  1. So in using the GXSR grommets on the VTEC coil packs, how did you secure them to the 5th gen valve covers? Which GXSR coils did you get? The coils were from an 04 GSXR600 that I paid about $12 for on Ebay. I just pulled the grommets off them, stuck them into the holes in the head then carefully wiggled the vtech coils into the grommet that was already in the head. They hold really tight, they are not bolted down. Had to cut the mounting part off one of the coils for clearance. I check them once in a while, heaven't had a problem with them coming loose in 10k miles.
  2. Yep, I did the 5th gen engine swap in my 07 RWB last winter. I was bored! lol! It was a straight forward eng swap, all bolt-in. Pretty much the same as if just replacing the vtech engine. Used a 98 engine i found on ebay, which turned out to be about 30 miles away. So i went there and made a cash deal at $250. Swapped over all the vtech throttle bodies, sensors, coils, clutch slave, ect. Found older GSXR coils on ebay just to use the grommets from them, vtech coils stick out above the head about an inch. Had to replace the plug on the end of stator wires to match the R/R. Installed a Vfrness while i was at it. I used a Rabid Bike Racing for tuning, just let it self tune itself. Wouldnt mind having it tuned on a dyno one of these days. Runs real good! I put about 10k trouble free miles on it so far, the bike currently has 61k mile. I'm very happy with the outcome and the whine!
  3. +1 on the Oxfords! Had them on my 5th gen, need to order a set for the 6 gen soon. Had the Bike Master heated grips on it but near as nice as Oxford.
  4. I have a Two Brothers system also, the left can is real but not hooked up. I'm assuming TBR has it figured that one can give the best performance?
  5. When I used just the front half of the seat only, I used 2 large wire ties wrapped around the 2 hooks under the seat that go over cross bar that the frankenbolts go in to. Worked very well, seat didnt moove. just keep wire cutters with you just in case you need to remove while out.

    Very nice bikes! I had a 700S in the early 90's and an 83 red and white vf750 as you can see in my profile pic. also had an 84 RWB vf700 a few years ago. Wish i still had them all!
  7. Over the winter: Replaced Corbin with a Sargent Heated grips Wingrack and givi bags Fork seals and tapered head bearings Front tire Soon to do: Axillary fuse panel and a charge port Rear tire
  8. I will def be ready for a frosty beverage after the long ride tomorrow!
  9. Excellent - we're talking slabin' it from here to there, then? It's about 4.5 hours from my AO to New Paltz going I83-I81-I78-I287-I87. If you roll in to the Ettoh around 0700 and with gas, smoke and food stops, that's just about a 1230 - 1300 ETA. You wanna see about meeting up with North Jersey contingency and backroad the last 1/3 of the ride? May have a couple guys riding with us, too - PainterBob and a buddy who live about 20 miles from here. Hey Jim, We have are reservations and will be ready for Friday morning. Let me know where you all want to meet up.
