ok i get the math behind it 2+2=4 yada yada...
how do you get those numbers?

don't use the rear brake, problem solved
well if you really wanna be gutsy, teh back brake can solve your problems not create more..
ie instead of chopping the throttle upsetting the suspension because your running wide a little bit of rear brake will fix it and tighten your line...

there are lot of cbus riders heading down to dayton.
check out the "ride 7/27" thread in the dayton subforum
just another idea.
-
careful with HH pads (thats what im assuming since you didn't say otherwise) in the rear, your going to be more prone to lock it up since its a "stickier" compound.
be very careful.

i had them on my bike, and i helped put them on my friends bike.
he likes them a lot, they were cool for me but then when i was doing my winter cleaning i pulled them off and just decided to not put them on again.
they are pretty bright if you put them in good spots, i think the usual is under the tail, under the front and in the side.
i would recommend getting the power module, makes it compact and easy. plus it lets you plug everything into that, while you still only have two wires going to the battery.
o and one more thing, i would get the flexi strips over the solid mounts, if you plan on getting those long strips of led lights.

nope none come stock with them. mine and the kawis i had made by the same person that did the rest of my decals. and gruff got his from the pony!
ah well my mistake, their are just so many bikes with them on now...
-
i believe most of the bikes in these pics come with factory stripes, except for the gixxer thats aftermarket
they "reflect," not glow to be technically correct haha

ha OSU medical center is supposed to be world class
or maybe thats just their cancer research and everything else is crap because they budget all their money towards the james and leave nothing for the rest.

30-40 bucks per side
thats 60-80 total

An eight-year-old boy who had set his heart on 'marrying' his school sweetheart achieved his final wish the day before he died of leukaemia.

Given only weeks to live, Reece Fleming proposed to his 'special friend' Elleanor Purgslove at a laser tag party.
After she accepted, their parents arranged a make-believe wedding at Reece's home in Mackworth, Derby. He died the next day with his family.
Reece's mother Lorraine Fleming said he told her, "I can go now" after his wish had been granted.
The 28-year-old said: ""He was so proud of her, and we were proud of them both."
Reece was diagnosed with leukaemia in July 2004, when he was aged just four.
He fought the disease for four years until May when doctors told him he had just weeks to live.
Ms Fleming, said she and his stepfather Mick Thompson had tried to help him achieve as much as possible before his death, including marrying his sweetheart.
"When we found out that we only had a few weeks with him we tried to do absolutely everything with him that we could.
"Him and Ellie had been 'special friends' for a couple of years but then they broke up.
"We said we'd have a pirate party, and Ellie came. She went to visit Reece a few times in hospital as well.
She added: "We also had a football and laser quest party, apparently that's when he proposed to her."
The pair went out to dinner in the mayor's limousine and the families organised a 'wedding', complete with rings, a stand-in vicar and a certificate.
The ceremony was carried out on July 4 and the following day Reece died at home with his family and a Macmillan nurse.
At his funeral, mourners followed a horse-drawn hearse on foot.
Ms Fleming added: "Even on the Saturday that he died, he got out of bed and walked to the sofa.
"He always tried walking, right to the end, so we thought if he walked for us then we would walk for him."
so sad.

your just jealous nick haha
one day you will be sporting them. hell most of the bikes come that way from the factory nowadays or so it seems.
-
finishing my brake setup off this winter with that very combination
and i thought just doing pads was a good improvement, guess im in for a shock

I'm new to the group riding thing and don't do much twisties. Mostly just cruise around since none of my friends ride. How aggressive are you guys in a group ride and do you all sport full leathers. I ride with a jacket, gloves, and helmet.
don't forget your underwear...
don't worry about your riding style, this will be twisty for sure. we won't kick you out because your too slow. with this group being as large as its sounds like its going to be, there will be people who are in the same boat as you. and go at your own pace, we will always wait for you at a stop sign or change of direction.
i know their will be a few of us riding full leathers myself included if my back can handle it.
we OR guys are here to help not to make fun.

