I didn't know Rich was selling his bike?! Did he get something else?
No he is just taking a break for a while. I bought his bike from him about 2 weeks ago its at another happy new home now. I still cant believe a guy came up started them & test rode them both & said there cool I will take both of them.
 
followed thru with my idea.

Rotor looks good G. Now you gotta do something with that fork brace/fender spacer. Sorry, had to say it!

I like Danny's setup with the new fork brace.

If you go with a USD front end I don't think you need fender spacers, LOL.
 
No usd for me, and I just can't stomach $100 for a frame brace. Its too bad I can't get one made that's solid out of delrin. Maybe ill ask jedi.

What did danny do?

I'm just busting your stones a bit trying to plant some evil seeds for the next mod. I'm bored tonight, stuck in a hotel room. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Seriously though, the bike is looking really good. I know you spend a lot of time on it and it shows. I'm digging the new carrozzeria (my favorite looking vmax wheels) and the detail paint on the rotors.

haha no problem man, its been bugging me too, just would rather spend the $$ elsewhere ya know? i'll talk to steve as maybe he has an idea!

yea the cazz wheels are awesome. i'm really really really regretting i just didn't get a pair years ago, esp the 'blemished' pair morley had. woulda been cheaper in the long run.
 
I like it. Its gonna look slick. Post em when you got em

gonna swap out the pivot cap covers for some red ones and gotta flush the coolant and change out to a clear water pump cover but aside from that i think i dare say shes just about done. both can wait 'til after a ride this weekend i hope!

no more leaks either so far which is good!

Cleaned fuel filter, changed rear diff oil, sync-d vboost, carbs, mixture screws and went for a ride!
 
yea i dont' think it matters to me since i run vboost always open.
 
Exactly, I ensure they open all the way. If not, I adjust the set screw on cable
Junction box.
