Last 50 of 56- Track Day at Willow Springs Sun. Oct. 23 Sounds like a blast. The last track day I did was several years ago; actually with you Capt. Bob and the BTE crew. Bummer I missed this one.
- Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA Well, I am officially out for this year; in KC for a funeral. Have fun and ride safe guys! -Mike
- San Diego County 9/4/16 Family stuff came up last minute. Have to back out for tomorrow. Have fun and be safe guys & gals!
- San Diego County 9/4/16 I'm in. I'll blast up the 5 early and meet you guys at the Starbucks. Should have new rubber fitted tomorrow so this will be a good opportunity to scrub them in!
- Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA Sorry for being MIA. I'm 50/50 in at this point. My grandma is on her way out, and I'm in a holding pattern to see when she passes. This is a bummer in many ways. Sfdownhill I'll PM you if I end up being able to go. I…
- Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to do the full extensions that I currently have planned. Due to testing at work I might have to blast up from SD late Friday, then back down to SD on Monday. I'm still hoping to…
- Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA I'm in as long as I can get it squared away with work; I'll figure that out tomorrow and post up if I'm for sure in. If I do join, then I may try to plug in this route on the front and back-end of this ride. Any other…
- 7-Day Central CA Ride - September-ish 2016 If Brian already has a Sept. ride in the works I'll defer to that ride. I'll leave this thread open for now, but may remove it when Brian posts up. Regardless, thanks for the route feedback guys!
- 7-Day Central CA Ride - September-ish 2016 I'm planning a seven day ride that will hit a few of the famous LA roads, many of the western Sierras highlights, and Big Sur. I've done probably 75% of the roads on my planned route, and I can say the ride will go…
- Official Ca Meet: Tour De Sur April Trip I haven't been on VFRD in a while, but on a whim I logged in to see if there was much activity in SoCal. I would be all over this ride if my wife wasn't due in a week. Have fun guys, and take some pictures :beer: .
- Bay Area & Central Ca Overnighter - 9/7 & 9/8 - Southern Sierras Very interested in this If a SoCal guy can join. Right now I wouldn't be able to make this because of work, but my schedule is subject to change. I'll be watching this thread for sure.
- Great Summary Of "necessary" Gear And Why. Quoted From User ~Moldbuster~ On Ninjette.org e careful with some companies advertising claims. Tensile strength numbers are of little use (IMO), and abrasion resistance is the only number which should be considered.
- Plasti-Dip Testing With Pics I figure the last thing we need is another PlastiDip thread so I'll add my thoughts here Pros Super easy to apply Hides small imperfections Easy to remove overspray or undo mistakes Cons Terrible in terms of wear. Don't…
- Plastic Weld Or Epoxy ... Remember, the ABS cement you buy is just ABS plastic dissolved with a solvent (I think acetone). I used it to repair my fairing, but as others mentioned, would recommend using a soldering iron or some fiberglass tape…
- Steel Braided Lines Nice! :fing02:
- Repsol Honda May Be In Good Hands After All. Going to be a great year with Marquez's raw talent, Pedrosa back on form, Lorenzo determined as ever, and Rossi getting his Mojo back. Sadly though, I already miss Stoner.
- New Gear For Socal Riding (Stich Vs. Motoport) Great feed back WERA803. I had read some of your threads on here when you were considering switching to the Motoport and I'm glad to hear you are still happy with your decision. I know in GA it was a little easier…
- Plasti-Dip Testing With Pics Be careful to not use Plastidip on anything that sees a lot of heat. I have seen people use it on track wheels for Miatas and the heat cycles basically bond it permanently to the wheel. They had to use industrial stuff…
- New Gear For Socal Riding (Stich Vs. Motoport) Great points! It is great to hear from someone who has experience with both products. I do have a couple of questions though. 1) You say the Motoport is actually warmer, and I find this surprising. Is this comparing the…
- New Gear For Socal Riding (Stich Vs. Motoport) I've decided to sell my car and go strictly to two wheels. I've already been commuting on the bike for the past 3 months, so the car just doesn't get used anymore and the wife has a car for emergencies. I've been using…
- 5th Generation Windscreens BR nailed it. I have a Chinese fairing on my 5th gen and it does not have the front tabs. The fit is pretty terrible, and is uneven when viewing from the front. However, it is only like $20-$30 if I remember correctly,…
- 5th gen adjustable RearSets Not sure if this helps, but I'll ship out this right side bracket. [image: Posted Image]
- Penske 8987 Rear Shock on a 5th Gen Well I finally have this all sorted :smile: . I worked out a deal with the seller, and actually kept the shock. I have already ordered a new spring, as the current spring is only 850lb/in. In the end I am happy, and I…
- Penske 8987 Rear Shock on a 5th Gen I'm considering keeping the shock, if I can work out a new price with the seller. I would of loved to have the trick 8987, but I think the double adjustable would still be a huge improvement over stock. Any advice for…
- Penske 8987 Rear Shock on a 5th Gen Good call Trash, it is an 8981. I contacted Penske and they got back to me, really quickly I might add, that it is a double adjustable 8981, which they don't even make any more. Penske also mentioned that the spring…
