Agreed. I usually try to use a neutral location. When that is not possible (someone needs to see "something" at my shop), I wear a .45 side arm. Don't have a bit of trouble. Also, the "something" generally gets dragged or rolled outside and the patron only comes inside if he passes muster...

Use the search feature. You will get lots of topics discussing and detailing the procedure.

If you have a heat gun, I would strongly recommend heating up the rubbers the carbs are seated into until they stink. If they are old and hard they won’t let loose until they’re a little more pliable. Heat helps a lot. A LOT.

Wow. You must be living right. That is pretty amazing. (The cars and the bike).

Uhh…the bike sold.

Spooge hole (return) could be blocked in the new master.

Well that sucks. One last ride, one block from the house, just a quick jaunt down to the store - you never know. Coulda been worse…

Okay, so you guys are forcing me to throw up another gratuitous shot of my 78 GL1000. It was fully Vetterized when I bought it and I put it on a serious diet. Big girls need love too. Been pretty much in this configuration for 8 years. Did go through a dual Weber phase for a while, but went...

Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like a brown wire. I'd just grab a schematic, track down the browns, pull out your trusty DMM and resort to powers of deductive reasoning with regard to terminations in that area.

Vmax wall art. Now there's an idea...

Do the damn bureaucratic paperwork and flip it. Unless you are a masochist and like doing extra work. I am too lazy to part bikes out anymore. Too much time and effort and you end up with all kinds of left over bits. Either way, sounds like the road trip was time well spent. You scored for sure.

BTW, I believe Sean also has the R1 4 pot upgrade available as well. But, if you're going down this path, why not go for the gusto? I recently sold a 90 with the blue dot two pot calipers. Braking was good, but not really noticeably better than with the original single pot units. The Hayabusa...

I'm not sure what Sean is selling his kits for, I got mine second hand from Captain Kyle. I would guess that Sean is somewhere in the $400 range for the kits, but you'd have to contact him for that. Keep in mind you will also need the later Gen1 Vmax rotors (93+) and I would strongly recommend...

The kits that Sean Morley sells include his adapter brackets. You can see it in mine above, the caliper spacing is close but a bit too wide for the lower fork mounting points. It's the bracket with the holes in it. With the Morley kit in hand (plus the later version Vmax discs which are...

I did this conversion this past spring. The Tokico calipers were used on the GEN1 Hayabusa. I also went to braided steel lines at the same time. This is an incredible upgrade. Highly recommended. The shot is just after the install and after I had discovered that cheaping out and not replacing...

Lol. So here while we were all reminiscing and thinking and talking about Janis Joplin, Kyle's on his way to Boones creek. I am not surprised and I am happy for you buddy. Hope it turns out to be a gem. A quick flip is a lot easier than a part out.

...oh yeah, the $1500 Vmax.

Still have my original copy of Cheap Thrills purchased back in the day. (Unfortunately beat to hell and back). I'm not going to lie, it was the "I need a man to love" cut that sold me on it... Not to mention the image on the album cover. Summertime ain't half bad either. Without question...
