I was not aware that a CBR1000RR shock would fit on a 919. I'm not saying it won't fit, but that wasn't a known option when I was looking into it. Those 1000RR shocks have onboad (rather than remote) resevoirs. Not an issue as long as you have enough clearance. You would also need to verify the eye to eye length is compatible along with the spring rate...

Those descriptions pretty much match my impression of the 02 919. The shock was oversprung and underdamped. The forks are underdamped and undersprung. It gave the bike an unbalanced feeling. Under moderarte braking the forks would dive and unload the rear end. Just barely touch the rear brake and at would break loose and want to swing around from side to side. The forks were the real problem, the rear shock compounded it. It was a parts bin bike. Honda built it from existing parts off the shelf. Just like the point of the Honda 599 was to burn through CBR600F3 replacement parts. It was a good bike for commuting and riding at a relaxed pace. The motor is absolutely fantastic. The suspension just didn't like spirted cornering or braking. As mentioned above, I swapped the stock shock for an 07 919 shock. I also installed 10mm longer spacers in the forks (old school/hillbilly preload adjustment). It was better, not great but better. Next, I was going to upgrade to the F3 shock and add stiffer fork springs and thicker fork oil. Next after that would have been Racetech Emulators. It would have been about $200, $350 with the Emulators. I think that would have been a night/day difference in the handling. But, I got a deal on another bike and wound up selling the 919 before I got that far with the suspension mods.

If I were updating the suspension on an 02 919...I would do the F3 shock or a shock from an 07. The 02 forks are undersprung and underdamped and would benefit from heavier fork oil and stiffer springs. That would.be the most bang for your buck. You could spend more, but before I got anything from Ohlins or Penske I would look at another bike with better stock suspension.

Ah...the Honda 919. Fatastic motor, the suspension was...well not fantastic. The 02-04 919 shock was a pogo stick. IMO, it was poorly matched to the fork springs and created some 'interesting' handling characteristics. The 05-07 919 shock has different spring/valving and is an improvement. I replaced the shock on my 02 919 with one from an 07. It's a direct swap. It was better...still not great, but better. A shock from a CBR600F3 will fit (F4/F4i shocks are too long). The F3 shock is fully adjustable, I believe it is 2 or 3 mm longer. I bougt an F3 shock, but sold the 919 before I got around to indstalling it. If you want it, I'll give you a deal on a clean shock from a '98 CBRF3 and a Honda 919 OEM service manual.

sure, you can prepay gas on the next SEO ride

Military weapons training is 1000 times better than what is covered in a 1 day CCW class. While the hands on weapons part was pretty basic, I actually got something out of the CCW class. I thought reviewing the relevant laws and discussing those type of scenarios was time well spent.

I had a P229 years ago. It was a high quality pistol for sure. I just didn't like shooting it. Sig fit/finish is excellent, and it never jammed. Just holding it in your hand it oozed build quality. But, the bore sits high on the frame & it tends to flip more and take longer to get back on target for follow up shots then something like a Glock, M&P, or XD. The only other 9mm I had at that time was a 'lowly' S&W Sigma. I was consistenly more accurate with the Sigma than the 229 in slow and rapid fire drills. No one was more surprised than me. I wound up selling that 229 after about 500 rounds (still have that lowly Sigma). btw, IMO FN's are fantastic pistols.

Much streaming media technology is due to the porn industry. Of course no one watches it though;)

I rocked it.

Shooting? No. Read the rest.

I am former USMC, I understand the Guard sentiment to a degree. If Barry EO'd a requirement that all gun owners register their firearms or you are now in criminal violation of federal law (has actually been discussed) I think many people would make their 'lack of support' known. ...a lot of if's for sure...

When I say Nat'l Guard involved. I don't mean anything like shooting. I mean dispatched to control protests that could protentially get heated. There are many parts of the country that are way more gun oriented than Ohio. Many people are already very unhappy with the Federal Gov't, this could be the straw...

Let's assume Barry implements some meaningful gun control measures via Executive Order, bypassing the legislative process. I predict that would cause civil unrest in many areas across the country. There would be many protests and the Nat'l Guard would become involved.

Yep. There are lots of good ones. I had good results with http://www.ccrrefinishing.com/pictures.html

You better not be insinuating that she 'shakes it' to get attention or this entire thread will implode into a black hole and kill us all

Again, I never said jealous. Example: Woman wearing revealing clothes in public. Women: Generally don't like it. Men: Generally like it. Man with a woman: Must pretend he doesn't like it to not incur wrath of said woman. It's the same thing.

I didn't say jealous. You said "...LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME, it gets old." Either you don't like that she wants attention or that she is getting it. That was pretty much my point. I know less about women than anyone on here, but I'll go to my grave knowing it's a fact that women don't like it when other women get attention.

Joking or not... I get that women generally don't like it when other women get attention. I really don't get why a man would care either way if a woman is getting attention. If you are easily offended or especially thin skinned, there are lots of threads on OR you should probably avoid. AFAIK, No one is forced to read any thread or post on here.

I never really wanted an AR. Perhaps next year when there's no AWB, I'll buy one for cheap when all these used ones flood the market.

Does it come with $400 cash?
