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?

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. -
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!

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.

the front end did lift up when i moved it around a bit. springs doing their job, i guess. have stock springs. should probably do the progressive springs. but after talking to skydoc, i want different forks to do the r1 brakes, and de link, and stainles, and, and, and ,and........ would be happy with just some air in the thing, so it doesnt bottom out. i looked at the frame closely last night. spent about an hour going over it and didnt see any cracks. southern bike, 32k. sat in a garage with 20 other bike projects for most of its life. the guy had this russian bike with sidecar. the sidecar had a drive axle. 2WD. pretty cool.
