Hehe, cool. Battle of the Bay! I'll go ahead and give you this: Montana was the greatest QB ever, hands down. Jerry was the greatest WR ever! Now, who says Raider fans are unreasonable? That said, my favorite QB is Stabler. My fav WR is of course, is Touchdown Timmy Brown #81 !! :thumbsup: We're lucky to have two great football AND baseball teams here! If you ever get back to the area, we'll go for a ride down Mines Rd.

Grrrr. :goofy: You should painted the exposed area gold, then you could be a Sporty Winer, oops I mean Forty Niner fan!! Hehe. Poor taste in football aside, I like the look, good job!! I like the look of the 6th gen rear wheel. I'd like to do that, only silver and black! Anybody know off hand if it will bolt to a 4th gen (I know, use the search)? I'd rather have a 180 rear, as it's easier to find tires, too. Should be millions around, since everyone seems to trade to the 8-spoker....

Dave, As long as you're honest about your riding style and weight, the 640 (no remote res.) is probably a great shock, too. You will be sure it's sprung for your weight, and the valving will be set up for the spring rate and your riding style. That may be all we were missing all this time, plus the fact that our shocks were probably sacked out. For all I know, I may not have to mess with the compression settings. If you skip the remote preload, the install should not be that hard. I think the toughest part for me was dealing with the hoses and the damn things hanging from them. With the "practice" I have now, I think it would be a 2-hour job to install the 640. You may still lose a knuckle or two, though. :thumbsup: I think I will end up trying the 640.

Cool, sounds like both of you and Dutchy are liking the shock so far! Sheesh, after reading this thread, I am thinking I'll just get the cheapo shock without the remotes! Then, I'll just take it to Evolution or some place like that and have them help me set it up. I don't take pillions very often if I can avoid it, and rarely any luggage.

Cool! Can't wait to hear a detailed road report!

DANGITYOURUINEDITFOREVERYONE!!!!!! :pissed: :pissed: Just kidding. I think it had the cape on it when it was out here in the Bay Area wasn't it? Man, if anyone's pissed about the cape they'd be REALLY angry if they new what I did to it in the gas station bathroom while no one was looking............ :joystick: ...maybe it was the thought that millions of hands had touched it..... :blink:

NICELY DONE! :thumbsup:

Tell me her name is not Linda!!! :P LOL! No, but my mothers name is Linda, and she, too, has a big mouth!! :goofy:

Wow, that looks like my ex-girlfriends' mouth!

(In reality, it's really for the dads)

Crap. Cowboy up Tokkie! We've all been irresponsible and made mistakes while riding. Some of us get lucky and make it home with the bike. Some of us do not. As others have noted, at least you are ok. Such a bummer to see so much hard work get thrashed!! Just a total bummer. Good luck with whatever bike you get into!!!!

:thumbsup: Can't wait for the ride report!!

Nice work!! :thumbsup: My cat freaks out on the shredder, too!

Luckily, at my nearest stealership, it is a hot 21 year old chick working the counter. She doesn't even pretend to know anything about motorcycles, and yet no one has complained! :D "Uhhhh, I'll take two cans with oil on them please?? OOOOPS, I MEAN to say can I have two cans of oil please??!!"
