The Random Question Thread

Style and safety aside, you need to try on different helmets to see which one fits your head shape the best. Each manufacturer has different shell shapes to cater to different types of heads. A top of the line $800+ helmet is useless if it doesn't fit well and you end up hating it. Try a few dealers to see what they carry. Dainese/Triumph dealers tend to carry multiple models of Shoei/Arai. Look for smaller local shops to try on the other brands if you can as well. When looking at gloves, the single most important protective element is a palm slider. This will keep your hand from catching and twisting during a crash.

I would definitely recommend a MSF course to get the feel of riding.

Here's a recent article on motorcycle gear I came across. Not a bad read.

Agreed.

Helmets makers seem to cater to a certain head shape. Like some have more of a longer (egg shaped ) head and some have a wider almost circle. The list goes on.

I have a older scorpion 700 helmet, I got it online after testing my helmet size on a friends hjc helmet. I had to return it and pay shipping cause I got one size way too small.

I think its better to go buy ur first helmet in person. There is a shop in the city called "riders needs". They are in Chicago near Montrose and Pulaski. They had a decent selection of helmets there.

Keep in mind u should be switching out helmets every like 4-5 years. Because newer standards are out as well as helmets get a little grimmy after a while. Im on my 3rd year and there has been some wear and tear on mines.
 
Or any exhaust shop, they're standard 2 bolt gaskets. Ship that installed mine had them on the shelf. Price was like $2 or $3 each.
 
Ok thanks. It sort of sounds like I blew out a gasket in the exhaust somewhere in the mid section.

Will wheel spacers from a g35/350z fit on my 05 fx35? Finding pretty cheap on the forums and dont mind snatching a set if i know they will work!

Yes.

For the record any 5x114.3 spacer with 66.1 hub will work on the FX.

Just make sure anything you buy is hub centric, H&R and Ichiba are very safe brands.
 
Not sure yet but my driver side front dash doesn't sound healthy. So thinking of replacing both left and right but leaving the one in the middle.

That's exactly what I wanna do...my driver's side also blew as I can hear it popping sometimes. Just not sure what to replace it with yet.
Hoping you don't have to take the dash apart to replace them....
 
So my center console has been squeaking under the arm rest... It's really annoying and happens when I make turns (body lean)
As I was checking the armrest out and below it and wiggling it, it felt that the console was unhooked. I look to the right side.. Then confirmed with the driver side that two bolts may be missing.. Can someone tell me if they have a bolt or or screw on either side?

They pop off. Just use a screwdriver wrapped in cloth or a plastic panel popper. The speakers drop in from top.

OK I see you used Kickers....Do you happen to know the wattage we can use on the dash speakers??
