    I'll pay the gas for both of you guys to meet up at Truett & Osborne Bike Drags next year........ maybe do a "carb build-off" as a bonus. Or coleslaw wrestling.

    High speed weave/wobble

    Solid motor mounts, drop the front forks 1-2" in the trees, get a 2nd adjustable swingarm pin if your rear wheel is more than 1/4" out of line with the front.

    Morley's Jets Setup

    like the man said........ you installed the air correctors, but didn't do the lid modification which is THE REASON you need the air correctors. Takes balls to openly admit you didn't install it right, though.....

    Electrical gremlins. HELP!!

    My diode check reads out in ohms....... Electrosport says volts, so I don't know how those values correspond......... and maybe my dyslexia a bit, but some of the verbiage on exactly which connector you are testing at seems a little muddled.

    Electrical gremlins. HELP!!

    I had this same problem 2 months ago..... all charging & ignition components stone stock, except for 6 month old Odyssey batt. Replaced R/R with FH001 (used), bypassed the connectors, hardwired R/R to batt (with an inline 30 amp fuse). Still having intermittent hot start problems, though it...

Otec billet arm will take up to a 200 wide. With an adjustable swingarm pin on the "non-adjustable" side, able to almost center the...

    Yanaha FJR 1300 wheel in V Max 1200.

    Yep, it's bad..... I rode it to the track one day, falls into the turn very fast one way, the other way you have to bulldog it over..... to tell the truth, I'm surprised it goes straight.

    Brake calipers upgrade

    'Busa has 320mm front discs & only 240MM rear..... because you really don't need a larger rear rotor.

    FZ1 rotor and caliper modification

    liked the look of the FZ1 rear caliper when I saw it on Gary Spradley's page, and liked the idea of slightly smaller FZ1 rotor....... except I already had the Otec billet swingarm, and it is all swiss-cheesed underneath....... so, went overslung with a custom mount I had a machinist whip up.
