    new treads Friday!

    They didn't turn out the greatest, but here they are. They have 5000 miles on them. 2009 Street Riding Pics pictures from motorcycles photos on webshots - Album Front: Front close-up (can't really see the mild cupping): Rear Close-ups:

    R6 fork mod, would this work?

    Again, '06 and earlier bikes. Check out the dwgs & pics I linked to earlier for '07+.

    R6 fork mod, would this work?

    That's what I've heard. Maybe someday...

    R6 fork mod, would this work?

    caliper replacement is optional on '07 and newer. It is the same caliper that is already on the R6S, except for the blue plugs.

    R6 fork mod, would this work?

    4 fender tabs, 2 front & 2 rear. I hate that SBN is down right now, but there is an EXCELLENT fork mod thread in there, and there are already drawings of all the parts you need (I made dwgs and parts). I could send the dwgs to you if you'd like, but it would have to be later, from home. They...

    R6 fork mod, would this work?

    Doesn't need the R6 calipers since he's putting them on an '07, which is the same caliper. It must be R6S forks, not R6R. R6S axle & nut. Wheel spacers Brake caliper shims Fender set-up like I mentioned above.

    Chain and header cleaning

    Exactly. A metal brush will NOT be good on your o-rings at all, and will actually get the cleaner down under the o-rings, where you want the lube to stay. If you used SimpleGreen full strength, you just ruined your chain. Simple Green is very powerful and gets many places you don't want it...

    R6 fork mod, would this work?

    Yup, that is a pretty good deal. Just need the axle & brake spacers, and something to get the front fender back int he right spot (or R6 fender). You sure won't regret the mod :rockon:

    new treads Friday!

    well, pricey compared to what the road Attacks costed. they were about $75 cheaper for the set, but that doesn't offset them not lasting as long. After checking prices a little, the BT-016 appears a little cheaper (~$30 for set) so I'll probably head that way. Like I said, it'll be the end...

    new treads Friday!

    That was the other one I'm considering. It'll pretty much come down to the price between the BT-016 & the Road 2. They're both pretty pricey...

    new treads Friday!

    I'm just about at 5,000 miles on these tires, and the rear has almost no tread left in the middle (darn winter commuting....). I'll be looking for new tires by the end of next month, and due to the lower mileage from these, will be looking elsewhere. I do really like these tires though! I'm...

    So how hot is too hot?

    my fav riding temp is mid-80s to low 90s. Too hot? Hmmm...Haven't gotten there yet. Although I become :squid:like and ride in my T-shirt when it is about 98+ :D I hate sitting in traffic when it is that hot though, my skin on my arms feels like it is boiling :Flash:

    Off to get MARRIED...

    DOH. I just PM'd ya, but missed the dates... Sorry. My wife and I just got back from there on the 11th! It was awesome, and we'll be heading back in a couple of years. I did find a place that supposedly rents bikes. I think it was called "White's" in Castries. It is the local yamaha dealer...

    Interesting traffic violation (STUPID)

    I'd try talking to his superior...If that doesn't work then fight it...What a joke! As for red and or blue LED's and such, flashing blue seems to be against the law in any state, red also in some. Any way about it, if you have blue lights, flashing or not, you're going to be given a hard time...

    quick ride tonight - 4/17 - upstate SC

    My wife and I are going to make a quick run up the watershed and some backrounds through Saluda and back. Planning on leaving my place around 5, returning by 7 at the latest. Yes, we'll be riding pretty spirited. Give me a call if you're interested. Area code is 8...6...4... Ryan 380_2608
