Lurked along just now. I also have a 98 & a y2K. I was gonna swap the Staintune form the 98 for the 2 Brothers Racing on the y2K. Wanted to hear the Staintune through the Cat. it's a little harsh for me on the 98. You opted for a different Can. Howcum? Nice report / thread BTW. cheers!

Thanks for the write up. Well Done. not ready to move on from my Gen5 yet. I just came across [ahem] a very very lightly rashed front fairing. i'm thinking of sending it to the body & paint fixit guy i am all too familiar with to de-dumbo. The 4th Gen & 6th gen on....I'm envious. I can't help but wonder WHEN in the design process someone said...:oh Sh!t. Turn Signals! we forgot Turn Signals!"

Ha HA! nice Goin'! very well thought out presentation & attractive layout. a year ago i'd have bought the first one! isn't this economy great. How many miles on your bike? if i score a 99 w/ 30k miles & a staintune, think that this would work out ok? maybe I'll forward this to Edwards @ cycle world...i called him way back when........he seemed interested.

familiar with the area some.....lived in Bridgeport for 3 summers long ago. the sights are indeed captivating - very nice fotos. I intend to get to that area again .......on 2 wheels this time. thanx 4 the sho........

1310 miles Kirkland WA to Nipomo CA....incl MotoGP 209,525 + 1310 = 210,835

Good one. I'm curious about chaffing as dirt builds up on the cords......but other than that, good idea!

Looks like a great trip! If it were me, I'd include the Coast 1 highway in CA from (at least) Cambria to Monterey; and would choose US 2 or HWY 20 going east from Seattle. Also I'd stick to the coast through Oregon as you have shown - many photo ops along this route. These are more scenic but slower routes. Time of year would also be a consideration. When would you intend to travel? Oh, and of course pashnit :thumbsup:

I would have needed a backhoe to remove the guardrail..... BK: Nice ride Nice pix & Nice Bus! perfect............. VFR & a Westy....... :thumbsup:

Nice report! Glad to see you didn't get stranded by an incoming storm. BTW. What kind of bags are on the back? Like 'em? Easy on / off? Still looking for that perfect (haha) setup..... TIA bob

I can relate .....w/ the Valkyrie, you are pulling the strings on 6 carbs, and even with the oversize throttle grip, a little help from time to time would be welcome.

Nice Trip! thanks for sharing..........
