What is the story behind that? My boss caught a tech bout to put a wrench on 480v DC live one day. The story is he turned off the battery cabinet breaker and thought it was safe to disconnect a battery string. The tools were not insulated and he didn't realize the batteries stay energized even...

I need to replace those dikes. I blow a chunk out of them last year cutting a live 120v wire. The slide flashlight was a gift from my cousin. It's a nice light but I've had it turn on in the tool box and drain the Lithium batteries. I work for a construction company and I work with critical...

Whats up guys. I've been tearing into the bike so figured I'd update this. I ordered some coil on plugs off ebay from a R6. I pulled out the stock coils. I didn't want to chop off the connectors so ordered some and make 4 adapter harnesses with 16 gauge wire. I forgot how much of a pita it is to...

Nice find. The one I ordered set me back almost $30 with shipping. $10 is much better.

Pewag security chain. https://youtu.be/qSnS4ZkTGUY Keep in mind a good chain will only slow a thief down. A torch or saw will make short work of any chain.

That must have hurt

I took the bike out for a long ride after work- 3 hours. Feels pretty solid. I notice the front end feels shaky at highway speeds if it hits a bump or wind pushes the bike. I will adjust the head bearings and order some springs. Overall the bike is a blast. Much more fun than the ZX-14.

If you are not familiar with Colin Furze then check out his Youtube page. This guy defines the word awesome.

I installed superbike bars and bar end mirrors yesterday. Here are pics of bike after being washed.

Here is bike the day I bought it in Miami. It was pouring rain and I had to leave it there overnight. I took the train back Monday and rode the bike back to Boynton up US1. Took a long ride to get the feel back. I've been on ZX-14 for past couple years and it is very different feel.
