Nothing to add to the post just thanks for letting me hear the engine. I am having withdrawals. I must fire my motorcycle up tomorrow, tooooooooo loooooooong!!!!!!!!!!

Me likey Keep it comin

Do you have install pics? Just ordered lines and fittings for this myself.Pm them to you Sat. Morning. Surprisingly simple and did not take long. Thanks, just curious about the front entry point. Use the small square that is already there on the inside edge of the swingarm, toward the front. I used a pre-made line so I had to open up the hole a little that was already their at the rear, below. Thread it from the back to the front. You will see the line when you look in the small square opening, then just grab it with some safety wire, arch it over and connect it to the master at the pedal. Mohawk helped me out too.Interested to see pics of the routing from there. I can't see a clean way to put the line from the master without going around the heat shield and resting on the header?

Personally, I had no issues at all with the linked system. I am a minimalist, and to properly maintain and troubleshoot a system the KISS approach is best for me. That is why I have done some of the standard issue VFRD mods. Pair, COP and delink.

Having just pulled off all the linked system and re-installing a total of three SS braided lines (VTR swap). I am very happy I did it. One thing that I would comment on is if you swap out to SS, ANY rubber lines left are still a weak link in the linked system. I now also have one rear line through the swingarm, sooo nice!

Holy !!!Floored. Just found this one...

Ok, now to take things to another extreme. Just put a VTR front end on, triples and all, with the below method of support. Not advised, see the 5/8ths dowel in the picture?

Just did my CBR1000RR COP swap to my 99 5th Gen. Soooo easy and sooooo satisfying to get rid of the mess. All wire colors even match up, not important, but nice. Just need 4 appropriate o rings to make up for a little room at the coils. Excellent way to spend a couple hours with nice results. I won't be running it till other work is sorted.

3D printing is the act of adding a material digitally as opposed to removing material in the case of a CNC machine. The object is not milled it is actually built. To print is to leave something on a surface, loosely put.

Very well done! and yes, the journey can be just as much fun as the destination. Keep it going

Doing mine over the winter. Good to see it's well worth it. How long did it take you?

Agreed on the tire pressures, too soft and you're deforming the tire. I would like to add that riding technique is also a factor when reading tires. Two riders could ride the same speeds in the corners and obviously have very different wear patterns. I tend to be a little more off the bike in corner, therefore the bike is a bit more upright, holding the bike away a bit with elbows out to make adjustments. This gives me, in my opinion, more of an option to bring the bike down more if the corner tightens or I need to adjust my line. If you tend to drop the bike as far as you can and keep your body over the bike, or in some cases upright, you are using up all your tire edge and will run out of grip. I prefer to be a bit more animated on the bike then I always have the option of using tire edge I have in reserve. Chopping at a corner can also get wear to the edge of the tire but that is a bad way to get the job done. Also...go to the track if you are riding that close to the edge so often.
