Hmmm. Almost needs black rims..............................

Just sent JoeW a message (now that he's back in business!) :thumbsup:

Thanks for the offer! I have a spare black front wheel that I am going to put up for sale very soon...

"don't you have anything better to do?" - now that kwr8728 is at school, nobody else will trash their bike so I can work on it... so this will have to do

Hey Will, not for nothing, but I could keep you busy for a least a month... ever been to NY?? :goofy:

Bike looks good, but you should go full Monty and do the frame, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Now about that 6th gen belt drive conversion... :rolleyes:

The belt drive conversion status is AWP... (A Waiting Part)... BMW needs to ante up the belt I ordered... I

may bring the whole mess down to Bubbas Laguna Seca so everyone can get a feel for the parts...

Nice! I hate chain lube!! :pissed:

You know Larry, they make Dykem layout fluid in a spray too... would've saved you a day of brushing right there! :P

Just kidding, they look great! :thumbsup:

Now about that 6th gen belt drive conversion... :pissed:

this is definitely the way to go, everything fits together just right but only if you leave all the fasteners loose until the very end. i made the mistake of tightening as a i went, doesn't work. you'll have to adjust things at the end before everything is in its place.

The key is to leave everything LOOSE until you have all the bolts started, then start tightening things down.

And not just the new parts, loosen the passenger peg mounting bolts too, you won't believe how much easier it gets!

I just installed new bag racks last night, took me about an hour taking my time. The key is to leave everything LOOSE until you have all the bolts started, then start tightening things down. Start in the back(4 small), then the pass. peg mount bolts, then the bag rack bolts on the ends of the peg mounts, then the top 4 bolts.

Good job! :thumbsup:

Do you need some mirror block plates? I can hook you up! :thumbsup:

Better take that centerstand off next, or you're going to end up on your ass. :beer:

They look great! :thumbsup:

Where did you source them and what kind of coil did you have to shell out??

I guess I should have mentioned that, $360 US plus shipping and handleing, from one of our best parts suppliers, who just lost his job, JoeW. Boy did his boss ever F-up!

Wow, for pads and rotors? Not bad at all!! :thumbsup:

I think the additional cost is brought about by the fact the rear hub has an adapter to fit a Duc wheel with a single nut eliminating the four nuts of the VFR. I will post up a picture after I get back from Spring Mtn. race tract this weekend. I have run out of time and will miss out on using them at the track..

I have been working with Mr. Wakamatsu for about a year now trying to get this off the grount.

He first made a die for the Duck, and rather than go to that expense again he decided on the wheel adapter out of chrome molly.

This is an amazingly good piece of news!! :thumbsup:

Oh mama, now that's tasty!! :thumbsup:

Those wheels are amazing. Did you get that from the Kawi site? I have a similar picture stored on my computer.

Nope, I snatched that pic right from the source, www.borderlinecustomcycle.com. look under the "projects" link. It's a 1992 ZX7 with MV Agusta body, R1 tail, Duc swingarm, ohlins, aluminum tank, and nitrous... :joystick: :thumbsup:

Ahh, nice!!

The site says for double side s/a though? :wub:

I :goofy: the PVM "10Y" wheels... would have to convert to single nut though...

Uh, looks like FotoMoto's bike to me...

Congrats, you're offically someone's hero now. :goofy:

Find someone with a bandsaw, that'll work best. Then use a file or an angle grinder with a sanding disc to clean them up. Satin black Rustoleum blends perfectly with the subframe.

Beauty shot Gone is the sail... titanium fender eliminator is done!

:thumbsup:

I've seen the zip-tie fix used quite a lot on dirt bikes and snowmobiles in the past, another key step is to drill a hole at the end of each crack, to keep it from spreading!

Get well soon, and go for a ride. :thumbsup:

And after watching it, I'd say your buddy needs to work on his body positioning a little.

Looks good though! I really miss those decreasing radius turns, I don't have any in my area, and I love a challenge! :thumbsup:

If you can't duct it, f--- it! :unsure:

I'd be careful on a hot day... that tape's gonna give out at the worst possible moment... :rolleyes:

Please DON'T ride it like that, too damn loud ! :blink:

Not to mention the power loss... :unsure:

I don't recall Hot Tip (could have been after I got axed), but they did make systems that were called "White Tip" (cool shark logo). These were systems that had the header Jet Hot silver ceramic coated.

Rex,

My memory is often quite bad so I may just be remembering this wrong but I believe they were made by Kerker/supertrap and sold under the targa brand:

I had the white one on my, then new, white 87 Honda Hurricane CBR600F.

If someone put all three of those on an '07 RWB(a la CBX), they'd be my hero... :unsure:

I guess you remember the old Kerker Hot Tips series. Man I loved my white edition. I wanted to try a set on my vtec (targa still carries the red) but thought two would leave too much gap while four (ala' mv agusta/lasers) wouldn't fit and moved on to other ideas.

Do you have any pics of those?

I would think that the wool would break down quickly, from vibrations and temp changes, being so thin.

BLA did a Belt O Ceptor to keep from spraying Chain Wax, is that close enough? :goofy:

Yup! And I can't wait for him to come out with one that'll work on my VTEC... I hate lubing chains... <_<

Well, I read the whole post, and I think he's out loving life with his new shock right now!! :thumbsup:

I just hope he doesn't get too happy and bottom that resevoir out on his chainguard... that could be bad... or just a bad angle on the camera? :goofy:
