    -- Not sure of what all I will be doing but my understanding is that I will be more a do it all project engineer and keep all the shit moving and coordinated to get it ready for production. I will report to the Admin side. I am looking forward to it! -- I'm a former Delphi engineer guy and used Stillwater for testing fixtures. Cant remember the names of people I worked with.

    Got the job with F.tech R & D. My understanding is they develop the product for F & P to manufacture.
  5. Some terms I havent heard --- Torrenting? Seeding? Whats that?
  6. Get a VFR and stick a handle bar kit on it. This one was DIY.
  7. You got a lot commiserating going on - how 'bout break it down into - what kinda rider are you? Sport? Sporty? Sport/tour, Street only, or some track? Is it going to be one bike? Or some day get another? An idea - most bikes that I have bought, I have had an inkling that I would like it and finagled a test ride. Usually if I was right, the test ride would have me walking away thinking - I must find and buy one of these now! Good luck
  8. - Lean toward bad battery like everyone else. -- You could pull it, give it an overnite charge, then take to autozone or simular for load test. That will say yes/no once and for all. - Once you get the battery sorted, you should do the basic charging system checks.

    Assume your talking Troy? -- I have been interviewing for a spot at their sister company, F.tech R&D. Seems like they have a large backlog of work coming in. Main customers - Honda, Toytota, and GM. -- Wouldnt mind some skinny on both myself.
  12. I like the all black version except for the huge mirrors.
  13. I imagine that car distracted you for a sec. Been thru there hundreds of times. Seems the best is to be downshifted into first and ez on the brakes and stay a bit wide to avoid the hairpin drop off. Love that road, especially coming west.
  14. ^^ Yea - its in the corners where it counts. The bike used to bounce over bumps and now it just sticks like glue. Wanna change lines, mid-corner? No problem. Great control and stable.
  15. Agree on the suspension and brakes -- I also trashed the stock brakes on my viffer and converted to RC51 calipers and MC. Doesnt get much sweeter.
  16. Put the bikes up? Um never.... -- - You have an interesting bike collection
  17. I see you added a Penske in the rear and an Ohlins kit. Nothing like a suspension upgrade. I have a Penske and Traxxion Dynamics in my viffer and it still blows me away how good it is even though I've had it a few years. Your FZ1 is a bike I have always wanted to try as a do-it-all ride. Looks like you have it set up nice.
  18. That wing is kinda cool. No doubt they are asking a healthy price for it.
  19. You are allowed to check you credit report completely free once a year. Dont pay for it!
