| Shredder  Joined: Apr 2008 From: Kitsap County I Ride: 2004 Triumph Daytona 600, 2003 Triumph Sprint ST, 2000 Triumph Daytona 955i | OK....I just ordered my fall/winter air from Aerostich. Six thousand dollars. Seems fair, it's for three bikes. (DON'T tell my hubby, I put it on the card.  )Apparently installation requires a special tool. Didn't wanna pay the extra eight bucks for it, figured someone here on the forum already has one...Can ya help a gal out? (p.s. if you don't get the aerostich catalog, this will not make sense. You should go on line and have them send you a copy, a fun read over your morning cereal. I have yet to order anything from them, but one day I will,FYI.) |

I need to call them about a non-functional heated jacket thermostat. It broke this spring. Oh, and they have aviator silk scarves in black now. Yippee! On my Christmas wish list! |

| Permit Joined: Jul 2011 From: PoCo, BC I Ride: GSXRs and Hondas and Yamahas and Kawasakis, Track, Sport, Dirt and Touring | I'm in a a quandary (which is next to a pickle, but not as severe as a fix). You see I have a completely original, unmolested Vintage bike - factory fresh. The tyres have long since gone flat however, but I dare'nt pump them up as what air is still in them is the original air fitted at the factory. If I blow them up, it's no longer "stock". I know people who are sticklers (sort of like pedantic, but not as smelly as anal) that would ridicule me if I were in any way to dilute it's originality. What to do? |

| Licensed  | And PLEASE don't forget to check your muffler bearings! They are one of the most important parts of a regular maintenance schedule. Failing to do so can completely destroy a muffler and cause costly repairs. They need to be changed every year! Just send me a blank check or cash, and I will send a set out to you ASAP. I have thousands in stock. If I can't find it, you don't need it! Only $99.00 a set. (1 set per muffler is required)  |

| Licensed  Joined: Dec 2009 From: orygun I Ride: AMERICAN IRON!!!! | On a serious note though, you do need to check your air pressure now. Air loses volume in cold weather. I filled my tires back in summer, the other day I thought "man, that front looks awfully low". Both of my tires had lost 10psi do to the temperature differance. Stay safe! |

| Shredder Joined: Nov 2008 From: Myrtle Creek, OR I Ride: A big silver one | I generally check mine every other ride or so. The little skinny one up front reacts more to the temperature changes than the back one, but I do them both anyway. I even pack a little portable compressor that plugs into my battery leads. It's slow, but in a pinch, it'll work. |
