Ladies and Gentlemen

If your wanting to install sliders like radar/ken but are afraid to cut fairings ( like me) trust me when i say if Ken can do it anyone can :thumbsup: :beer:

Once again nice work on the install, looks like a quality product :thumbsup:

THanks Dude - with friends like you, who needs enemies? And for the record I'm not as big of an asshat mechanic as my good friends would have you believe, however I do still need a lot of help figuring out all this two wheel mecanix stuff....

For my next trick, I will coerce Dude and MCrew to "Assist" me in changing my sprockets and chain!!! :thumbsup:

Agreeed you are not the asshat mechanic you lead us all to believe you are. I see your theory , tell us you suck at mechanics, sit on a chair with a beer and a flashlight while we do the work!!!!! Brilliant!!!!! We are on to you now Ken :goofy:

Crew get's the flashlight and the chair, I get the beer (sleemans plz )

Let us know when your doing the chain and sprockets cuz ahem we will be there to help anyway we can :thumbsup:

Rob you did a fantastic Job on the mod A-1 stuff brother :thumbsup:

Yet another awesome project by the riv :thumbsup: Now would they work well enough as signals to replace the dumbo ears on the 5th gen? :wheel: Or am I 3 steps behind as usual

Ya where is Joe? :huh:

Oh that is not what we all wanted to hear The main thing is your ok , but damn that really sucks. I've really enjoyed watching the mods you did to your bike, now go get that dakar and mod the shit out of it.

Great easy mod that ive been wanting to do for awhile. Where did you get the screening? I've looked and cant find anything suitable. You doing the grill work in the side fairings too?

You did a great job. Look sfantastic!!!!! :thumbsup:

Mike

Great job on the tray. Well done :biggrin:

Damn i should have grabbed the wolfs from joe

Vince I have always thought your bike was the sweetest blue viifer i ever saw but man that sargent seat with the blue piping has got to go man. Send it to me , i will take good care of it for you . :idea3:

Now wouldnt that look sweet on my blue baby :pissed:

Hey I'm going to pick up a copy just so i can say.... " hey thats the guy that sent me the wrong chainguard" :goofy: Congrats Rick

Good luck with that Ken. You will be able to fill that sucker up with beer without affecting the handling of your bike. :rolleyes:

You obviously havent been paying attention. Have you not seen Ken's fabrication abilities? Oh plus fixxer says Ken is very flexable. I dont want to know :lurk:

How would he put the small ladder in or out  from the top box when he is already on the bike?  :blink:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Comical is how I mught describe it...... :blink:  I haven't figured out a graceful way to do it yet - but it is tricky to not bang the top box with the foot thats swinging over.  I think the centre stand needs to be used, put the left foot on the peg - climb up and over.  I'll see how that goe s- hopefully get out this weekend,

:lol:

KKKen you could carry a small ladder in the top box so when getting on and off (the bike) you would have no problems. :lurk:

Ken,

Looks good.  Better be filling that top case with lots of free goodies to Pgreen's ride this year!

:thumbsup: :goofy:

KKKKen that's going to work excellent. Nice job bro :goofy: Can you access your toolkit without removing the seat? If not just throw your EXTRA toolkit in the top box when travelling. Oh BTW looks to me like your left front pad isn't in place. Want me to drop by and fix it :beer:

Oh not bad for a salesmen either :P

Hey Doc

Heres a side by side comparison. The springs are the same diameter.

I don't see how this could've had such an effect.  If your oil level is now much higher than before it would tend to make your spring rate more progressive since the air volume is less.  However, the air volume (unless very small) should have a near-negligeable effect on your sag.

I'm ordering some 0.95 or 1.0 kg/mm Race Tech springs tomorrow.  No matter how far off my oil level may (or may not) be, it can't bring me from 50+ mm of sag with full preload, to 35 mm of sag with very little preload (preferable).

Just reporting what it did for me fallzboater.

Fallzboater

I had the same condition, preload cranked all the way to get desired sag setting. Disassembled forks, check spring free length (within spec) reassembled with 10 wt synthetic amsoil now have 3 lines showing with 35mm sag :goofy:

I would suggest doing the measurement from top of cap to oil level rather than the oil measurement method as some oil will remain in cartridge unless you do a total disassemble which i didnt.
