  1. ONLY ONE MENTION OF THE BT 021! I'm shocked.

    I loved me Z6s. Two or three years ago it seemed I was one of very few on VFRD that ran them. Now I've been turned on to the BT 021 :491: but only the rear! WARNING-BT021 Front is total crap +1.gif

    Get a PP2 for the front instead, but keep the BT 021 rear. this is very similar to what BR is running only slightly cheaper and somewhat fashion faux pas to have a different manufacturer on each end. They are both dual compound tires and the set up is great.

    Z6s are a great tire for the money but if you can afford just a little more I highly recommend this setup for anyone that has to do some slab with their twisties.

    Or the BR set up with the PP2 front and PR2 on the rear. I was just able to get a good deal on the BT021 rear and I was already in love with it.

    The point is dual compound is the way to go. Someone said that Z6s are dual compound... I'm not too sure about that. at least they weren't two years ago.

  2. Anyone remove the metal heat shield behind the right drivers peg? If so any adverse affects? Might look better without it and it can't provide that much heat protection.

    What about removing the lower chain guide/guard. Also doesn't look like it does much and will look cleaner without it.

    are you talking about the guard on the up pipe? Or attached to the peg? I bought my bike with Micron exhaust already on it and it didn't have the heat sheild on the up pipe. 17k miles later still no problems with that. And I do like the looks of the pipe that way.

    If you're talking about the little wing shaped guard on your footpeg? ... well, ya need that buddy. For the twisties! :fing02:

  3. Maybe I'm a little biased but I think VFRD is the perfect group to produce such a thing. I think we have a serious amount of collective experience in the riding safe and still having fun department.

    My contribution to the list of rules would be:

    1. Don't do anything stupid.

  4. very nice! Thats about what I ought to shoot for but my opener sits so nicely in the clear map pocket next to the mp3 player and has a 1" square button. :thumbsup: So I haven't been motivated to hide it... but I will soon. Gotta switch to a smaller tank bag so that I can shoot the twisties with some actual form. This mod would actually help improve my riding form! Okay I just found my motivation. :idea3:

  5. Met SAFE-T, sPOTO and, I'm sorry Erik, was it stinkbate? Anyway, we all had a good dinner at the RedRock Cafe in SLC tonight and then I got to sit on FrankenViffer and fire it up!

    I hopefully will meet with these guys tomorrow at the AMA races.... if not.... Hey guys nice to meet you! Its so cool to finally meet some other VFR owners/enthusiasts.

    cheers

  6. Nice to have kids who can do the heavy...not to expensive lifting for you there Enzed? Mine are 10 and 14 so still a few years before I get to pick their brains to make my life easier...

    BS! thats the best time to coax creativity out of a child before they are programmed in some packaged way by a highschool or college instructor. I'm a big believer in education but I see too many college students and even high school students just repeating what their favorite teacher says and not really looking at the issue for themselves. Children are the very, very best at thinking outside the box.

    Where can I get one of those scrolling liscense plates?
