  1. I hear you my folks all speak spanish but growing up they never spoke around me enough for me to pick it up or maybe I didnt give enough effort but whatever proud to be !!:badgerrock:

    Really? My wife is from Costa Rica. Spanish is practically the only language spoken around our house.
  2. Not me im 6'1 so average height but yeah I even failed spanish in high school so so sad...:dunno:

    Really? We had a few Costa Rican gents in our shop for business and they spoke all kinds of fucking Spanish. And they were really short.
  3. Ex-wife :broke: lives in olmsted township let me know when the weather hits atleast 55 im always up for a ride around.

    technically olmsted township, but only by about 500 feet. close to stearns (480) and lorain

    thanks for the great welcome! think im might go riding today

  4. Wow well the way you explained it seems pretty easy.

    now to find someone with a rear stand and an extra set of hands.

    Question: only my second bike but is it really that bad to have the front lowered ?? I cant tell the differrence and dont know anyone with an 05-750 to tell them apart.

    easy peasy on your own. need a rear stand for both options (borrow one from a friend, or buy one you will always find a need for a rear stand)--

    you have:

    front under triple stand - incredibly easy (rating of 1 on the ease scale, 5 being the hardest). put on stand loosen pinch bolts on both the upper and lower triple, make sure you have something under the tire so in case you loosen too much it doesn't fall too far. just loose enough that you can pull them down with your hands.

    no front stand - about a two. same process, just a difference in how to lift the front. you have a car? know someone with a car? borrow their scissor jack that is in the trunk of most modern cars, and jack up the bike by the headers (remove lowers first). have an extra hand to watch the bike balance, it wont fall over sitting on its own but its not as sturdy as most would like.

    i believe you want the top of the forks to be flush. unless you want to mess with geometry...

  5. Thanks. and no I didnt lower the back actually when I got the bike it was already lowered from the little guy that had it before me but loved the way it felt so kept it short in the front.

    PC-Air filter not yet but will with in the next week or so.

    nice nie looks much better than the high mount ones! u get and air filter and power commander also?

    is just the front lowered? cant really tell from the pic but the front of the bottom fairing looks lower then the rear
