playerpro153 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I'm just curious what kind of winter projects people plan on doing with their bikes. I know even when I can't ride mine, I can't leave it alone so I'm constantly working on the thing. I have kind of a long list of things for the bike and have started already:1. Clip-ons2. Black Stone Tech wheels3. Galfer wave rotors4. Barnett Clutch plates5. Radiator Fluid change6. Valve check and/or adjustment7. Race tech fork springs8. Fork oil change9. Fabricate carbon fiber fairingsIt's gonna be an expensive winter but I'm working plenty of OT to finish the job and then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to try to make an aluminum swingarm - always wanted to do something like that. Have all of the needed equipment; milling machines, lathes, welders, etc - just never had a bike that needed one.If you'll buy the aluminum stock, I'll make it for you. Shouldn't cost too much at all.Have any good pictures of the OEM swingarm that I can see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) Larry, there is a good chance Dustin might help you but you would have to ask. Thats a pretty major job. Hey since you said you want to upgrade your HIDs, will you sell your current ones to me? I want the same color you have and it would be cheaper than buying new. Do you have the thin ballest? Why do you want to upgrade? how much better can you really get? Edited November 5, 2008 by xtremef4i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Im going to switch to a 6k. I dont have the slim ballasts but I can show you where to put them. One of the ballasts is on the fritz im sure jarvis could fix it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-flores Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 ummm... I don't plan on buying anything yet, I am probably going to set up the bike in order to sell her, and buy an 07-08 decently setup trackbike... But not 100% sure about that yet.

Since I put the R1 calipers on I might need some R1 lines. (mine work for now but I think I'll want to change them anyways.) We could maybe work out a trade. You get me the R1 lines and I'll give you my lines plus a set of Vesrah pads! Teamwork yea!! Edited November 5, 2008 by Kip Drordy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
