No vibration at 110, so I got a good balance on the tires. I didn't get to take any good turns yet. That will come tomorrow. I can tell the difference in the tire height. I am now on my tippy toes. Think you will be impressed on how quick it will turn in now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 I was gonna wash it but figured what's the point, it's gonna get dirty tomorrow. Checked the tires, tightened highway pegs, changed oil, and cleaned the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer_kaw Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Thanks. Took advantage of the cool weather after the storms and worked on it till the wee hours of the morning. Figured I wouldn't be getting up for the ride since it was cancelled. Turns out there's plenty of guys still heading out so I'm gonna have to shake out the cob webs and get moving.

Al Z. Heimer Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 A little project I tried with my Harbor Freight lift table. Wheeling a Vfr or A VStrom or my Super Hawk up onto table is pretty easy. You can also put the kickstand down without issue. Bigger bikes that you need to ride up onto the table is another story. Not enough room to put your feet down and if you center the bike the kickstand is useless. It is scary. I had these ramps in the rafters and decided put them to use. Made some bracketed and they just slide into place and are easily removed. Work pretty well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptchaos Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 So the epic ride made me re-evaluate my current bike choice so I'm now in negotiations for the below sexy beast. Friday hopefully the rubber hits the road and I'll let you all know how it went. 2012 ZX6R, 4400 miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
