  4. I want to put a set of 20" Rockstar wheels and some 34" Falken Wild Peak tires on my truck. Anybody have a suggestion on where to go? Trails West seems like a good resource but I'm not sure about their prices. Any advice is appreciated. It's for a 3" lifted Silverado
  5. I am pretty sure I have the black front fender Just shoot me a text if you are interested 614-506-1165
  6. I have a set of fairings from my old GSXR 600 just taking up space. A little road rash but overall in pretty good shape. Here is a pic of what I have, but there may be a couple more pieces laying around, fender and tank side pieces that I will throw in. Also a black wind screen and stock front brake lever. I don't want to bother with posting a bunch of detailed pictures so the first person that shows up with $40 can take it.
  7. GLWS Hoblick! Sell that and buy my Honda
  8. bump any interesting trades out there?
  9. $7,900 I tore my right rotator cuff and will definitely not be able to ride this anymore this summer.
  10. I wouldn't say it needs a steering damper, but I have always used one and feel naked without it. I like the way any sport bike handles better with one. All the newer liter bikes seem to steer very lightly to me. Under acceleration the front tire is barely touching the ground (if at all), and the damper helps to keep it all under control. I couldn't find a mount for my bike for the Scotts damper so I had a machinist friend make one for me. They may have one available now though
  11. There used to be a guy in Columbus that had a mobile dyno and a crotch rocket with a rope on the front. You could practice doing wheelies on the dyno. The rope kept you from flipping over, it was just barely longer than the balance point. I think the rear axle was attached to the trailer. I never got a chance to try it but it seemed like a sweet way to practice wheelies without the fear of crashing
  12. I skipped the dirt bike and learned on an R1 so this may be a little different for you because the speed will be different but It seems to me that the faster you go the easier it is. You get the gyroscopic effect of the back tire spinning that helps with stability. The best tip anyone ever gave me was to concentrate on keeping your throttle hand smooth. Not sudden twists on or off the throttle. It sounds like a minor detail but it helped me go from doing short 25-50 yard wheelies to going half a mile or better in a matter of a couple days. Try to bring it up quick to your balance point or very close, then just move the throttle slow and steady to adjust
  13. Thanks Audi_F4i, I will give that a shot this week
  14. Yeah I put it on CL a couple weeks ago. A few people have emailed but you know how CL is, a lot of talk lol. Anyone have luck with Cycletrader? I may go that route next
  15. Bump Anyone have advice for selling this type of bike? Seems like Ohio has a slow market for anything but 600's
  16. Thanks for the warm welcome to OR, and the positive comments (excluding the fapping, lol).
