  1. very nice, who is the manufacturer? hows the wake?
  2. well most tank bags have mags in them now. i was going to mount metal plates to the underside of the tank cover, directly under the bag. that way i can still just "pull" the bag off and take it with me.
  3. the compression fittings are 1/4 to 1/8, i got those at ace hardware. the 1/4 is at the hose end, where the air line is going into. but they didnt have the 1/8 schrader valve fitting. i found those at parker supply. they were in a goodyear center. they have all kinds of hydraulic stuff. since they didnt have a female schrader, i used a coupling between them. with loctite, about 20.00. if you have a hard time finding the pieces let me know, ill pick them up and you can paypal me.
  4. was just at dealer picking up friends sv1000 and grabbed some more ngk's. thanks.
  5. thanks a lot!!
  6. i think the sea foam is fouling out my plugs. i used the ngk's recommended by the manul. has anyone tried a different plug? in your opinion, which is best?
  7. i was thinking about a magnetic tank bag. i was going to mount three plates of metal to the underside of my false tank cover. but then, got to thinking, i remounted the tci to the air box. will the magnets mess with it? any thoughts? has anyone tried this?
  8. very cool. did hang-gliding one time at nags head. very scarily awesome! i will stick to my usual stuff: skydiving, scuba, mtb,camping, hiking,hunting, bodysurfing, and riding!
  9. these are what im going with. ships in 24hrs for about 20.00! look pretty bright too!http://store.ijdmtoy.com/12-LED-Daytime-Running-Light-DRL-Driving-Lamp-p/led_ddl_sku69.htm. and a 90 day warranty.
  10. thanks. the pump that you linked to is 42 gph, the airtex is 15-20. what would be a better choice?
  11. what are the recommendations for spare fuel pump? thinking about taking a trip. what other spare parts would you recommend?
  12. ok, so without getting into the brand too much, what are the recommendations for front tire size? which vendor? if theres a deal, i may get the rear. so which size rear also? should i change the front bearing with it? not sure if its ever been changed. 32k
  13. thats right! it was gary who showed me a pic of his setup....duh. thanks gary. progressives will probably be real soon. havnt had a chance to ride since my repair, but maybe tomorrow. its still holding air though, and ive sat on it a few times.
  14. i think that would betoo much. i will keep it simply as accents.
  15. according to manual it says 7-21 in front, and 7-85 rear for manual adjustments.
  16. if i send you mine and 4 cans of beer?????????? looks great!
  17. http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Glossy-Black-Carbon-Fiber-Sheets-Vinyl-Decal-p/ac-carbon-sheet-black.htm link to carbon fiber. its not real easy to work with, but it can be heated and stretched.
  18. here some pics after some of my latest nightmares (taillight issues, class). i used white gauge overlays and sheets of carbon fiber for a cool custom look!
  19. i had enough. decided to remove class. controller kept showing e4, no matter how many time i checked and resolder joints. no matter how many times i cleaned connections and checked wiring. no matter how many times i yelled at it. it just is junk. so off to the hardware stores i went! first, removed class compressor at 2 air line bolts. unhooked wiring, and junked it. then cut off old fittings. tapered air hose about 1/2 inch to get compression fittings on easier. cut off taper for clean look. used locktite 545 (hydraulic) to assemble fittings. did for both sides. i wasnt sure which was for which, so i put air in sloooowly. front of bike jumped into air and nearly scared me to death! set at 15psi. next rear( i only know its rear because of previous near-death experience). set at 52psi. im 220lbs. price of parts: $17.00 time took: 2 hrs(newbie, take it easy people) being able to cancel fitting for straight-jacket: priceless.
  20. i decided in the best interest of society, and my personal sanity, to take a 27oz california framing hammer to my class controller. didnt help! i remeber someone had a thread about removing the class and hooking up air valves under the passengers butt. any help???
  21. hot and sticky here in florida, but this morning, rain and a cool breeze. nice! well, except for riding...
  22. what are "rk" mufflers? i dont care for the look of macs, so i was thinking of universal jardine rt-1, in black.

  25. i custom built my specialized hardtail.
