    Gap photos

    Various pics from Gap photogs.
  3. Yeah guys, What Bailey said.. "This is not a Competition or Race and our Lead riders will lead for the entire group, not a "your on your own" attitude. Safety and fun will be the focus of all group rides, the idea is for everyone to make it home safely and share what a great time they had at the T-Mac. Not who's the fastest rider. Please keep the ego's at home." Take it easy if your not exremely familar with the roads..
  4. Here's some other usuals that are taking pictures at The Gap: http://www.moonshinephoto.com/ http://zeefoto.com/ -Chuck Correction... Zeefoto Nolonger shooots up there, Her Phootog employees are now 129slayer.com the other 2 photog companies are. Killboy.com (already posted) And Us129photos.com Al w/ Moonshinephotos does shoot up there but not daily so its good to check. P.S. Killboy and Us129photos list the VFR in the sportbike section. For some Odd reason 129slayer puts the VFR in Sport Touring...

  8. Might stop some from illegal passing but not many. Wouldnt bother me.. It would definately make those who cant navigate a curve within there own lane a bit more weary of doing so..
  9. Thanks guys, Hadnt logged on in awhile. Thanks HS, I assume you mean it got featured on the front page ? It was a Hot n Swealtering 40f degrees that day. Credit for the picture also goes to an up n coming photog who has been gettting coaching from the other photogs @ the gap.
  10. 1. not recommended 2. ?? 3. zip tie to subframe rail on left side away from exhaust. 4. depends on sag #'s .. Install, check, then change.
  11. I use standard springs that fit without adapters. For your weight (230lb) I'd suggest a 1200lb/in spring. Let me know if you need anything else! and that is ? converted to KG's
  12. To the OP. You can have a fairly compliant suspension front and rear for under $1000 easily. F4I rear shock, Can make adjustable ride height with a longer bolt and washers in top mount. Sonic springs in front forks. F4 rebound valve, fork cap, adj rod finishes out the front forks nicely.
  13. A tad! I'm running a 20kg at 190lbs! :biggrin: Its only noticable on Deep dips (bottoms out lightly) or 2up (the front pushes) w/ 1.0 front sonic springs. Not a Bad setup if your braking hard INTO the turn-in/corner. I have just been waiting to upgrade again when this one was about wore out. Depending on J.D. answer I may send the spare I got a few weeks ago to SHY Racing Susp in nashville again. The thought of using adapter pacers for the spring just doesnt thrill me. http://www.photoreflect.com/store/ViewAlbum.aspx?a=748019
  14. +1 on doing both ends.. I got a ? for jamieD. Are you using custom springs for these or off the shelf with adapters from lke racetech. Cant remember which but Either Eibach or Wilbur (Which ever is located in california) will make a custom spring to your desired spring weight and you wont need adapters. Im about to have another F4I shock made up for my 06 VFR and plan to go with a 21kg this time. The F4I shock I got in there now is a 18kg, No adapters, preload set on 3 but is just a tad weak for my 230 lbs.
  15. I cant remember which member here did them but he might have some left. Its Either "Radar" or "Lobster" .. They made some mounts to work with OEM gixxer or Emgo gixxer mirrors and work/look great.
