    A friend had a Hyosung gt650r donated to his non-profit organization and he was aking me about selling the bike. I had never heard of the Brand. I have been reading about them but wondering if anybody had any personal experience with this brand of bike including parts accessibility etc.

    :bowdown:My apologies o-mighty experienced one. I have a set of the 3 washers if you want them. I got some from Dingy and had only damaged one wavy washer so there are 5 good ones. If you want them I can "pay them forward" to you. I know our Stealership wanted almost $10.00 per washer for them. So.. my question still stands... the top of the progressives are sitting right at the bottom of the cap threads. the PVC spacer is 3/4-inch. The cup with o-ring is 3/4 inchish which brings it to a little over 1 1/2 inches with the washer thickness.. It just seems real difficult to push down and screw the cap in without stripping the theads. Let me know on the washers.. Bill

    That's what I am thinking, but the cup has the o-ring on it and I presume that is there for a reason. I can not find any pictures or info on exactly the line up of parts. So close and yet ( again) so far... Good luck on your rebuild. if it's your first time an you want to discuss it, call me...I can tell you all the things I did wrong so you can do them correctly

    Cool tool. My forks are on the bike so that wouldn't work for me now. I gotta figure out how to get it together while on the bike.

    Pejorative : Descriptive verb, or noun: Meaning the state of mind of a 2nd Generation owner dealing with the guilt of inferior ownership while in the shadow of 1st Generation owners. Used to describe the extreme jealousy developed in the subconscious cranium area that eventually works itself out and shows up in degenerative remarks and attitudes. Excerpt from 1st Generation Dictionary of Offensive Terms, 2/23/2012. You're welcome...

    Sooo... I got the fluid level matched,( no leaks yet ) put in the Progressives and wow.. are they high up in the tubes. They stop right at the lower cap threads. I have the PVC cut to 3/4's which i think is right for me. BUT..... there is always a BUT.... The next 3 pieces don't seem to want to fit in and be able to screw in the fork caps. I do not want to strip the cap threads so I am asking... Is this the right configuration that goes on top of the springs ? If so, any tips on how to compress and screw the tops on without stripping them ? The PVC isn't supposed to be inside the part with the seal that goes under the screw cap is it ? So close...and yet so far.....

    Is this when we get to talk politics and gun ownership ? I use Rotella 15 40 to oil my guns, rubbing them down with the rubber from a Metzeler rear tire that was riden with full sidewall air pressure. Now if a certain group of politicians didn't keep us from drilling for oil, I could afford to buy better tires ( which ones should I buy ?) and try all different oils ( which ones are better than the others ?) and shoot my gun all day long. Just trying to keep the entertainment flowing...

    Great link..thanks.. Learned more about oil in 30 minutes of reading than I knew after a zillion oil changes.. :happy65:

    So ..I'm guessing that without a lot of "customization" that stripping the tupperware off of a 1st Gen doesn't make for a good looking rider.
  16. KIC
    I heard there was a follow up study on how riding a 1st Gen made you much smarter than riding a 2nd Gen... Man...I'm sorry ..but I just couldn't resist..

    Thanks for the painful reminder....

    Can somebody tell me if it makes a difference whether these rubber cushions that go between the triple head and fork air "things" have to be installed one way or another ? With the flat side up or down ? Thanks

    I'm looking for any pictures of naked 1st Gens that are riders. Have a friend that has an 84 that the tupperware is pretty sun dried etc. Was thinking that instead of parting it out, maybe trying to strip it down and make a back up rider out of it. They look terrible plain naked, so I'm wondering how anybody dressed them up to make em look prettier than a 2nd Gen... dang...did I type that last part out loud ..?
  23. KIC
    Smaller in reality is still bigger than in fantasy.. Just a thought.... Kinda like a 2nd Gen thinking they are faster than a 1st Gen...

    Welcome Howard. I have an 89, and if i ever get it back together will enjoy it again one day... You will enjoy it here until you make a mistake and they pounce on you like rabbit in a snare. But they are mainly the slower 2nd Genners who do it out of jealousy, so we over look that, and give a lot of grace and forgiveness. So welcome !
