OOPs, I ddnt even think of the abs being diffirent, sorry. I will alter the title. It really is a good storage area. It seems to stay realatively dry and clean. I have had the pump there for over a year. I pull everything out every couple months and the pump still works great and nothing has melted even in 100F NC summers. I did have a set of latex gloves stick together but they werent melted or burned. You could also put 2 chickens or a pound of the finer columbian back there. What ever suits your fancy,

Brilliant! Just a reminder boys and girls...make sure anything stored there can take the HEAT... The only problem that I have had with heat was some latex gloves stuck together. I imagine it does get pretty hot there.

Several people have contacted me on how I made my extra storage unit. I thought it easier to just do one how-to. First remove the right cover, opposite side of the battery. 3 clips. Here is the piece I made. I made it from a battery cover from a Honda car. Here is the piece on the bike. The notch on the lower left corner and one zip tie hold it in place very well. I can then put my slime mini compressor. Tire plug kit Assortment of fasteners I put the compressor in first. All in my free extra storage space. I wrap everything up in 3 zip lock bags and ck on it every several months. The items are invisible with covers and seat on. Under the pillion seat I also utilize space to carry break down stuffs and the rest of the compressor parts. I have the power supply and air hose for the compressor. A roll of duct tape. A roll of electrical tape, lot of zip ties There is a bit of space under the sub frame rail and the plastic as well.

I bought a 929 shock yesterday, $41 shipped. I cant find much info on installing it on a vtec. I know it's been done. Can anyone give more info on what is required.

Very cool. I save all of my old parts. I have several of those pre-fabricated. Too bad thats like a $1200 coat hanger. I save most old bike parts. I store them neatly so my gargae doesnt look like a dump. Old parts have saved me several times. A guy I use to work with made a wind chime from an old chain and several old sprockets. It turned out really nice.

I used integra gsr emblems.

I saw on ebay yesterday that Delkevic is also making a stainless set of headers for the 6th gens. I didnt know this. The price seemed to be half of motad. I know nothing about Delkevic.

Great write up. It seems so easy. Good job. As a crafty technician it is in my best intrest and the customers to find easier ways to do things. It is not cheating a customer because a technician is bright. If technicians follow the book on every job we would make about $3 a year. Why disturb the throttle bodies if you dont have to?

Nice vid. I always like your choice in music. :cool:

I agree cti braces are the best. They started in motocross. Be careful with the braces against your tank. I know the braces would tear up my riding pants and the graphics on my MX racer.

I have block off caps at work. They come on all new converters. I can get the exact size for you. Or do you mean what size hex is on the o2 sensor?

Damn, I hate to hear that. What raked out the forks, broke frame, bent forks?

Good read. At least we can limp some where on a flat rear.

Sorry guys. The only plug that fits the hub is a plug from home depot, Lowes doesnt have one to fit the hub. I havent found a single plug that will work for the whole in the wheel.

The nut was completly loose. I didnt know a thing until the rear end felf funny in corners. I stopped and sure enough the wheel was able to walk back and forth, scary stuff. The nut was untouched from the factory, It was notched. The sticker is cheap. It will probably come off in a week. Good thing I have a whp;e roll.I do have at least 4 bags of stickers from my mx career. Tons of stickers. It does look pretty good with a black or red cap. It finishes out the rear somewhat.

I wonder if i'll get razzed for my mod this week? I bought a small cover for the rear axle hub. I have one red and one black. I need to buy another one, as the 2 I have are over 1 year old. . I found them at home depot IIRC. To make it really trick I added a wal mart safety first sticker. I didnt want the wal mart part so I gave the smiley a fro. Sorry to make yall jealous with my super trick mods. :biggrin: :laugh:
