If your going to order from Sean you can get his muscle jet kit instead of the stage 7. Stage 1 is something not to bother with. The either 99+ or 02+ bikes have a revised o ring, and shouldn't be an issue, you're adding a oil pressure gauge so on the off chance you do manage to push out the...

:cheers: Congrats. My time will be coming soon enough, can't wait.

That would be me, and these guys are right, I have a good condition OE backrest that I had sold on eBay, and my buyer has backed out. I am getting ready to relist, but if your interested I am sure we can work out a deal.

It'll be sold soon enough one way or the other, the demand is clearly pretty high. Looks like it'll be going back to ebay for another chance.

I've had in on here for about 6 weeks before I went to e-bay, I got a few minor nibbles but nothing substantial here. On a 5 day e-bay auction I had it sold for $425 shipped - they have all been getting up into the $400 range lately on e-bay, I have a private sale I'm still trying to work out...

It's really neat for sure. Not my cup of tea, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I wouldn't try it out.

Maybe my post was confusing, I didn't ship it out... just wasted 3-4 weeks of screwing around before I was free of the auction to either re-list or sell it outright.

I got shafted with my recent OE back-rest sale, I sacrificed a local sale because I was locked into ebay, then I had a non-payment issue for 10 days, then another week of opening a non-payment dispute before I could even make a second chance offer, that got turned down. So, I've lost well over...

That's the kind of open headers I thought he was talking about at first too. Open individual head pipes does sound pretty awesome, but as Sean said you take a pretty big hit in performance like that when you ruin the scavenging effects you get with an actual exhaust on there - I've been running...

+1 for the Rotella T 15/40 diesel oil, liking it so far...

Facebooked the one with the hatchet... too funny.

That was an awesome read right there. Good stuff, thank you!

Yea, there definitely isn't three gallon's of gas in the crank-case, Sean's right, it wouldn't be exiting that way. I haven't the slightest idea how you could loose that much fuel in such a short period of time without any evidence of a leak in your garage, not to mention a real strong gassy...

Yea, the Service Honda is like $10k+, totally ludicrous. I think as much as I'd like to get another dirt-bike (been out of that seen for 3-4yrs now) I will probably end up with a sport quad next. My wife will ride quads all day, so that's a big driving factor, and all my buddies ride quads -...

Gotta respect the throttle on a 500cc 2 stroke - easiest way in the world to get way over your head in one big hurry. Lots of fun though - I wouldn't mind a CR500AF, they take the aluminum framed 250 with great suspension and drop the 500 motor in there. Maybe someday. It's amazing how some...

I taught my wife, briefly on a TTR-125L, the big wheeled version, perfectly tame motor, absolutely perfect bike to learn on. She was doing pretty good with the gears, shifting, clutch, little nervous turning, but getting it. Then she was turning one way, and reversed her turn, taking a big...

Winner, right there. Fire-medic - I am with you 100%, I spent years in the dirt before I hit the pavement, and continue to play on both to this day, the dirt riding on 2 wheels pays BIG dividends on the street when the traction runs out. If you've spent any length of time on a dirt bike you...

Serious drug use may be a factor here...

RaWarrior - your VMax/R6/M109R example is pretty good, I like that, and it definitely get's to the hp/tq debate in a real world example. I think you could perfect it some more by converting to a hp/tq per pound example. Areo would be a pretty important factor to put with that, but I'm not sure...

Well, the Dyna3000 arrived Saturday in the mail. My wife is a gear head in training (she did her own brakes last week with some supervision on her car), and wanted to do the work. So, we did an oil change first, and then the Dyna3000 install - only thing I actually did other than supervise was...
