  1. Goalie, its not a matter of being able to afford a $150 headlight, I make plenty of money. It's about an aesthetically pleasing $40 fix. I already said I wasn't going to do it but thanks for the lecture.
  2. Dafuq is wrong wichoo mane? No, I get it...the maintenance on those desmo motors is expensive, can't blame you for not riding it...
  3. Thanks Brian, looks like that is no longer a viable option then....shit. would have liked to solve my headlight issue for $40.... Oh well, guess its time to order a clear one and get out the dremel.
  4. Crack cocain, the 'stem fast' diet.
  5. Yeah its a looks thing, I like my bike to turn heads when possible. You don't see many tl1000s's on the road these days so I want mine to look awesome. What's the point of owning a semi-rare bike if it doesn't look or perform well?
  6. Snot, we may have an issue with your reading comprehension. Poser, thanks. It's a money thing as far as what I want to do, but it would also look really cool with what I want to do because the windshield I bought is dead black and it v's down to the headlight, so I would have uninterrupted black from the lights to the top of the windshield. Another option is to pull the light, cut off the lens, black out the reflector, install HID projectors and then cover with a clear lens protector. Lots of guys have done this mod and it looks killer but costs a couple hundred and is time consuming.
  7. I like that tail, is that the tail light integrated into it? Sexy.... You gonna go clip-ons, clubmans or upside-down stock bars? I like the k&n filters, I went for the true race engine look and put some NOS polished aluminum velocity stacks on mine. Keeping that exhaust? Cycle x has some real nice setups in the $300 range. I'll definitely check out frankenbike. Did you go with the dyna-s inductive ignition or just replacement breaker points? It's hard to tell from the pic...
  8. Cheech, you haven't told me anything I didn't already know there....I was looking for an answer to my question. I've seen different people who know the law better than me post up the actual language from the O.R.C. on different topics and was kinda looking for that type of response, or maybe someone who had been pulled over and charged for it in the past, not a brief lecture on 'if a cop wants to be a Dick....'. Anyone got a real answer?
  9. Lookin good! I go to www.cyclexchange.net for all my cb750 stuff, they have EVERYTHING. Also airtech makes a lot of nice cowl/seat pan combos and a few bikini fairings IIRC. Love the see-thru points cover, how much was it? Pm me if you need any parts, I may have something laying around you might want and keep the pics coming!
  10. As some of you know I took the TL1000 for a slide in a ditch last fall, in the process putting some serious scuffs and scratches on my headlight. At around $150-$170 for a good used one, I'm not super keen on replacing it. Instead I'm looking into a made-to-fit lens protector from powerbronze. I would have to get one that's dark enough to hide the damage while the lights are off but not so dark that it compromises my night vision. They have them in black, dark smoke and light smoke. If its too dark I can always put in some 6000k HID lights I guess. The real question is: can a cop fuck with me about this? Is there an actual law on the books that could be interpreted as prohibiting a tinted lens cover? I'd like to thank scruit in advance, as I'm guessing he will cite the orc
  11. If I can get a new back tire on the shadow by sat morning I'm going to ride.
  12. I miss my fzr. Hanging before returning to idle means you need more fuel at the idle circuit, your bleeds are too lean. I ran stock airbox with k&n and stock header with yosh slip on with what I assume was stock jetting. I never jetted it, just dialed in the idle mix screws and called it a day. You need to get your main right beforeyou tune any other circuit in that carb and as with all down-draft mikunis, the float level is of major importance. I would put the 107.5 jets back in, do a full throttle plug read and see if you're in the butter zone there, then check float height, then do 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 throttle plug chops and tune it in. Pm me with any questions.
  13. Sorry, I think about 250 psi is the max. They're large canisters of liquid nitrogen and we use the evaporation to build pressure. What kind of pressure does it take to.charge a shock?
  14. Get me a tank with a Schrader valve and the pressure rating on it and you can do whatever you want with it.
  15. When you're done twisting each others nuts you should come to the www.graytonroadtavern.com and imbibe delicious beverages, snack on some wings and play with your own nipples in public.
  16. Reserved rooms at the Hilton for my group. If you can make it great, if not we will be at the bar down the street whooping it up without you.
  17. AGM = absorbant glass mat. Fiberglass inside the cells that holds the electrolyte. Something to do with the way the glass mat holds the electrolyte against the lead lattice gives them deeper cycles, hold a charge longer and discharge better, at least according to the manufacturer.
  18. DID or RK chains, jt or vortex sprockets. I won't put anything else on my bikes.
  19. Hit the range with my future brolo. Brought my 9mm carry pistol (taurus pt-111 millennium pro) they were out of 9mm so I ended up renting a mark 3 and we shot 200 rds. In the end it cost me less than shooting 200 rds of 9 but I didn't shoot as good.
  20. Hey tim, would love to see you again. On a side note...... Your signature is about three times as long as your post.. while I support 100% the use of signatures for the purpose of expressing political views that I endorse, I take issue with not at least posting a paragraph equal to or greater than that of your none-the-less awesome signature quote. But what do I know? Btw, got all the parts to rebuild my TL. She will be reborn all one color with no badges or decals except bright white suzuki lettering across the bottom of the lower fairing. Should be beautiful.