- Penske 8987 Rear Shock on a 5th Gen I think I got swindled guys! :pissed: The shock arrived today, and it doesn't appear to be an 8987. There are not high and low speed adjustment on the remote reservoir. Can you suspension gurus help me identify this…
- Penske 8987 Rear Shock on a 5th Gen Well I pulled the trigger; $500 for a barely used (200 miles on it) 8987 seemed hard to pass up. If it isn't as good a deal as I thought, oh well I can handle it. I might have to get a new spring in it though. Thanks…
- Penske 8987 Rear Shock on a 5th Gen Thanks BR. That is what I had read as well. I was worried that the Penske wouldn't be a bolt on affair, but it sounds like it is simply plug and play. Only issue is that it might be too highly sprung. The PO isn't sure…
- Penske 8987 Rear Shock on a 5th Gen I'm curious if anyone has done this install on a 5th gen, and has pictures? Any comments on the install? 929 conversion vs. Penske 8987 comparison (if price is around the same)? I've searched, and there are only a…
- What's the best electrical solution for added accessories? You'll need this: http://www.powerlet....socket-cable/10
- What's the best electrical solution for added accessories? [image: View Post]DesignGoggles, on 12 June 2012 - 10:17 AM, said: Also, I didn't go with a powerlet because I felt it would interfere with the positioning of the RAM mount which is attached to the fuel tank screws. I…
- How does your workshop look like? A shared garage in an apartment complex is not ideal, but you'd be surprised what all you can do with limited space. However, the biggest limitation is that I cannot leave anything out overnight, or the HOA gets pissy.…
- What's the best electrical solution for added accessories? I would recommend a Powerlet in the steering stem. You can then buy a powerlet to cigarette adapter, plug in a 3 port cigarette block (stored in your tank bag), and you'll have plenty of ports. However, as hondalover…
- Request for paint shop in PDX Good to hear from you Frodus, and I'm glad you're still in the e-bike scene. Do post pics once you get it all painted and assembled!
- Suzuki back to MotoGP with an inline-4? That is totally what Stoner was referring to. He has never supported the CRTs, and I'm with him.
- San Bernardino/Crestline/ACH/Wrightwood Loop 5/13/12 Damn, I wish you were doing this a week later! I can't make this one, but I'm definitely down for this loop some other time. -Mike
- Stainless Steel Brake Lines Question - Street & Track Use Great tips everyone! I'll have plenty to do this weekend. -Mike
- Stainless Steel Brake Lines Question - Street & Track Use Oh and to clarify, I cleaned that crap out 8 months ago with a q-tip. Not to say I got every last piece, but I dug out what I could.
- Stainless Steel Brake Lines Question - Street & Track Use I'm not sure what could be wrong. I don't use a vacuum bleeder tool, as to be absolutely certain no air is introduced. I have followed the procedure down to the T, and yet I can still pull the lever to the bar. I…
- Stainless Steel Brake Lines Question - Street & Track Use I'm really at a loss as far as further steps I could take during bleeding. I have followed the correct procedure, listed here and in the Haynes manual, twice in the last 8 months. You know, follow the correct bleed…
- Stainless Steel Brake Lines Question - Street & Track Use All, I know the link vs. de-link debate has been going on forever so I won't beat a dead horse. I don't plan on doing a front end swap anytime soon, so I think the consensus is to stick with the linked system. The bike…
- Aftermarket Turn Signals? Thanks for the reply. I think I am going to mold my own carbon fiber inserts, then mount LED turnsignals on the insert. The plastic mounts for the left signal are broken out, so I might as well start from scratch.…
- Aftermarket Turn Signals? Going to bump this thread because my left turn signal flew off on the highway yesterday! The fairing was already busted up around the turn signal, but I didn't think it was weak enough to cause the whole assemby to fall…
- Here is a great little Canadian Motorcycle adventure Movie Watched it last night as well on Netflix On Demand. It was alright... Interesting story. Mike
- Going to Moto GP at Laguna Seca this year I camped when I went in '07, and I would camp again. We took a bus to and from our camp site and it was pretty convenient. I would go into more details, but I'm at work and really don't have the time. There might be…
- WTB: Manual for 1986 VF500F I have a pdf of the Clymer's manual if anyone is interested. I tried to use the attachments feature, but it was taking forever. Just let me know if you would like a copy. Mike
- Doing A Body Count.... Update Nov. 29 Insallation begins I too will be following this thread with great interest. Best of luck with the install!
- Restoring a VFR headlight I used this kit on my '99 Honda Accord and was also pleased with the results. Nice piece of kit, but make sure you put plenty of tape around your headlight(s). I scratched up my bumper with the sandpaper, simply because…
- Baileyrock Crashes At Nashville Superspeedway Man, I hate hearing news like this. Hope you are feeling better soon BR. :(
- Stupid Question Of The Day! Pic To Prove It... Yes exactly. They are there to give the rider an idea of how far over the bike is. It is not uncommon for them to be removed (just unscrew).
