  2. Shinkos, Anyone? 18 May 2009 17:57 [image: View Post]JJbigbird, on May 17 2009, 04:31 PM, said: The first set I tried was on my R6, I needed a cheap solution at the time ( I dont own a car, my only transportation for 4 years has been my bikes, my wife…
  3. Shinkos, Anyone? 16 May 2009 18:45 Just spooned on a set of the Stealth 003's this morning (stock 3rd gen sizes). Went out for my normal warm-up/tire scuffing ride. I get to my "testing" area (about 2 miles away) and on my third pass I'm knee on the deck…
  4. Not Sure If I'll Regret This. 6 May 2009 04:10 LSL bar kit....now you got all day comfort AND a bike that hauls the mail and acts like it's on rails. Bullet proof bike as well. Even swap? Sure why not. You only get to live once...might as well try different things.…
  5. Is This Tire Cupping Or Just Wear? 26 Apr 2009 04:50 I'll be riding , but More than likely to the West than east Texas. Your pic looks like west of Sanantone, where's it at? [/quote] Up near Eureka Springs, AR. There are tons of great roads up there...but…

  8. Is This Tire Cupping Or Just Wear? 24 Apr 2009 01:30 normal wear. Time to change it. I have no idea how anyone gets that sort of mileage outta tires. :blink: I'd be way more worried about it being an 04 tire (maybe even a 03). I wouldn't ride on that tire at all. I'd have…

  12. Shinkos, Anyone? 11 Apr 2009 23:13 I am spooning on a set of 003 Stealths for my next set. They are NOT as bad as most would have you believe. :rolleyes: I love how peeps will say they suck and never even ridden on them. :rolleyes: I don't like the 005…
  13. 2006 With 3100 Miles Fs In Shreveport, La 20 Mar 2009 15:13 I'm in Bossier and have seen this bike in person. Let me know if I can be of any assistance to anyone out of town.

  15. Tire Plugs 15 Mar 2009 20:03 I'll plug it to get home, but then take the tire off and do a proper plug-patch from the inside for piece of mind. Replacing a tire for a simple puncture is :goofy: As long as it's near the center of the tire. :fing02:…
  16. Changing Own Tires 7 Mar 2009 19:59 Next time around, go to NAPA and get a bottle of Ru-Glyde. You'll thank me later. It takes all the work out of spooning on new tires (removal also). Good lube is the key.
  17. How Do You Make Winter Shorter? 30 Jan 2009 17:15 Move south. What winter? :biggrin:
  18. Rode A New 6th Gen Yesterday 20 Jan 2009 00:40 [image: View Post]Pete McCrary, on Jan 19 2009, 04:15 PM, said: Many of us like the "largeness/bigness of the 6th Gen". I owned an SV650 before the VFR. At 6'-2+" and 265#, I looked and felt like a fat monkey humping a…

  20. Rode A New 6th Gen Yesterday 19 Jan 2009 16:08 Can you elaborate a little more? Did you really feel the VTEC kick in? Bigger...Bulkier ??? hmmm... I have a 3rd Gen too and I can't imagine anything bigger and bulkier ?? that wouldn't be good... [/quote] sure. Yes,…
  21. Rode A New 6th Gen Yesterday 19 Jan 2009 04:43 Not all that impressed. Handling is good, but as far as the rest of it goes, not really an improvement from the 3rd gen I have now. Bigger, bulkier, and that Vtech crap you can keep. :blink: I'll take my good ol fashion…
  22. 1993 Remus High Mount Exhaust 31 Dec 2008 21:43 Looks good. 13ruce....I never got a reply from you on purchasing some parts from you. :cool: What happened to the seat cover? Cams? Air duct out of left…
  23. Got The Hard Bags Installed On My 07 Rwb! 21 Dec 2008 03:04 Man I love that paint scheme. :wub: I like the white bags. Works real well. :fing02:
  24. Self Installation 19 Dec 2008 02:39 RuGlyde from Napa is your friend. That's the tire lubricant. It takes all the work out of it. Slick stuff and make for seating the bead much easier also. :fing02:
  25. Helmet Speakers 8 Dec 2008 02:51 Find some better ear buds that don't stick out as much, or fit your ear better. Helmet speakers do not block out any noise, so to avoid hearing damage you will also have to use earplugs, which will block out the…
  26. Jardine Rt-1 Slip On Pipe 14 Oct 2008 22:14 A fairly common name on the same quality as D&D, not great but OK. :fing02: I'd rate them a bit better than the D&D stuff. More along the lines of 2 Brothers IMO. I've heard a set of them on a RC-51 and they sounded…
  27. Satellite Radio 3 Sep 2008 04:27 How you get it all hooked up on the bike depends on what unit you have. There are many different mounts for each radio or unit. I don't really like the cradle type radios. I have worn out one Roady2 and am on my 2nd one…
  28. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 19 Aug 2008 15:12 Just wanted to add my .02 on this... Most car audio shops have quality wire (in just about any gauge you need) and connectors for just about any of these wiring upgrades. Easy to source, and cost is pretty decent.…
  29. 4th Gen Fork Swap Options 5 Aug 2008 22:06 CBR600 F3 forks are a direct swap into a 4th gen. The only difference is the length of the axle. The wheel and rotors are identical, and the VFR calipers mount without modification. What needs to be done to the axle?…
