I followed these when I did it a few years ago..... R6 Fork Mod Instructions Revived - Sportbikes.net What part of austin are you in?

Anyone interested in going for a ride tomorrow morning. I bought a house in bulverde by Smithson valley high school and would like to start somewhat near there

When I installed my ohlin I ended up cutting off the lock. Another option is to contact the vendor and see if you can put on a different fitting and put it under the seat.

Any good roads you can recommend? I'm pretty open on the weekends till September.

I just moved here but from what people have told me at work it's been a drought for the past 7 years. A lot of the roads I've ridden down have had bit of water on them in the low areas. On thing I do know is the riding is way better than the flat corn fields of Illinois

Canyon lake as the rain was coming!

Finally somewhat settled in. I've road around canyon lake area and out toward Leakey. Very fun roads in the Leakey area. I didn't ride the sisters yet but it's on my list. Went to Lonestar motorcycle museum last weekend and they have tons of cool old bikes. Highly recommend.

You could do the Spencer seat mod. It really helped when I had it done. The worst part is waiting due to shipping. Flash Intro Page is his website. If you wanted to ride out my way you could try it.

Thank you, I'll make sure to check that forum out.

Anyone been to Harris hill track or have a membership? I'd like to do more track days, I've done 4 and am still a track newb.

You might want to be careful asking your landlord those questions. And if he did not get the permits you may be looking for a new place to live. I also work in the civil engineering world.

Decided to leave the cold winters behind and move to Texas. My new job starts June 1st in New Braunfels. A lot of things still need to be figured out, like where to live (anyone need a roommate), but we are excited. I'll have about 3 months to explore the area before my wife and son come...

You may want to consider doing a track day or riding clinic. Since you are in the northern IL region, check out motovid.com. I've done sport riding 101 and 201 last season and learned more about riding in 2 days than 2 years on the street.
