As mentioned, the CCS on the 5 Gen is typically located on the mid-pipe. However, if the mid-pipe does not have the stop, then the Sebspeed alternative would be desired.

If it helps, put me down for one 5 Gen and one 6 Gen.

My Knox Zero3 have full leather on all fingers and the touch material over the top of the tips, probably for waterproof integrity. I wish my Nexos were made the same way. I like them but can't wear them with holes in the finger tips. I'm going to attempt to repair them, we'll see how that works out. The other aspects of these gloves have proven to be great. Palm sliders, Boa lacing system, knuckle and wrist protection, all worth the price of admission. Thanks for the reply.

I have these but the index finger tips wore out. Not sure if they changed the design but are yours full leather with a touch screen capable material on top or is it the thin touch screen material as the finger tip? I'm a Knox glove wearer and they have been my go to glove for some time now but my Nexos didn't hold up like my previous pair, Biomech. If I knew those would no longer be produced, I would have bought a dozen pairs! They were/are my favorite glove I've owned. I thought the Nexos would be a good replacement but alas I am a little disappointed in how they designed the index finger tip. 😞

So I spoke with SF today. He said if people want in for another batch, please feel free to PM the both of us and let us know, we’ll put you on the list...

Oh yeah, in regards to the K&N air filter recommendation, it was selected as the one used for the Dyno tuned bike, so we have a known working sample. No other airbox or intake mods were done on any of the bikes as far as I recall. Note however that K&N has two models of the air filter BUT both have the same part number (Go figure?!). One of them however has a much larger square inch coverage with the filter material. Not sure how to order and get the latter one other than possibly call K&N directly.

All 8 Gen headers have been sold and I believe all but maybe 1 of the 5/6 Gen headers. SF has more details on the 8 Gen fitment, as he was working with the builder and had use of fellow member samuel’s bike. That being said, most of the aftermarket cans link pipe may have to be expanded to a 51mm ID , depending on what bike you have I.e. 6/8 Gen vs. 5 Gen. There’s also some brake line routing and heat shield fussing you’ll have to deal with on the 8 Gen. I thought SF posted the little caveats and idiosyncrasies of the 8 Gen setup but he’ll have to answer that. Not sure how this pandemic will affect any immediate future builds but I can say the the builder was open to a smaller number in order to start the next batch. I haven’t spoken with SF in a while in regards to even entertaining another batch but at the time we did speak, we were both open to doing it again.

I found the pictures I took of my friends CCS on his 2001. He said he got this from the manufacturer of his exhaust. They supplied the mid-pipe, can and the CCS. It appears to use the CC mounting bolt, I hope these are useful...

Let me reach out to my friend Robert. He as a 5 Gen and his had that left side center stand stop. I thought I had taken pictures and posted them up in a different thread. If I can find the photos I'll post them here, if not I'll see if Robert can get new photos for me.

Bumping this thread...

My verdict is that it didn't seem to last any longer than the plastic ones. I already replaced mine, probably should have written down the mileage but alas I don't think I did, sorry. I did think that I could use a bolt the same size as the one that holds the sprocket, to act as a mould and use some JB weld to rebuild the inner part of it but kind of gave up on that idea. I also thought of doing the same thing with the plastic ones using some plastic epoxy but again, probably more work than it's worth. TLDR: Didn't last any longer than the plastic OEM one for me.

If it’ll help get these going put me on the list. I’m sure one day someone will be looking for one and viola, I may just have one I can offer up. D

Are you looking to part it out or part with it whole?

Did you do a rebuild kit on the SMC? When I worked on my friends bike, we did rebuild kits for all the master cylinders and all new piston seals as well. Looking at your SMC, it does appear to be in the "activated" mode, so perhaps it is stuck in that position and not allowing the fluid to return. Can you easily move the piston in and out or is it difficult? All I can tell you is that for my friends issue, it was definitely in the SMC. Hope you get it resolved.

Last one. I hope these help explain the system, whether they help with the actual resolution of the issue, let me know.

Video number 2, there are three in all

Here are the videos that I made when dealing with this issue. I thought I posted these when I posted on my brake thread discussing this issue. Since this one is fresh and showing up on the recent activity, I'll post them here.

Mohawk, I had originally that this too. However, on at least 3 different 5 Gens, the center piston does move with the rear pedal but not at the same pressure as when the SMC triggers it. I believe that the proportional valve allows it to be engaged but not fully until the SMC comes into play. I think I have video of it when I went through this with my friends 01. I'll see if I have it and post it if I do.

I went through this same drill last year with a friends 01. We ended up replacing the SMC (complete) and the issue went away. He had the exact same issue as you're experiencing, rear brake locking up. I completely tore apart the SMC and cleaned it up, down and sideways. When I opened the SMC there was a very fine pasty film on the inside of it, I believe that whatever this was must have contaminated the green item you picture above. Long story short, we found the issue to be somewhere in the SMC. Although I like your investigative approach, you'll probably end up with the same conclusion. The SMCs are still available BTW but your call as to whether you still want to do your forensics. Anyway you slice it,please update us as to your findings. Cheers

Welcome! You have a very nice collection of bikes there!

That was my fault, the FedEx web site auto-filled your address in and I thought I had double checked before clicking the "ship" button. Sorry guys, I'll try better next time!

Said the Bishop to the actress...

Wow! sounds like quite a few of you have received your goods already. Have to say I got scolded the other day on Facebook when I posted about these being done and that I was helping get them boxed up. I was accused of being HIGHLY irresponsible for even leaving the house, let alone meeting up with someone. Apparently me shipping out "crappy" headers (the term they used) was a higher priority to me than the safety and well being of others. I retorted in my usual sarcastic tone but had to put on a serious face and explain the entire situation. It probably didn't help that I had said I ignored the "stay at home order". Which at the time was, you can go outside and walk/walk your dog, visit public places but no gatherings of more than 10 or more, maintain good distance and cleanliness discipline. All of which were complied with. Heck, I even brought my own packing tools (tape gun, gloves, etc.) so that SFDownhill and I would not cross contaminate. This was in addition to keeping 6 feet or more away from each other as well as being outdoors! Anyway, not a big deal, no one was harmed in this venture, everyone is getting their stuff and best of all I can now relax and know that I made some VFR folks very happy! I will add I did have a similar post here to the one I had on FB but decided to delete it, I'd rather not make any "enemies" on a world class top notch forum! Cheers, D

Is this what you are looking for?

Well PMs with tracking numbers have been sent out to all those expecting a header or headers. Please PM me if you were expecting a PM with a tracking number but did not receive it. CHEERS!
