Re: Windshield question to the List

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

RE: Windshield question to the List

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

RE: Windshield question to the List

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: weight reduction

Nicholas, According to Mike Coan, you can use any slip-on muffler with a piece of bent tubing in between. I believe that several folks have used this approach. Also: (cut and paste here :^)) Anthony Grafals; I bought a carbon fiber Vance & Hines SS2R slip on for a'97 YZF-750 and put it on the G

Laguna Seca Ride Report (longish)

Got back Tuesday from taking my GTS down to sea level. The GTS loved being at sea level, must be at least 10% more power than at the 5600 ft elevation of the GTS's home in Boulder, CO. Left Boulder Thursday morning at 4:30 AM with the minimum goal of getting to Austin, Nevada (784 miles) and mayb

Re: Windshield question to the List

I bought a 4+ Clearview and I love it. The only thing I'm not as happy with is it seems to get fine scratches fairly easily. You don't notice them until the sun hits just right though. I have a great setup for cleaning too. Carry a natural sponge and a cloth diaper (also may be used for "pucker fa

Aerostich colors and airbag vest

Thanks for the input on the Aerostich Roadcrafter suit. Looks like everybody likes it, I haven't heard or read a bad review of it anywhere! (I did check the motoport website someone suggested, but 2x1-inch images are not much help). I originally was attracted to it because I was told they'd deliv

Windshield question to the List

I'm looking for input on the quietest windshield set up. I can't seem to get the windshield king, Kevin, to respond off list. Has anyone used the little BMW deflector on a stock screen? Does it work? Does it add a lot of wind buffeting noise? Where do you get one if it does work? hawke

GTS Headlight

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.
