I've dipped most of my bike, though my forks were rattle can spray paint. Went black as well for the same reasons. Forks will get some rock chip damage, white dip gets dirty quick, as a side note. It's easy, just take your time and prep it well.
Project went on hold, got too busy with shoveling my driveway to work on the subframe, then broke my hand so I was pretty worthless for the last month and a half, got the cast off last week and rode to work - extra subframe is currently chopped in the basement waiting to be sanded and welded...
Are those the stock FZ headers or did you go with a set off of an R6 (S) like Jtarkney used?
Dimensions of the glasspacks?
I've had a janky glasspack hidden under my seat, sounds a bit too much like a riceburner for my taste but I figure if I split it and made them larger it would sound...
My setup is a single can. It's actually hidden for the most part, I tucked it back underneath the seat as much as possible, and aside from the problems I've had melting electronics around my turn signals and license plate, it's been fine.
I agree that seeing one can instead of two would look...
Yeah, Salaried here, and not at the small shop or the high level management either. Lucked into an awesome project that just happens to have a firm release date significantly ahead of what is feasible if you look at the amount of work remaining. But it's software and that's the way things work...
Same deal here guys - haven't been counting my hours, but there have been some 14h/day weeks in the last two months and it really starts to get to you. No time for anything after all of that. Thankfully the project should be coming to an end around the time snow starts melting up here, so riding...
There's an Army regulation/code that dictates the rules regarding appropriate moustache wearing. You're good man! Just make it a boxcar that doesn't extend too wide or low.
We did similar on my buddies XS750, being a triple it is already weird - but the rusted out exhaust needed to be thrown out, and the collector it used was actually built into the pipe. We wound up goign with a 3-1 collector tube, and had do to some heavy modifications (extension in the least...
Hey all.
Work (Software - new product development) has been nuts as of late and with the winter crashing down on us, my bike is locked away. When things calm down I'll be doing some heavy fab/streetfighter work on my tail end, chopping and going single seat, among some other fun things. I...
Anyone else doing movember this year? My Mospace
For those who don't know, Movember is a charity that focuses on raising awareness for and combatting common mens health issues, this year it's expanded from prostate and testicular cancer to also include mental health issues, which I'm glad to...
Hardest part about plastidip is getting it clean, I'd say it's worth it if you'll have the bike apart/partially apart already. So pair it with your spring work.
I'll be working on a custom chopped tail/subframe, single seat, and ??exhaust?? solution to round out the cafefighter look I've been going for. Braided brake lines could also be coming, along with some front suspension work if things go well with the subframe.
Nope I'm wrong. Going to get the .90 - recommended spring is about .87 for my weight.
It's putting you in as .93, you should probably do .95 instead of 1.0kg
If I remember correctly, I think that I was going to get .95 on mine, and I only weigh 175, so I'd say that 1.0 is probably a good bet for you, either way it'll be miles better than the stock suspension.
Thanks for the reminder, I need to get around to ordering the springs.
The team breakdown this weekend was:
My brother - Half owner
His future brother in law - Half owner
Charlie - mechanic with the trailer (brought the car to the track)
Andrew - Best friend, experienced ChumpCar driver, brought his dad with years of pit/racing experience
Compared with them...
