by "cheapo" do you mean the "tribal" design stickers which came stock with the bike? i would love to see those go...but they arent really stickers. they are more like iron-ons. i bet they wont come off.
just last week i took mine in for its 4000 mile service. when i called ahead to schedule it, i was told the service was "about 320 (us) dollars" i decided on the service because i know they adjust the throttle bodies, and that is something i cannot do on my own.
when i got the bike there, i...
no eliminator for me. i appreciate how a bike looks more with its fender in place, and turnsignals where they should be, operating clearly as designed!
a very graceful compromise is the rear fender on the new r6. with a smooth undertail and this graceful ladder-type support holding the small...
my old school leo vinces- bought new from a local guy who never put them on his bike before he sold it. me so happy! i ordered the cat eliminator pipe separately from leo vince here in richmond, ca. (heh, theres a richmond ca(nada) as well, yes?) baffles are in. and will stay in.

i sent a quote request to the same company, lets see what happens!
welcome to the forum jeff! since you have two bikes which cost the same, minus the cost of getting the suzuki running again, can you post up a photo of your beautiful orignal 550? it would be great to see what such a lovely one owner machine looks like. best of luck, welcome to the forum!
so i installed the leo vince evo2 non conical end exhaust last night, took me close to three hours. but only because an opossum joined me in the garage for a bit. had to relocate him in a peaceful and harmless way.
the install was very straight forward, looking back on it. i did call leo...
all that said, the object of keeping on the chain lube/cleaning is to make the bike operate as it was designed, ease shifting and transmission of power, and of course to extend the life of the chain.
so how much does a new chain cost anyhow? and what is a short life for a new chain, and what...
much obliged, friend. im going to double check mine, and i have a friend i met here on the forum stopping by to use my torque wrench on his. of course, we both got motovation on bonemans good word....
