Bogdan, You must be trying to insure the bike. No joy. You haven't been able to insure a motorcycle for some time in Baja. I use ADA VIS Gobal at 1 800 909 4457 (voice) or 1 800 909 1007 (Fax). E- them at INFO@.... Temecula, CA. They may be the same outfit that is available from the Vags. George Escondido, CA

How about filling the bars with lead bird shot and then closing off the ends with the dry foam or small amount of caulking to hold the contents. Has anyone tried this method before? Several folks have told me that they got more vibration reduced from the lead shot vice caulking. Any recommendations out there? Mark A13
