    And here comes the posse,

    No arguement he will be faster, for someone with as much track time as him, he should be faster than a first timer.

    Hey, there is nothing wrong with being in the behind position, I play that nightly. Beta knows what I'm talking bout'

    Oh, make sure you bring a banana hammock and some baby oil. We'll bring the gladiator movies...cuz we work hard and we play hard!

    its a good one, go for the mid priced option (around 90) the $199 version is way overkill unless you are installing it into an 80s ducati or 90s cbr (sh1t trannies)

    Took the bike out for about 50-75 miles, big improvement on the shifter. Much easier to get into gear with less force. A lot smoother transition into one gear from another.

    Overall it is worth the 100 bucks you'll pay for the upgrade.



    On a side note, bike might be getting another paint job. This time with clear coat. Road debris is taking the paint off on the front of the bike. Chips from rocks, sand, ect.

    thats without it, Lizzy is fixing the zipper for me. Same price as shipping to A-stars. But it fits with the back protector just fine, its the gut and thigh area thats really flabby.



    Bahahahaha, cow and a half to be precise.

    They came pre-ground, so it looks like I know what I am doing. Need to order a fresh set, these have about had it. But thanks for the laugh!

    when you order pucks, some come as male (hook) and some as female (loop) fasteners... make sure you get the right ones. That way we will all know you didnt drag your knee at VIR.

    Well I got the dunlops installed today. Took it for test ride to see how it rode.

    Not so good....... After going about 10 miles from the house, I noticed a burning rubber smell. So I pulled into a parking lot, exited the the gear and found this.

    The fucking culprit :mad: :mad:
    [​IMG]

    so I just ordered one more of these.

    Dunlop Q2 Q 2 Motorcycle Rear Tire 180 55 180/55 17 : eBay Motors (item 370365005208 end time Jun-12-10 21:16:00 PDT)


    Going to relocate Ohlins reservoir to somewhere other than tire chewing zone.

    This really bothers me, not taking into consideration of how much wider the 180 is compared to the 170 that was on there. The 170 never came near touching it. The 180 lost 3/4" on one side . Bah.....................................
