  1. I just posted my Gladius 650. Price might be higher than he wants, but it comes with hardbags which could fetch a decent price on fleabay.

    536

    Trucks driving on 536 will for sure drag gravel onto the road surface. 536 is too narrow and too curvy for trucks to completely stay in their lane.
  3. ***Sold*** 2009 Suzuki Galdius 15.5k. Never dropped, not even a little. Runs absolutely 100% perfect. $4,400. Here's my way too long description... I bought this bike new with zero miles in Oct 2011. Prior to that, it was used a Hepco Becker demo bike at bike shows. It comes with just about every Hepco Becker accessory available. If you don't know HB, they make luggage and accessories including some of the OEM stuff for BMW, KTM, Moto Guzzi, Buell, etc. I usually leave my bikes stock, but this one needed some love (all mods are reversible and I still have all stock takeoffs). The Gladius motor is even better than the already excellent SV650 mill. The frame is stiff and flickable. The weak point of the Gladius is without a doubt the crappy stock suspension. It was fine for a 7/10ths pace. Anything faster and it would wallow and complain enough to make you slow down. I swapped the rear pogo stick for a 4 way adjustable 07 GSXR600 shock (direct bolt on, common Gladius mod). I also added Ricor Intiminators to the forks. This is how Suzuki should have made it in the first place. It handles fantastic and will hang with sportbikes in the twisties. The stock exhaust was just too ugly & too heavy to be allowed to live. I replaced it with an Arrow street pipe. It sounds good, and not much louder than stock. Gladius have a CAT that maintains the back pressure so there's no need to remap unless you remove the CAT. There's no backfiring or popping on decel. I replaced the gawdawful mudflap with a Targa Fender eliminator. The stock bars were too high and too narrow for serious sporty riding. I replaced with a set of superbike bars. It's a great mix of sport and comfort. It's setup for weekend corner carving, commuting, sport touring, and would even do nicely at track days (I would upgrade the front brake lines to steel braided before I put it on a track though). It comes with over $2,000 in aftermarket parts. I still have all the stock take offs. The 15k service was just done by DucRx...valve check (all within spec), new chain, new spark plugs (2 per cyl), air filter, and coolant changed. Tires are PR2's the back is 50%, but it needs a new front (still a little tread in the center, the sides were just worn down by 1k of WV curves).

  6. I remember when acid rain was going to kill us all...and it did, but we survived.
  7. Helibars for a 2010 CBR600RR part# TS1701 (Black)

  9. Responded to the add: This is a joke, right? How about you pay me $2,500 and I'll haul that death trap to the dump for you.
  10. Seriously, what the fuck happened to the forks?
  11. I wouldn't take that POS if it was free.
  12. Maybe I'll buy Detroit as a fix-n-flip after it get's foreclosed.
  13. On that same form you're going to create for billing authorization, you should include a space to document the scope of work to be completed. Even if it's just a couple bullet points it will save you a ton of headaches down the road. I implement software and modify existing software. Clients are always trying to sneak in new requirements and claim they thought they part of the original estimate. Documenting scope makes my life soooo much easier.
  14. If they threatening to sue, it would seem logical to threaten to counter sue over the missing payment(s). If they willingly provided CC info I don't know that they can claim it's fraud. A signed authorization would be much cleaner tho.
  15. When you gathered CC info after visit #1 what was the authorization agreement?
  16. Seems like AMA Road Racing in general is circling the drain. The need to retool if they want to survive.
  17. Keeps the traffic off the good roads
  18. There may be a Suzuki Gladius for sale soon. Front/rear suspension is already setup. With the improved motor, I think it would have an advantage over SVs on the track.
  19. Per the Magnusson Moss Warranty Act, dealers cannot specify maintenance items solely sold by the dealership must be used (unless they are available free of charge) to keep the warranty in tact. HD dealers are notorious for saying that anything other than HD oil will void your warranty. It's a completely untrue, illegal statement, and they say it every-damn-day.
  20. It is getting harder and harder to find (.) (.) on the web.
