I see the mention of a Kriega US-20 in the header.

Located in Springfield. Spend most of my free time running up and down Missouri 125, 14, 76 and 160.

Very familiar with that part of Missouri. You were basically in McDonald County (to begin with). At one time, my Uncle was Sheriff there. My Grandfather was Superintendent of Schools. My Grandmother was in charge of the post office. My Aunt was in charge of the library. And finally, my...

During March 2012 Lothodon made a comment about Shad's website being "poorly coded". I have gone through the process of placing an order for the Shad seat, just to the point of entering the credit card information and submitting the order. Nowhere on the ordering page does this site indicate...

The map is the 22-040-002. Per DynoJet, this map was developed from a FZ8 that had a Two Brothers slip-on exhaust and a stock air filter. The MIVV GP is just a different slip-on exhaust. As far as the map goes, I don't think having a Two Brothers slip-on, or in my case a MIVV slip-on, is that...

Hello fellow Springfield rider. Jumbo is your man. He has a couple of maps that appear to work well with a slip-on and high-flow air filter. For now, I have been using DynoJet's generic TwoBrothers/Stock Air Filter map, and it has worked well for me. Note, my exhaust is a MIVV GP.

Got mine last year. I am now 59. Kind of a pain waiting for a Boy Scout to help on and off the bike, but once I get going - I'm hell on wheels.

1968 - gas war - Oklahoma/Missouri border (14 cents a gallon).

I have the Pilot Road 3's, also - great tires.

I poke around in some of the other forums, like the FZ1, R1 and R6. Every once in a while someone will mention the 8. Frequently, the comments are along the line of the 8 "needs more grunt". I don't know, but every time I crank the throttle on the 8, it just takes a few seconds and I'm...

This thread is starting to remind me of the "scars" scene in the movie JAWS.

In regard to having the shock and front end redone - I will pass on one of my observations. I have both the Ohlins (s46dr1) shock and RaceTech springs in the front. Today, the temperature got all the way to 51 degrees, so I was forced to go for a ride. Prior to this, I was only able to put...

If you don't run into a thunderstorm, the weather that time of year is excellent for riding.

The Ozarks today is like the movie Jarhead - Welcome to the suck.

Just had an Ohlins S46DR1 shock installed, plus RaceTech springs and valves. I have only put about 30 miles on this setup, but will share my thoughts. At 6'1" 210, I always felt the stock suspension just might not have been designed for someone my size. The front end seemed to overly compress...
