Good point Karen but also of note in the rules: No politics discussed here and this is borderline. Couple that rule with the personal attacks and I'd vote to close it, move on and discuss motorcycles. :thumbup:

What? No babyseat on the SV? ;) We've done our third day of riding but I know the road you need to get in and out of probably isn't in the best of shape or is it? I have some work to do in the garage to get ready and I should have all the stuff here in about a week to 10 days so we can plan...

We'll make it fit! :D No worries! I have a dremel and duct tape. ;) Racetech springs are here. Waiting for the brake lines, rear shock, FE kits.... Soon?

Also ordered HEL brake lines for both bikes. She and I got custom colors. So another mod coming in the mail. ;) The big one is the forks and fitting the new springs.

Is that a direct bolt-on or does anything need to be modified to fit it? We'll do it! Bring it Keira!

Time to make the trip down Eric! The tool bin has expanded. We have a new welder and huge air compressor. Fork seal driver in 43 mm style. A lot of other specialty tools. Rob and Keira have to come over so let's make it a small meet and mod here.

Ok Botch... convinced. I ordered two of these tonight. Evotech FE kits from the UK.

For a smaller woman, she does a fine job with the FZ1. ;) Yes, she is VERY happy with the new can but even happier that she accomplished this pretty much on her own. As am I! How great is it to have a wife that not only rides but wrenches too?!? Right Rob??? :thumbup: Just waiting for...

:D Yes, I agree. Mine will be fine but her bike is lowered so much I'm worried about the plate catching the wheel.

They are very long life tires and are great for touring but suck in cornering. Well, suck at getting to optimal lean angle. Those were on my bike and she had the Pilot Powers. She had black wheels and I had the goldish wheels. I saw how well the swap would be so I swapped wheels and tires...

:BLAA: They DID mate! Here's the parents just tucked into the stable for the night. And here's the little off-spring C3 in training! :rockon::rockon:

Yesterday she installed her exhaust with my only guiding her. She removed the EXUP cables and blocked the AIS then put it back together. We also put in a ciggy power socket for GPS/phone, etc... Here's a video of her with the finished CF can install. She did a GREAT job! I have an entire...

Fork seals are not affected by sun/UV rays. Fork seals are covered by a dust cap that is supposed to prevent any foreign matter from getting into the seal itself. But the dust cap can suffer from these symptoms you mentioned and when it fails, it lets in the debris which then can impact the...

*EDIT* Norbert beat me to it... LOL! OMG! WTF!!! Hahahaha! Kenny, one thing you can try... If you can get your hands on a Seal Mate, some acetate or a strip of 35mm film, you can force it by the seal and down into the fork, then while pulling it back out, circle the fork with it so you...

The whole thing stinks of shady. I think it is a good cause but I also think it's not effective nor is it being handled properly. It will take more than taking Kony out... it will take the removal of a lot of people serving under him. If only all his little armed minions would point their...

Just like Eric said.... Yes, I am sickened by the actions of this guy but this isn't how to stop him. Hunt the b@stard down and shoot him and I'm sure we can find someone to do it for even a small portion of the profits these buttholes are raking in to exploit a situation and not make as big a...

That think is DEAD SEXY! Congrats on a fine ride Cheryl! That will be some FUN carving. I missed something but did you sell or keep the 6? Awesome either way!

Yes. We can do both bikes since I have both sizes. I have the Motion Pro fork oil level tool. To hold the damping rod, I use a "customized" coat hanger. And to retrieve the dust caps and seals, I have a high quality dental pick. We have an FZ6 manual. Do you have the SV650 service manual...

Rob, there's a lot of great deals on used FZ1 bikes out there. You can catch a Gen II for around $5k with decent mods. If you sell the 6, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to get into the 1. Michele got hers for under $5k. Yes, I am one lucky man to have a wife like her. I'm so glad i...

Yup. That is the OEM Yamaha cowl and the stickers are from the FZ6 member here in the UK... what was his name? Is he still here and making these?
