Ok so I took it out for a ride yesterday it seems like it’s working well. The forks are awesome, no need to slow way down in corners anymore due to my Old forks bottoming out every dip or corner. The brakes are decent, I’m thinking they may be a bit spongy so I’m gonna try to add some fluid and...
I am more than happy to invest in new seals, at the moment i would really love to ride since this project has taken me far too long. I just spun the front and back wheel... not great. The front is dragging for sure and the back is only getting 1-1.5 rotations but i'm hoping that it may be...
Hey Scott! Thanks for your reply, I Haven't gotten around to replacing the seals yet but I did pull the pistons out and you were on the money, super stiff. I cleaned the rust off best I could and put them back in. I bled the brakes (hopefully for the last time) and it seems that it is more...
Hey All! It's been a while!
I was just able to finish my R6 fork conversion but one of the 2 of the caliper was not coming off (the bolts were siezed). I literally tried everything, in the end, I even tried drilling a hole straight through them, no dice. I ordered a used caliper from ebay and...
just moved into a new (smaller) place and don't have much room for my extra motorcycle 'goodies'. Make an offer, you pay shipping. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B48N-XOaLe2MZTZGZEtBdlptNlU
Some rashes on the handles, shown in picture
Windshields and rear fender (thingy) should be 10/10...
Thanks for your help! Pushing it free hand with everything loose (the soft setting) I'm getting about 2.25". When I tighten it to the specs in the r6s manuel, I'm getting about 1.75".
Edit: also to note, they are not on the bike yet so that may be why I'm losing about 3" of play?

I checked the Manuel just now, good information on asjusting the dampening, rebound, and such. There was no information on how far it can literally pushed down. It's not on the bike yet so I'm pushing by hand. Im probably just making a bigger deal than it is and should wait to put them on. Or...
There's a screw that i didn't notice at the bottom. I think it deals with rebound. I unscrewed it all the way and it compresses much better. My only concern is im not sure how much it's suppose to compress to begin with. I tried looking it up but couldn't find it. Do you know by chance?

I used 7.5 motul oil when I did the rebuild. The forks are now stiff. I know there are many possibilities but I'm thinking it may be that the oil level is too high. Does anyone have any experience taking out some oil? Did it work/help? Thanks!

Ok so my bike is in the shop and I haven't had a chance to check these solutions but:
the power cable is pretty short and there is a known problem with the power insert into the apparatus so it'll turn off if you don't have it sitting in the sweet spot. I've also run into the problem of it...
Does anyone know which fork oil I should be using? There are a couple of options and I'm just not sure. Any help is appreciated!

My mechanic is in south Florida and I don't want to wait until early August to get it fixed. Also, it's going through insurance so I think they're finding oem parts to cover themselves liability wise. It looks like I'm gonna go forward with the repairs. I'm also doing the r6 fork mod so I'm...
I think the first is the fairing next to the seat and the second I have no clue. Here is the updated bill. (I think the second are the grab rails 5VX-24773-00-P8 HANDLE, SEAT $218.81)

So here's the bill they hit me (will be going through insurance if this is the case) with. That doesn't include the rear footrest, when I called he said he forgot about because I had taken off the bike before hand which is understandable. I feel as though they missed things but I may be...
I don't think they were bent, I looked at the bracket and I think it does look slightly bent but i might just be seeing it because I'm looking for it.
I dropped it off at a shop and they said it would be a couple days til they can get to look at it

Ahh, thank you. I'm hoping the swing arm dent just looks that way because of my crappy picture taking but it probably is dented. How bad would it be if I didn't fix it? Also, I'll check out that bracket during lunch, around noon.
