    Hood \ Kyrano Jeans to USA Duty Costs?

    Thanks for the reply... but I think a better deal here in the US is Lean Angel Jeans. Cost almost as much or just as much as the kyrano but without having to worry about duties and fees from abroad. Plus I think they do a better job at hiding the fact your wearing motorcycle jeans at all...

    Can anyone comment on what it cost to their door in the USA for Hood or Kyrano jeans? Where there any additional duty fees on top of the price \ exhange rate minus VAT? This is the current pricing for the Kyranos C8 jeans from Hood... The Kyrano G8 jean plus shipping minus VAT total costs are...

    First oil change-observation

    Does the Rotella come in a 10w40 or 20w40 as the bike specs require? I believe those were two of the variations approved by the specs. 5w40 wasn't.

    MOTOMFG Paddock Stand Ordered

    True... but most of the delay was my availability to proceed with the steps after each hiccup. Life is just too busy :hbwall: Had the instructions been right the first time, with the right adapter plate and the right spacing for the cotter pin to travel through the holes, I would have been...

    MOTOMFG Paddock Stand Ordered

    Finally got the stand on. The new adapter plate worked. However I had to add a washer in the top mount, behind it, so that it would stick out a hair more to allow the cotter pin to move in and out freely. Without it I could not get the cotter pin in. Not sure if anyone else had this issue...

    Thanks! Ok... So only those that are using new signals need to worry about how to splice in.

    not sure what you mean... sorry :confused: Are we splicing in the new wiring at the connectors somehow like a T?

    Yamaha frame sliders installed

    Did they ever make a more sleeker design that is closer to the body? I heard one of the first guys on this forum to get the 905 bars said they stuck out too far for his liking and was hoping they'd redo them for him, tightening them up a bit.

    Thanks for the offer, but lets just see what they send me for a new part. I am going to call them and ask whats going on. See if they know why you were good and I wasn't.

    Well not sure how that's possible as I just told them about the issue over this past weekend. Yours was probably already in transit. Only thing I can think of is my adapter plate was the wrong one.

    How were you so lucky? My lower pin wouldn't come up high enough to work. That is why I'm waiting on a new adapter plate with more adjustment in the up position.

    MOTOMFG Paddock Stand Ordered

    Still in the process of installing. After finding some time I was able to get the bolt installed the right way with the collar that stays on the bike. But then I came upon the issue with the adapter plate supplied... apparently it doesn't fit the FZ8 like it does the FZ1. They are going to be...
