wow thast huge! wish a place out here was like that it would be cool!

 

RMC was the best. Great place for meetups too

 

I figured you or anyone else up here would know/remember the place.

 

early on I went down once when I turned onto a gravel road and the front end washed out on me. tore my jeans and hurt my ego but otherwise I was fine. had to replace a turn signal, shift lever and clutch lever on my fz6r.

it was a humbling experience but I think overall taught me a lot from a relatively minor mishap.

 

Went to the HF sidewalk sale. 40% off Icon wrenches. I basically got the ratcheting ones free after buying the flex heads. 10mm-19mm

 

Jumping in..

FXR has some on sale. Hell I'm thinking at $8. I might order one.

Try checking out a sporting goods store/fishing place. they may very well have some thin type neck gaiters too.

 

Just get one of these and a 3/4 helmet. What could go wrong?

sent my ecu of to get tuned, stock intake and exhaust. Really liking stock power but just want a bit more top end power

 

Received my Healtech speedohealer install plug today. Installed it, programmed it and it’s dialed. Now that I can see correct speed and RPMs I see that 60 mph with the DS set up was 6200rpm and now with the SM set up it’s 5800rpm. I can feel that it has slightly less pull so I am going to install the 13t front sprocket and see where that puts me. I will do that tomorrow because it’s freaking cold outside. Says it’s 62 but feels like 50 to me.

 

Definitely less pull, I often have to drop out of 6th and into 5th on highway stretches to keep speed. When this chain / sprocket set drops out I'll change to the 39T rear and hope that's enough to help. Only a 5% difference though.

 

I will let you know what a 13t does.

 

A cold 62 vs. a warm 62, I get it! Used to tease my ex about how she had shoes for sunny, mid-60's days vs. shoes for cloudy mid-60's days. She only found it slightly amusing...

What tires are you running? I have to say I've been SUPER impressed with my Shinko's, especially after getting the rear on the right direction! I run some very twisty back roads and they have shown zero signs of breaking loose at my fastest pace, plus they don't squirm over a few pieces of gravel like sport tires are inclined to do...

 

It'd filter the allergens, though!

 

Which Shinko's? Need to start looking at a rear replacement here, likely by end of season. Not a ton of options though in 130/70/17.

 

I have crocs now for everything above freezing






Different note i cut the razor back apart to redo again. Didnt get the fork rake correct after test fitting. But it did come out better this time

 

Right, we need something or anything lol

 

I feel most are that way, just about everything is an improvement over stock lol. We need pics
