it is...

have you ever set your sag?

thats where you need to start.

going from 200-190, wouldn't your ride height be changed? that could affect your geo and make things squirrely. It may not look like a lot, but there is a noticeable difference between 2mm and 1mm of ride height change on my bike. yours may be different though.

someone else chime in if im wrong.

i dont want to take away from this thread, it was an excellent movie as stated.

if you want the movie, let me know.

yes we are.

the movie Taken (where the dad's daughter is kidnapped in france) was out on DVD on Nov 5 of 08.

"out" is used loosely here...

maybe next time you don't tighten it as much and just safety wire it...

actually the DVD was released on Nov 5 of 08.

i just got it mid january, my bad on the dates.

I got a 1/2 inch air powered impact Nicky. I can drop it off with Nathan tonight and he can bring it to ya tomorrow.

um what?

dude no shit i was nearly picking the bike i was working on up off the ground. it wont help freaking crazy

why not push the breaker bar/cheater pipe down instead of pulling up? Use your weight to help...

did you put it in gear...?

do you need my muscle to help you out nick?

this has been out since mid january...

but yes it's a good one, watched it three times.

gonna try to do the same thing this year and really get my fix at the track.

+1. budgeting on 5-7 trackdays this coming year. goal is to be running 1:41-1:43's at mid oh by the end of the summer. we'll see though.

before:

that was 4mm lowered, now its 1.5mm like i said earlier

i knew that question would come up.

no i do not have my front end lowered at all (well i do, its 1.5mm lower). stock OEM bars came above the triple. the new vortex clip ons i got are much taller and would stick out above the forks like a sore thumb, so I, along with a lot of other first gen r6ers, put them under the triple.

end result: the pic you see above, looks like its lowered, but its not at all.

new brake setup:

new brembo clear hose and moto-r reservoir mount

wide view:

reason i did this was because with the new clipons, the old reservoir mount would hit the clip on and be unable to correctly mount the reservoir. after contemplating what to do, even going to our local machine shop and creating my own, i opted to go with this setup. the moto-r mount is only 8 bucks and is easy to use (slips right on the end of the clip on with set screw).

the hardest part of this was getting the hose the right length. to short and it would kink, and not make that new angle, too long and it would hit the upper fairing mount. this is pretty much perfect.

only thing i have to do now is reroute those throttle cables, and fix the upper cowling. i somehow lost 4 screws that hold the fairing stay to the cowling itself, even though i never took it apart over winter :shrug weird.

and it was apparent when i went to ride with the upper cowling mounted that i need to reroute those cables, it would get caught and bind up against the stay to frame mount and prevent full turning capabilities as well as trigger some throttle.

this should i help:

i use this site for all my WTB needs/wants

FYI: i never actually went to the link, i just copied/pasted what the search gave me...sorry if nothing useful pops up.

my loss your gain.

everything pictured is what you get. reservoir, cap, plus gasket/seal under cap

9.01 on yoyo's site.

ill take $5 (+S/H , or pickup/dropoff).

reason selling: bought it to make the yoyo 25 minimum purchase. i have no real need for it.

im sure we will be riding together come warm weather. i ride up there all the time going to Delaware.

and make sure you go on a hocking hills ride.

i went around the block just because i couldn't take it.

im going across the street to correct the tire pressure and then more of the sit and wait for parts game.

can you say dream garage?

took the bike out today, even though i probably shouldn't have...

i don't have any front brakes (i do but no reservoir...) and coolant leaking. but i couldn't resist the urge, took it around the block and it was good.

new hose coming in on thursday and new brake setup coming in hopefully by saturday.

man this blizzard is really pounding us here in cbus...

seems like a cool kid.

i dont have any problems with this squid.

how did you end up getting this deal with kawi?

so go in the direction of informative rather than competitive(ish)? is that what you and brian are talking about? (well brian is just trying to nuke this whole thing...lol)
