As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Shoei RF-1100 best thing I ever put on my head.
Somethings just are not good and cheap.
 
Same with my buddie's five something hundred dollar Arai. Couldn't believe my head could be so comfortable in a helmet.
 
The Shoei looks nice! I'll try one on whenever I go to a dealer.

Now... How loud are these engines supposed to be? There is a lot of valve noise. My camera can't capture the sound of it though. I just rechecked the valves and they are all within spec.
 
Just got a nice set of horns today. Thanks Baatfam!

Does anyone know what size bolts I'll need for them?

It's probably less than 6mm long. I'll have to check it out. I'm pretty sure I have those laying around somewhere...


Now I have some bad news. I found a pretty nice set of bodywork on eBay but I do not have enough money (because I bought riding gear :mad:). The seller said that he will not hold them for a week either. The next best thing to do is pass it on to you guys.

I LOOOOVE the color!!! But does SVSooke like it? :p

Man... Riding gear will always be there on eBay but a nice set of bodywork will not.
 
I guess no one likes the bodywork... Well I do! :mad:

Now that's the thing. I don't have enough money right now. The seller will require immediate payment. I already asked if he could hold it for a week but he doesn't want to take that risk. :( I understand though...
 
The tank has a nasty dent and the panel that is adjacent to it may be damaged from the same impact. I cannot see ti clearly in the picture.

Never fall in love on ebay.
Fall in love on Filipina brides r us.

I don't mind the dent. The side cover looks to be undamaged from the fall. If you have seen my bodywork in person, then you know that it's ugly. Just about anything is an upgrade. :rolleyes:
 
FC the condition of your bodywork looks fine to me, and that dent will be a bugger to get out where it is...

If you're looking for an alternative set, be patient and wait for a better set to come along, at least that's what I'd do given yours is more than useable for the moment.
 
Shipping is between $80-$90. My max bid is probably $100 right now. But you really don't have to if that's what your thinking.

The seller said that he'd include GSXR triples and a bent front wheel if I win. Interesting proposal but...
 
Shipping a bent wheel sounds like a losing proposition.
80 bucks is insane on the shipping as well. He is gouging.
I had a tanked shipped from FLA to Canada for 50 USD.
 
FC...that body work may be better than yours, but it's not good...

Let it go, get the bike running good and then worry about cosmetics...
Keep your eye out and before next spring you will find a nice set of body panels....
They come up now and then...
 
It already is running good. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I'll let it go. Love the color on it though. :rolleyes:

I guess I'll just focus on the electrical problem like I should be which I haven't even looked at yet...
