There are differences. Bore, stroke, type of lever. Can't really mix and match without knowing what you have, what you need and what you're trying...
Usually they will be set up so you can get a socket and extension on it, but then again who knows what the installer was thinking at the time?
There should be 2 clamps that hold the pipes onto the short header pipes (which stay in the heads). Then the pipes just slide down, may take some...
I test road one last year and it really felt great, good power and very nimble. Plus, at 6'3", I fit pretty good. I'm still torn between that or a...
Should be a standard Schrader valve core available at any auto parts store.
It's a girly 4.5". It will do fine for the street. If I was going to race again I'd probably go with a new swingarm and run a 6". I'd save for...
I've already got the CBR F3 wheel, a mill and lathe, I can make things work! Shouldn't be too hard. I've swapped wheels on most bikes I've owned,...
I know the 18" is probably the issue. The swingarm tapers more the farther forward the tire sits. Back when I installed the 18", that was the size...
I know my 170-60/18" required some grinding to just clear the swingarm. And the chain will rub unless you offset the sprockets a bit. The 17"...
Way back when, I had the chance to either get an F or an R. I went with the F because it weighs about 43lbs less, makes the same HP and is a bit...
120-70-17 works pretty good on my 1000.
If you ever do it again, I'll be sure to point and laugh. As long as this taught you something, then all is good. Just be glad it was a low speed...
Me and a buddy got caught on a "secondary" road out in the middle of NV, it went from paved to gravel, back to paved and ended up as a dirt road....
Gotcha. Of course, that's always the reason, isn't it! I might have to try it next winter (too many projects right now), do some horse trading for...
Any good reason to reuse the stock lowers? I want to lose the antidive mount and run some 4 piston calipers to get some real brakes on it. Would...
My 1st gen had 98k KM when I swapped front wheels and took off the speedo drive. Not sure what's on it now, figure an additional 3 years of...
1 is softest, 4 is hardest. Measure all the stock shock dimensions and find one that's closest and it should work ok. make sure it comes from a...
Quick way to see, grab a brake hose and squeeze the brake lever. When the hose moves or gets bigger you've just proved it. Pretty much a guarantee...
It may be the screens in the petcock, up inside the tank, that are clogged. Try taking the fuel line off the intake to the pump and see how much...
Good catch. I had thought Honda had gone to real brakes by '05. They're not the opposed-piston calipers I thought they were using.
