  1. Thanks for the recommendation. Any experience comparing this to the optimum no rinse?
  2. **nevermind, its posted here: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58075
  3. you're not going to get any big gains from an otherwise stock bike with it, but it will smooth your throttle response. make sure you're not detonating after the install!
  4. damn, winter setup looks better than the summer setup! I'm surprised you went with 17" for the winter, it looks like 16s would clear, and you get the benefit of cheaper tires and less chance of pothole damage.

  6. Don't do it, those are junk. Add another $500 and pick up a decent Honda 300EX. More fun, more resale value, more reliable?
  7. A quad at wayne is asking for trouble if you get off the main corridor in my opinion. Last one I had was an LTZ450. Pretty decent quad and can be found cheap.
  8. Get some skills learned or responsibilities listed for each work reference. Purge any work history that isnt relevant to the position you are applying for to keep it to 1pg. Any gaps can be discussed in the interview.
  9. there's at least one person on ebay that buys the non-working ones to repair. sold mine that way.
  10. If you feel like dismounting them PM me a price. I don't need the wheels, but would like to get the tires from you.
  11. I did... forks up = triple down.
  12. I personally hate Invisible glass. Bought a can a couple years ago and can barely get through it. I use sparkle. It actually cleans instead of moving smears around. Tarminator, on the other hand, works miracles. amazing on treesap. amazing.
  13. You're wasting your money. This is the same thing as ethylene glycol based anti-freeze with water wetter.
  14. avoid oil with friction modifiers. Galfer HH pads and stainless front lines are the shit. Fine for the street, you will never be able to ride stock after using them. I always keep the stock pads and rubber line in the rear. To compensate for the 70 front tire on my R6 I raised the fork tubes 3mm through the triple. Definitely better than stock when laid over. K&N usually end up being a waste on these newer bikes. I'd recommend a fresh set of plugs over the air filter depending on mileage.
  15. Yeah, I basically realized that while typing so I added the "or something useful" part. How much was that 30 minute prime time obama special, 4mil? Stupid.
  16. Agreed. They should have put the money for all those BS commercials into reducing our national debt or something useful.
  17. you can send your hubs here http://www.buchananspokes.com/ and they will lace/true them. They sell the rims too. Shits not going to be cheap no matter the vendor. Might also want to contact Factory Pro. Their website blows ass but they can do anything. Or you could rock a 80/20 dual sport tire on your stock wheels, just to make sure you like it. *heres another one, how many hole are your hubs? http://www.wheelwrightusa.com/html/rims___spokes.html
  18. do you plan on tracking it? forged are lighter...heh
  19. wheelingcyclesupply.com (sell smpro) motostrano.com speedzilla.com www.procycle-online.com onoffroad.com http://www.rtrwheellacing.com There is another place based out of Colorado that I really liked the pricing of, does custom lacing, cant come up with their website right now. check thumpertalk and supermotojunkie classifieds for used ones.
  20. If you like craigslist, you'll love http://www.crazedlist.org
  21. Anyone use it? I understand it has "hiding" abilities for light swirls, should I take this comment as an exaggeration? Is it better to not hide and have them corrected? The car in question has 500 miles on it, I hate to use an abrasive already. It's also a Subaru, who I understand is notorious for thin paint. Car is black, swirls can be seen under direct sunlight, also some light hazing (drying a non-clean finish?). I cant believe the shitty job the dealership has done washing it to this point. I guess if the z5 doesn't do the trick I can always resort to an abrasive.