whats up with the rim stripes on honda. there glowing
awesome quality stuff man and A++ costumer service.
i think the reflective rimtape is the most popular item from them.
-
-
i've never heard of lowering pegs, although i can see why.
the only kinds i know of raise and push it back for a more aggressive style.
-
reflective rim tape FTW haha
that Kawasaki looks pretty nice especially with the monster stickers.
i used to be a kawi guy before i turned to yamahas...
-
at least you get noticed.
id rather be annoying as hell and be noticed than have some lady pull out in front of me claiming she didn't see me coming.

im going to break out my email...

ok this is the owner of calsportbike.com, names todd, very knowledgeable and friendly guy. i recommend him to anyone.
my questions in italics his response:
Question: Galfer or EBC HH pads?
You sold me on the fact that galfer holds its friction longer per say than
ebc. if it were on a graph the friction line would be horizontal for galfer
and negative slope for ebc. i just dont have the facts to back it up.
can you help me out on this?
EBC pads have stronger initial bite since their higher copper content means
they build heat faster. But according to THEIR OWN marketing ads, their peak
friction rating is .6u. Galfer is .7u, or roughly 15% higher peak friction,
which means stopping power. However, Galfer uses higher ceramic content in
their sintered mix, meaning the pads cool faster thus they put less thermal
demand on the rotors, so they're more "rotor friendly" than EBC pads. Also,
a difference in feel comes because ceramic builds heat in a more linear
fashion, so some people THINK EBC pads are better, but it's a difference in
FEEL (only initial bite) not in peak performance. Like having a car geared
strong in 1st and 2nd but gets beat in the 1/4 mile, ya know?
O and am i correct in saying that rotors and pads have to be made by the
same company? For instance you can't get ebc pads with galfer rotors or
vice versa yes?
It's a very good idea to use rotors and pads from the same company in many
cases, mostly because they only warranty their components to work together.
Makes sense, because they would use THEIR pads to test on their rotors, so
Galfer, EBC, Ferodo, and others, tend to not want to warranty rotors if you
use someone else's pads. And quite right IMO.
one more question: can you compare the different series of galfer HH pads.
I know we had discussed this as well between the 1396 series and the 1375
series and whatever other HH line they have.
The one numbers that matter for you is 1375 versus 1370. 1396 is for offroad
applications basically. So the 1370 and 1375 are both bronze-based ceramic
compound. However the 1375 also adds a ceramic coated backing plate, which
is a heat barrier to lessen thermal bleed through to the caliper pistons and
thus the fluid. Any time you lower the temp of your fluid, the more you stay
away from the dreaded boiling point which causes total fluid degradation. So
this is why the 1375 compound is more expensive, but is much more popular
for track riders and serious sport riders who understand the facts about
braking performance.
Now, to help you understand that I'm not just cheerleading Galfer and
ignoring anything else...understand that I don't always run Galfer pads on
MY OWN bikes. In fact, my Ducati 888SPO has Ferodo XRAC pads on BrakeTech
Axis ductile iron rotors, which is a step UP from the Galfer setup. But the
iron rotors can stand up to the higher thermal demand of the XRAC pads.
And on my track bike, with a Brembo setup and 19x18 radial master cylinder,
I really loved the Galfer 1375HH pads since they complemented the way the
radial master applies a lot of force quickly. I actually tried Vesrah pads
(sort of between Ferodo and Galfer in friction) and they were too abrupt, so
I wanted a more linear feel for predictability in all conditions.
Hope this helps!

Gawd it is only the first 6 turns (1 minute) that tend to have a little gravel out of a 3 hour ride.
a little gravel can be a big problem... but thats ok because you'll be in front so if you go down i know when to slow down lol
im sort of tempted to go out there and sweep those corners haha
-
well for me leaving from my house at 10 (i live 5 minutes from the mtg place) and then i didn't get back til 130-2 and i left early...
assuming we are doing the "norm"
just be careful on the second road after you get on 42, little rocky other than that have fun!

you talking about the cbus/cincy/dayton ride on sunday?
i wanna hear this thing.

you mean the part where everyone goes home?
yea it was a good 20 minute ride for me lol
