    Another cockpit view RC51 and GSXR reservoir
    RC51 master cylinder with GSXR 1000 Reservoir with hand fabbed bracket to get the thing down and outta my face.(The gixxer res sits lower than the stocker RC51 res and bracket) -- Flat black paint to kill the urine cup look. Nice set up - works very nice.

    I must have missed the previous post on this. So what does it do? Does it assume you have the stock fan blade? Thanks

    While more expensive, I also like the idea of machined triples maintaining the stock geometry.

    Pete, Pics will come when I have the piece finished to my satisfaction. Sending PM regarding 2. Still fooling with that thing? I wondered what happened to ya... Just was curious... MD

    This -- http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Oils/Mobil1_Racing_4T_10W-40.aspx - Something else - dunno if I would use Dex-cool in your bike. md

    What did you give for those? md

    I'm interested to see how your PCV works/goes together on your '98. Keep updating... Thxzz MD

    great thread! :rolleyes: MD

    I would say the pyramid plastics hugger on my 5th gen. It didnt mount up all that straight and hit the tire sometimes. To get a handle on it, I cut about 7 inches off the thing so that the tire coverage is about half. Still does the job of keeping crud off the shock, and doesnt bounce around like it used to. More better funtionally, but not much on esthetics. MD

    I'm glad this thread was re-bumped as I'm sure a good few of us are drooling at the prospect of future fork it swap. I didnt catch the excell spreadsheet last time I read the thread - well now I downloaded it and saved it in my bike tech folder. The sheet deserves a "Holy shit!". Very cool. Hey VFR800R - How's things going for ya? MD

    So how much a difference did it make when you fired it up? - I got a carbon pipe I need to do this with. (Great photos and post.) MD

    I am just a spectator for this but - Very cool! - -- I am amazed by all the technical talent we have on this web site....... MD

    Unscientific guestimate of delinking work - ditch the stock calipers and replace with RC51 calipers, then junking lines and proportioning valve, and going single line to rear caliper; - 4 1/2 pounds unsprung off the front forks/wheel... - 2 pounds -lines and prop valve... Rough stand on scale, with gear without gear etc... MD
  14. mello dude
    Absolutely - suspension. MD
  15. mello dude
    Glad your ok dude. - That's terrible about the bike! MD

    I've been calling "straight" --- the pin and the bar clamp cutout go across the centerline of the the forks - the left pic. Offset to me is the pin and the bar clamp cutout is "offset" or about 75 degrees in relation to each other or the pic on the right. Is that what everbody else has been saying? Anyhoo mines the one on the left. MD

    If you want to go up in viscosity - go up on the the top end like 10w - 50. The first number is about vis at cold temp, the second is about the hot temp. (There is a specific temp each end supposed to be tested, but escapes me for the moment.) MD

    I dont know for sure - but I think you have the wrong part. You could go to the PC website and check. MD
  19. mello dude
    Nice web page MD
  20. mello dude
    Lets keep it rolling - I have a good week and a half off at the end of the month and I'm gonna get outta dodge! I'll go bonkers if I dont. :fing02: MD

    My goal was to keep it as simple as possible so I don't have to think too much, all the camp gear in the duffel. What kind of sleeping bag do you have? And do you use a ground pad? (Ok, I'm a rookie camper) I have a compack Eureka tent, but the sleeping bag and pad take up a bunch of space. MD
  22. mello dude
    I like to see photos of any of your bikes all packed up and ready to go camping. I really havent figured out a good packing scheme for tent/sleeping bag and all the junk. What are your ideas? MD
  23. mello dude
    Well - nice try Veefer! :biggrin: Ok another dumbass question. I have been itching to do a bike - 6th frame and 5th motor, but use the 5th swingarm. Think that would blow up as well? MD
