Used the standard Methis Shades Fats. I used the 15" height model. I don't like to have to look thru a windshield. Adding risers will change the ride for the better immediately. I got mine from Scootworks online. They had their own brand that was ...

I love the power! I have a 1988 Magna (750 V-4) and the Mean Streak runs good and strong. I did some mods to the bike to up the power from 62 to 73 horse and the torque is at 94 ft. lbs. which is respctable.
If you read the reviews you'll find the...
Hey Nick, I'm currently considering purchasing a mean streak but I currently own a 1993 FJ1200. Having now owned and road both of these bikes how would you rate the power of the mean streak as to that of the FJ? Thanks in advance for the input.
I really like the look of the Mean streaks, I think they did a great job. I personally like buying old barn bikes so I am forced to rip them apart and learn every piece of them, but that is the first bike I have ever considered buying new.
I'm pleased to hear how much you folks enjoy your bikes. I'm 57 years old now and started riding at about 10. My Dad was an old hill climber. Got into bikes with old Triumphs, BSA's , Valacates. My first teaching job, right out of college, bought ...
Hey Robin. A close friend sells Amsoil and swears by it, on a Kawasaki Rider's forum folks complain about the excessive engine noise that occurs with it's use (because of it's particular properties) I had an oil change last week and asked my Kawas...
I've never had a passenger complain about this. I would suggest changing to some wider pegs or some mini floorboards for the rear. Also check all your engine mounts for tightness and especially the right side of the frame. The section that extends...

- Thanks for the welcome! I'm thinking of trailering both bikes down to Daytona for the race. We usually rent a bike for a day or two when we get there but that takes the spur of the moment out of it and puts you up against rain spoiling your day. Know anybody going down for the race?

Biker_mama said… - Sorry to hear about the crummy weather. That would stink if you are used to milder weather. Living here in Illinois we have come accustomed to bad weather thru the winter. Usually we get a decent day here and there, but that has not been the case this year. I think I'm having motorcycle riding withdrawals, LOL!!! Glad to hear you all are at least getting a few rides in though. Have a great New Year!
