I remember a post a while back about someone using wave rotors bought off ebay and having good luck with them. is this the guy who they were bought from or do these rotors look decent...

He will be in our families thought and prayers. Very scary deal that hits close to home, 6yrs ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I wish him the best. Richard

I wish I had the funds right now. I really want to build a cafe racer

Thanks guys, I will reset my rear axle torque. Also I just installed 11.5" progressive 430's, I double checked the mounting with those and they are all tight. I have not checked my swingarm bearings, I will check said items and re-evaluate Richard

I'm running a shinko tour master, diff is full and rear axle is torqued to yamaha spec

I am not sure if this post should be here or in another section but, I am noticing after a hard accel, like after a little stop light to stop light race, the rear end feels loose, almost like the road is slick, but I dont see any leaks and all the obvious items are tight, any ideas? I tried...

to lower it internally all you need is a spacer, equal to the amount you want to lower, between the rebound spring and dampner rod, then just adjust your preload spacer to compensate for any difference and you are ready to go. it sounds intimidating but once you get the parts in your hand and...

I just recently lowered the front end 2" with race tech springs and ricor intiminators, you do have to disassemble the front forks to lower them internally but it is really straight forward, I also got some progressive 430's and a shorter side stand from Sean, I love it, bike handles a ton...

Does anyone know what size the bolts are for the engine covers? I want to replace the black ones with silver or chrome as an accent. Also will I have to replace the gaskets if I just replace the bolts one at a time and dont break the seal? Thanks in advance for any help Richard

Can I adjust the oil level with the forks on the bike or do I need to remove them? I think I will lower to oil level tonight and see how it feels. Right now it feels very stiff and kinda bouncy. what depth do you set you oil level to? if i recall the spec is 4.8", the bike is a 2000 richard

Do lowered forks take less fork oil, I lowered my front end 2" with race tech internals and I put 20 oz of fork oil in each fork, after I was done this above question came to me. Anyone know if forks lowered internally should take less oil? I think maybe tonight I will set the fork level to the...

Last night I finished up installing my race tech springs w/ ricor intiminators and a 2" internal drop, also installed the new 11.5" 430 rear shocks from Sean, also got most of my paint pieces back on, just waiting for the side covers, will pick those up this weekend Richard

I have a question about installing lowering blocks in the front forks. Should I put a washer between the lowering block and the rebound spring? or does the spring just sit right on the lowering block? Thanks Richard

I have the intiminators with stock springs, lowered 1.5" in trees. not long after I did this I ended up with a leaking fork seal. I dont know if it is from lowering the front end in the trees with stock springs or if it was just a coinsidence. But I am lowering the front end 2" internally and...

Ha Elimax, my brother just finished up the paint on my bike, his shop is in tempe. If you want I will talk to him and see if he is up for another vmax paint job. Richard

I ordered the race tech springs this morning. If it doesn't come with enough spacer material to do the lowering then I will buy some pvc, the beautiful thing about pvc is it's cheap. I am also ordering oem seals and dust covers from gary at mondack. I am getting ready in anticipation for the...

I would take you up on that Sean but I just installed the Ricor Intiminators in my forks.

So if I order the race tech spring kit it will come with enough spacer material for top spacers and lowering spacers if I want to lower it? If so I will be ordering some race techs today. Has anyone ever tried race techs fork seals? should I just stick with oem seals? Richard

Oh so I can use the springs at stock height until I can afford some 11.5" 430's from sean, then lower the forks internally? Sweet

The main springs are physically shorter though right? This lady basically told me to lower the front end with race tech would be a custom deal. I think I will call the technical department tomorrow to see if I can find someone with maybe a better working knowledge. thanks
