track day or track session?

Tinker less ride more would be my recommendation. People always seem to try to squeeze "moar powa" out of bikes and usually just make them unreliable and give them problems. Just seems like a rabbit hole I never want to go down, but thats just me. These machines are engineered for long term reliability why mess with that?

I hear ya.... Part of me is saying "stop tearing the bike down!"  - I have tinkered and retinkered this bike off and on since I've owned it... 

This bike just fits me like glove, does have some good scoots, and is a decent dance partner in SEO twisty stuff since I have upgraded with Traxxion/Penske and RC51 brakes. 

But that "moar power" urge is still there.... some cleaned up heads, and PC3 plus a header would grab mbe a 15ish hp boost.  Just kinda looking into it for now. 

Mbe if I get a cost idea,  I'll gag on that and give it up..... 

Hey, that's an idea, an under 400cc only allowed track day......

Debating about getting a little more power out of the viffer.. 

Kinda fell into obtaining an extra set of heads on the VFR and now wondering to spend some bucks to do a port and polish job. 

You race guys, who could do some machine work, plus the work on the dyno? 

Thanks

I am hearing that bikes are selling now like hot cakes....

I rode about 250 miles today and saw 40 or 50 Trump signs. I saw exactly 1 Biden sign. In 2016, I remember them being about 3:1 Trump: Clinton.  

I have observed the same thing on a ride yesterday, many Trump signs, few Biden signs.

Something kinda weird, on my street, 2016 there were many Trump signs and 1Clinton. This year the D house has the Biden sign, but the there's no Trump signs this time. I don't get it.

I don't get what the polls say, at a toss up race or Biden slightly ahead. Is it possible Trump supporters don't participate in the polls?

No matter what, it's going to be an ugly, ugly election, probably end up in the Supreme Court..

Admittedly I am fishing but.... Just a shot... 

Looking for early Yamaha (or close) late 70s or early 80s mirror ... (really any make will work if its the right size... Just one.

The shaft is 10mm dia and the thread on it is 10 x 1.25.. and the angle on it is 120 degrees. 

I dont care if the mirror is borked or whatever, the stalk of it is my interest, like the pic. 

Just need it good enuff that it will polish up. 

You could have one in your junk pile.... 

-- I am going to cut the thing and thread the ends so it a short stalk vs a long thing.. (like my example)

      --- I didnt do the bend, it was there as stock... 

   --- I think its from an old Yamaha Enduro.... 

Got anything??.

Youtube is your friend. 

Agree - YouTube is an amazing resource on near any "fix it" situation.

I like to search to see if anybody has done a certain job before jumping in myself.

Amazon and YouTube - masters of time suckage...😀

I have used these guys on occasion,  UPS forks to him, they rework and send back.

Yes- post up your build thread! We need more build thread threads!

 

The VFR guys --- VFRD have done quite a few Streetfighter conversions.

You might look into Sebspeed Customs

Oh damn I'm hungry.

Been banging on this restomod bling it job on my Valkyrie the last few years, in between winter breaks  (Garage is frickn cold) and a few spots of life gets in the way.

One whacked thing you never realize up front how much the project is going to consume rectangular dollars. (ouch) 

I'm probably 80% done... this thing has gone on and on and on..... 

Debating about doing a mini build it thread... 

Looking for a seat guy to do a passenger seat like... (not Corbin, they snubbed me.) I dont like the stock seat on the bike. 

Ain't that GS a heavy beach for dirt work?

I enjoy some easy cruising in town in the evenings. It's cooling down from the day and traffic is light.

Need more RTE!

Forgot to mention with it being freshly repaved in the spring it is buttery smoothed...just all the better.

Thanks for the heads up on fresh pavement on 41S ---- that is definitely one of my favorite Ohio twisty roads. Lots of good roads out of Hillsboro.

Got the windy 9 map --- good stuff!
