    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

welcome back to life, good sir.

welcome back to life, good sir.

bouncing back is not as it was when we were 19, alas.
 
Good job buddy. Now you can finish healing and work on it over the winter.

How is the shoulder mate?
 
Hoomie,
shoulder healed long ago and is feeling great. back to pushin over 2 plates on the bench. it was the post op infection that did me in for months. but all healthy busy at work.

got to get back to selling all my extra parts and ridin.
 
I've got an idea for an under the seat exhaust for this winter. With my new bandit swingarm there is room to bring it up and under the new alum inner fender I want to fab.
The only hitch will be what it does to performance. Oh yeh, I am sure there are many more hitches I just don't know about yet
 
I figured you had some new ideas in mind :wink:

Thanks for sharing. Now get to work! :lol:
 
GOOD AS NEW.....

I keep losing the rear reflectors....going to leave them off and fill the holes.

found a nice set of shocks finally.

WorksPerformance "Racer series"

I am getting them custom made with black main springs and red helper springs and a smooth res. Don't like the finns. I am also switching to an "eye" lower mount instead of the stock clevis.

Are they ever cheap compared to the ohlins....750.00 compaired to the 1200 ohlins

Yes, I agree about those fins... they look like a set of shockies out of 'The Jetsons'.

I assume that, for the price, they are compression & rebound adjustable?

Mike.
 
Yeh Mike...Jetson's. They look way too funky for me. They are charging me for the smooth black cans though.

These are preload , ride height adj, and compression damp. the rebound damp is 200.00 more.

these are realllll nice. fully adjstable and only 799.99 but contact my seat and cosmetics so I would hve to mod some.

Those shockies look great, and they certainly sound like they have all the fruit. All of which is v. important given all the mods you've done/ are doing. You should be able to get the suspension 'tuned' just right!
 
my front forks are what they should be either so I am sending down to GP Suspensions for a racetec upgrade this winter.

So next season the suspention will be dialed in nice.

I have a really nice 2002 gixxer front end I was considering putting on but if I racetec my current forks I will sell the other frontend and wheels I guess.

Click to expand...

an old 'trick' was to mount them upside down... :wink:
 
I thought of that. They also told me they can index the can out but....it would have to be tooo much.
