Xbox one 500GB, 2 controllers, Logitech G920 steering wheel/pedal setup (doesn't have the shifter, that is a separate piece you buy)
comes with Forza 6, Project cars, Mortal Kombat X, Mad Max
$600 -
now is your chance to own a very rare piece of history. a rocket ship of a sedan, only the finest japanese craftsman have assembled this particular vehicle. painted in a rich dark blue, with that ever so popular faded tan/brown interior. what is powering this animal you ask? no, not the 1.8l that is so common and boring, its the mighty 1.5L DOHC multiport fuel injection which when new produced a massive 92bhp. which I'm sure now it has only lost a few of those ponies. But how is all this insane amount of power delivered to the wheels? through a precision crafted 5 speed manual transmission, the throw on the shifter is to that of a toyota tacoma, which we all know is an amazing truck. with 226k miles on the odometer, you wouldn't know it , aside from the natural weight reduction it has been receiving over the years from harsh elements that have somewhat deteriorated the fine asian american metal.
this specific model of protege has all the bells and whistles. power windows, power moon roof, cruise control, power locks, aftermarket CD player and speakers to get your boom on, and A/C. the A/C was removed for power to weight ratio advantage against other rival imports.
several items have been replaced in the last 6 months on this astonishing hunk of steel. New ball joints, tie rod ends, front struts, wheel bearings, brake pads, shifter bushings, air filter, plugs, wires, serpentine belt, and some other things i probably forgot. tires are near new as well, which is a good thing, as you'll need all the grip you can get. now your probably wondering if this is such a finely crafted automobile, why did parts need replaced? Mazda is a class act facility, but sometimes the suppliers just aren't up to the standards of what this beast needs, plus 92bhp... your gonna wear parts out.
I'm only parting ways with the BROTEGE because i have just purchased a new daily driver, and my significant other was getting tired of all the numbers from hot chicks being left on the car everywhere i take it.
i would only purchase this vehicle if your single, looking for a lot of attention from the opposite sex, and can handle driving a japanese icon that rivals the Supra.
this all comes at a steal of a price $600

i bought a Schuberth S3 and damn is it a nice helmet. I'm a Shoei guy, but the Schuberth might be my go to helmet from now on.
on a side note, got a price on a dark smoked shield for a Schuberth S3?

i have no tuner on the bike, didn't have one on the last bike either, ran good. i will eventually get a tuner for it, but bike runs pretty solid, aside from the jerky low rpm that s common with the 2010-12 multistrada, they have the same issue stock. i just don't lug the bike around low RPM, so it doesn't bother me.

Looking for a good shop to do some work on my forks. Springs, rebuild with new pistons, etc. I'm a bit husky for the suspenders on my fz09...
Any suggestions?

you are honestly better off doing a set of traxxion dynamics fork cartridges if you can swing it. stock forks on the FZ09 only have valving in 1 fork, having 1 valve do all the work, and only rebound adjustment at that, is asking a lot out of those forks. as well the traxxion kit is modular, so if you upgrade bikes, you can pull the kit out, and install it into the next bike with minimal parts. I have installed 2 of these kits in Fz09s with great results. pair that with a nice shock, and its an amazing transformation on that bike.

i have a friend/customer I've been doing work on his FZ09.
first thing we did was powder coat the wheels in an anodized bronze.
then came the fun parts!Traxxion Dynamics AK20 Fork kit up front
2011 R6 Brembo Radial Master cylinder, shorty lever, and Speigler braided brake lines filled with Motul RBF600 fluid. Had to make a custom bracket for the brake fluid reservoir, and powder coated it satin black.
New arrival that just came in today, that will be put on tonight. Custom set up Elka Stage 4 Shock with remote reservoir
Ill be doing a custom fabled exhaust for him, and wrapping the pipes as well.
