mello dude

The more info I get, the more confused I get... bleah... 😛

While in the Cycle Gear store, I tried on several of the major brands and then when I tried on the AGV, I was blown away at its obvious lightness campared to the others and wide field of view on it. That was the push for me to say, yeah, that's the one I gotta get.

Helmet questions.... I had been hot on the new AGV K6 S, because it is very light at 2.8 pounds and has a very wide vison envelop to see anywhere I want. Also, the material are on the premium side as a plus. I only get a helmet every 6 years or so, so I didnt mind the price tag roughly at $550..... I had tryed an XL in the store, liked it, but found it almost snug but not a solid fit. So I normally wear a large and looked and looked and looked to find one to try on before putting $ down on one. That ended up to be a no go, and the only possible way to get one was online through Dianese (how do you say that?) out in California. Bit the bullet, when against my better judgement and ordered. Got thing today...... The pads are definately on the tight side, I wondering if this is gonna work? My questions is..... When you get a new helmet, do you expect it to be a bit tight and will get better with a break in? And mbe in time... expected hours to a good break-in period? -- I dont want to return the thing, but I will if needed..... --- I do like it... Thank all

Very cool!

Saw Danno posted today on the ST-owners forum.... looks like he is busy working on getting a pilots license...

Kinda cool thread... never have been in that spot, I have seen some gunky fluid but never crystalied... --- Echo-ing everbody on here... @n3n3... it would be wise to teardown your entire brake system for a cleanout/rebuild.... Cheerz and beerz all

When was the last time the brake fluid was changed?

Whoa... double ouch! 😪

Definately a cool site... Values are kinda overkill though..

Hi Kinda of an idea.... Break the budget into quarters... say this 1st quarter is $500..that would seen to be a more attainable number over the annual number. Then once a quarter.. .send out a call out thread to fill up the budget for the quarter. I would be happy to kick in quarterly to get to fill out the budget for that quarter. Another idea, youll probably barf on this one, knowing your history, but add a sponsor tab, where you sell squares to paid sponsors. We would access only by clicking the tab. Its definately more work, but you could get some bucks out of it, and we would get discounts from the sponsors. Of course there is always the possiblity of a legal entanglement, with a sponsor not delivering as they should...... just brainstorming... Lastly if you decide to chuck it, as with last time, a group of us are fine to take it on if want to pass the torch. Very best wishes

Miguel... I will do whatever I can to help keep this place going.... Please ask away for ANY help! I am sure others feel the same way.

Hi mello dude, Thank you for your donation of --. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion

Hi...try ProCaliber, they show them for sale.

Hey looking great! Dude, those K&N filters with the welded nut on the end have a history of metal fatigue at the spot weld and cracking, then leaking. There's plenty of info on the net about it, and I am sure some members here have experienced it first hand. Plz consider an alternate.

Cogs -- Would love to see a build it thread of your 5/6th conversion..

Beautiful bike.

Great list Cogs!

Aside the obvoius engine differences, the 6th frame has thicker sections and therefore stiffer and also the front forks are 43mm and stiffer as well. That is why some guys have installed a 5th engine in a 6th gen.

Cool stuff! - Pro Bolt probably has simular fasteners too...

Hey Cogs - How's going? Thanks for the heads up on Custom Rewind. Great news! I did a 5th gen a couple years back with extended leads and its working great. I am running the Furukawa connnectors direct on the extended leads so there is no intermediate connection..... Also I have another on the bench to do. Gonna get that one done too to have on hand.

Comparing how the bikes run and ride, what do you think between the two?

I really enjoy build threads... looking good, keep the photos coming.
