I'd ride it.

After my prang on the Nurburgring, my thoughts at max lean are still about crashing. Gotta stop that

each and every question relating to air pressure is answered in the informative video below.

I did the entire Catskills ride with 12/19. But then, I am a bit of a donkey.

I really wouldnt worry about rolling off the rear tyre. Heres a guy giving it the ol college try on a 6th gen (and this isnt a crash photo)

That is all I'm worth? One decade-old motorbike engine?

I had a set of Renthals like this for a while and loved the texture but they were hard as a rock. Went back to the stock grips.

I put same grips on my RC51. I like them, but they are hard. They are also very small diameter, but I like the feel.

That cover travels more than I do.

I too, live in the "not too worried about grips" camp. I actually put these on a while back because they were the closest set too me at the time.

Beer in hand and watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

did you ever realize that the toymaker is Benny Hill?

when Seb and Keith saved me with parts for my Tmac parking lot chain and sprockets fix, I definitely wasn't asking any questions. Turns out the front sprocket was a 15!!!!. I never counted the teeth on the back, but it is now geared very low. (Like 7000 rpm cruising on the highway low) I even did an inadvertent wheelie exiting a corner at Deals Gap.

I loved it on the twisties down there, but work is 30 miles each way on the interstate, so I gotta go back to stock.

Keith, when you are here at my junkyard, I have a wide selection of mid pipes.

I dredged these up - limited help . . . the first - attempt to fit a 6th gen swingarm to a 5th gen engine

Since MiniCrasher has the entire 5th gen bike, he could just re-use the swingarm, no? Unless the 6th gen frame relocates the engine to a weird place.

even looks good dirty

with the cloths off

Hey Seb,

What needs to be done, to send one to Holland?

I researched that for ya..... (am on the fence still...)

1 put your name on the list

2 get a side cover to Seb

3 pay the fee for work and shipping back

4 dutch customs will send you a bill

Key question for me is how quickly this can be turned around......

I've posted a wtb add to see if one can be sourced stateside. check your sheds folks!

I may be able to help. I have booked my flight from Dulles to Schiphol on July 16. I mule for beer and Saucijzenbroodjes.

got one. it is groovy

the brake line elbows are stopped by the forks. I think each and every fifth gen guy wants to rotate the levers a few degrees down to make them better fitting. My Pazzo shortie sorta fixes this problem.

you didn't know Knox made saddle shoes? I have come to the conclusion that the only 2 males in the USA who wear saddle shoes are me and Buster from Arrested Development.

it is the top of a tripod, flattened, with a hole drilled in it, mounted upside down. I forgot it was there when I took the photograph. (was attempting to capture the clean/new chain)

I though that these bearing were made and used to reduce weight.

what a big job. I salute your efforts. Looks great!
