    Same bearings and rad clearance should not be an issue. The forks are pretty short but you'll have room, especially if you tweak the mount brackets. I have a couple front fenders for those forks if you need one.

    That is $5 well spent. North of $10 though, and I would have saved up for the OEM service manual. They are worth the extra dough.

    When I say "I made myself..." I mean, I made the parts myself. I started with a rod of delrin, a drop of aluminum, and a piece of threaded rod.

    You've got yourself a nice mod there. A testament to good taste and resourcefulness! I made myself a 3pc unit that plugs the wheel and also protects the hub side with a delrin slider.

    I can grab it off the shelf and measure it anytime.

    I have a spare 5th gen axle if you'd like to compare dimensions.

    Ring doesn't need to be painted. Fasteners should be tightened snug + 1/4 turn in a criss-cross pattern until all are firmly seated.

    Anyone else interested in a cover?

    When you reassembled, you'll need to use red Loctite to make up for the missing peened end.

    That little bit will come off with a file and a touch of emery paper. Plenty of thread left, as Yoshi said. No need for new parts.

    One of the best motorcycle trip planning tips I ever read, is to send yourself a care package ahead of time to your destination. Why lug all the stuff with you, when you only need half of it before you get there?

    Although I am confident you can find a match, another (more expensive) option you might consider, is picking up spare plastics and painting the entire bike worth of plastic the same color. Then an exact match won't matter and you'll have enough left over for touch-ups. Sell your good stock panels to someone who crashed their bike.

    Or if a PPG shop is closer, their version is called the Prophet.

    I once brought a fender from a Pearl Sunbeam Yellow F4i to a local shop, and watched the guy mix a perfect match by hand. I was amazed. All depends on where you go. Plus, since you're not mating the parts panel to panel, you can be off a tad and never notice. I'll stop badgering you now, I just like the yellow look vs a black tail, so I was urging you to branch out.

    The yellow is not impossible to match. Stop listening to the internet, and find a good autobody shop.

    Axle sliders won't protect the bodywork at all. They will protect the fork bottoms, calipers, front wheel edges, and the big nut on the rear cush drive. Maybe the front fender a bit. IMO the solid mount frame sliders are ok for a driveway tip over, but not much else. They certainly didn't help my CBR in a lowside, just made the repairs more difficult as I had to fight a bent mounting bolt to get it off. They style you mounted won't fare any better, and may cause extra damage when pushed into the bike (rad), or when pulled sideways in a crash.
  18. SEBSPEED
    Sorry, never been a fan of frame sliders. Especially not the kind that will do extra damage.
  19. SEBSPEED
    Nice radiator stabbers you got there
  20. SEBSPEED
    I think you'll have to bite the bullet on the axle. We should have someone here that would be willing to pull their wheel and measure the offset...
  21. SEBSPEED
    Did you even get the bike yet?? Without pics, we don't believe any of this ever happened!

    Depends on your state's laws. If open carry is legal, then he could very well be within the bounds of the law.
  24. SEBSPEED
    Traction control pump is my guess

    I've had a couple scary moments. I'm licensed to carry in my state, and working on expanding that to many more. To get back on topic, I'm not sure I'd get use out of one of those shirts. Seems I would want the firearm more readily accessible.
