    'Tis a b!*ch, ain't it!?
  3. Ha! Thats Larry's bike! (Note the mirror extenders, that he makes).
  4. Your o2 sensors, is my guess. If I recall white goes to the higher, black to the lower. They either need to be plugged in or by-passed, properly, or you get an FI light.
  5. Not to speak for him, but pop a message to member, "Lobster". He was there tester.
  6. Good deal. How'd that valve check go? Ride on sir! Kind of surprised you didn't re-paint, for the heck of it.
  7. LOL. "Up Over". Up over, here, I'm freez'n my buns off. LOL. Seb., and the East coasters have it worse than here. On topic. I ordered from them. big bucks, but good folk, who realize the customer is first. They hooked me up with a couple yards of material, so I could make my tank bra, with the exact material. 100_3558.JPG

    Color-wrong, is correct. Heck, take the formula here, http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/29748-public-service-announcement/page__p__355983__fromsearch__1entry355983 , to your ppg dealer, and they will hook you up.
  9. Shameless, bastage, that I am,.... You do get what you pay for. LOL. The 6th Gen.'s, "Long run", has been good to me. LOL.
  10. Mine sat on the shelf for months and months after I first bought it and did a test fit (then got on the Interdweeb and found all the negative comments about it). I did look at the idea of adding something underneath it to stiffen it (like aluminum plate or bars, or fiberglass, or whatever). However, at each step, I said to myself, "Keep it simple, Stupid! I think despite that it's a little more complex than I would've liked, especially with respect to the number of fasteners. But it works, I think. As for the "half chain guard cover", I may yet cut that back. Ideas are either minimal cutting (just follow the line of the OEM guard) or radical (cut off the rear part as far forward as possible, and trim the bottom towards the front). Dunno yet. If I was a manufacturer, I would either go the Harris way, or make a minimal one from the same material as the chainguard (polypropylene?) similar to the ones fitted to the more recent models of CBR1000RR. They may not look as swish as CF, but they're rugged and sufficiently flexible that anything that the tire picks up and tries to wedge in between itself and the guard shouldn't damage anything. Oh - and if anyone wants details of the el cheapo but very effective rubber flap that preceded this fitting, let me know. Ar you kidding? Post it up. All mods are welcome LOL. Did the same to my front, after cutting it down, on the sides.
  11. So are you saying all of these codes are the same color or does it take 7 numbers to constitute a PPG code? Stupid minds want to know. :goofy: The quote, you have, is the total break-down, of R-157,.....yes. they all contribute.
  12. Glad to contribute to the team! Happy to help develop the pic, in Poncho's head. When Poncho called, my response was, "My help?" LOL. Seb is on the road to being legendary in paint and fab. Elated to see the culmination, of the vision.
  13. Sweet fab work. "If it can be made, it can be un-made, or fabbed".-me
  14. "Instead, I trusted the "structural engineer" from the insurance company who never said that the frame was bent". Stevie Wonder??????? Can't wait for paint!! Look'n pretty slick.
  15. LOL. I was gonna say interesting, as well. LOL. Yet haunting. Can't take my eyes off it. Very nice. New desktop. Earmark for '11 calendar.
  16. ...Just be sure to grind from the finished edge, down. If you go the opposite way, you'll lift the gel coat and surface finish. (Causing cracks and chips).
  17. HA! SWEET!!!!!
  18. Gotcha. This is a quickie of what popped in my head,..... (W/white rims of course.) pnt.jpg

  20. When you say, "Red and white bike with a white racing stripe down the middle.", I assume you are talking upper fairing, tank, and tale?
  21. Sandblast and ceramic. (Just my .02). Did it on my tail. Headders are gonna get hotter,...but as of yet, all is well.
  22. Zing. Check out some of my topics.
  23. It's ok for 2 stage touch-ups. For what you have, I would say run with a H.F. gravity fed, and a small compressor. (By the time you buy all the cans, and the PITA, of the small volume jar, mixing and re-mixing,....) Waste of time........... The $50 gun, and $100 compressor,.....It's worth it.
  24. Not sure if you have a gen in mind, or just culminating ideas,.... Mine is not so much different paint, as it is more or less in areas.
