  6. 5 th gen VFR 7 Sep 2010 16:02 You need to have your upper and lower mounts aligned with each other first. Then if the handle bars dont align you may have 1 or two bent fork tubes and possible bent triple. I doubt your frame is bent.

  18. Trouble fitting Givi WIngrack 28 Jun 2010 15:03 I have a good subframe and footrest if you end up needing to replace. Otherwise it is straight forward to put on the rack as long as everything on the wingrack is mounted in the same holes on each side.

  24. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 21 Sep 2009 15:34 AndyJ I put my 929 shock into my 5th gen today. I used part of a 1/4" x 1 1/4" kart axle for the spacer, and made it 45mm longer than stock including the washer. Heavy and not as elegant as some of the other beautiful…

  31. Not In Cali Any More 19 Aug 2009 00:46 Sometimes its about the bigger picture and doing less harm to the environment rather than worry about an extra pound of emission equipment.....
  32. Not In Cali Any More 18 Aug 2009 05:05 Mine is all complete and it runs its best just as it is. DOnt mess with things that work.....ok most of the time thats true. You will be better off to loose 10lbs then remove it for any power gains.

  35. Diy - Powder Coated Rc30 Wheel. 17 Aug 2009 02:50 What about the other side and parts that lay on the rack will have marks in them? Usually you need a hanging point to eliminate any marks while the powder coating is in the oven and curing.

  45. Succesfull Twin Exhaust? 13 May 2009 06:22 Had a set of those at first - HUGE and HEAVY! not really an option if you want them under the tail. They looked cool as a dual side high mount thou. Learn from my mistake but I did resell them locally.
