Has anybody disassembled a rear shock? Do you need some type of spring compressor to get the spring off or do you just loosen off the preload collar? I'm hoping to do my own spring swap. Thanks

Colorite. I recently had a body shop paint part of the cowling in Colorite 05 blue. The match is excellent! Go to their site - they have a great cross ref for factory colours

I have the Corbin. The seat is very firm but the shape cradles your behind so well , it is actually very comfortable. The front rise on the seat pushes me back more than I like - feels like I am always reaching for the handle bars. Also the perforated leather covering is quite slippery making it...

Welcome to the board Shnizzle! If you're interested in track days, friends of mine have organized at least 14 track days at Shannonville Motorsport Park for next season. Shannonville is just east of Belleville Ontario. PM me and I'll hook you up. I've had my busa at Shannonville 4 times, so far...

Yeah, I love that mitre saw! :rofl: But seriously folks, its a brand new 08 GSXR1000 next to the 05 Busa - only 200 KM. This bike handles like a deam, smooth on/off throttle transition, high and low speed compression damping, stiction reducing coating on forks. Can't wait to get out of the...

My wife is cool so long as she receives an equitable amount of jewelry consistent with my Busa expenditures.

Talk to your insurance company - maybe it could be covered under the house insurance vice the bike insurance. Good luck and tidy your garage.

Here's a few picks from our last track day at Shannonville Motorsports Park - ON, Nelson Track. Its a pretty tight track thats about 1KM long but a has lot of tight turns. May hit 120 MPH in the straights. I also tried out my brand new leathers from Joe Rocket. As you can see from the pictures...

Excellent pics - Cabot Trail is officially on my list. Maybe even this september.

It gets preety dirty in there with chain lube and road grime. Might be time to go in and clean it up, grease the actuator shaft and replace the clutch fluid.

Brand spanking new 82 Kawi GPz1100 w/ digital fuel injection. I swapped the stock seat for the Eddie Lawson replica stepped seat. Fit perfectly and the bike was very comfortable. Eventually put a Kerker 4 into 1 which really improved perfomance! The bike ended up burning a lot of oil - had it...

Just a caution - when I got my galfer lines from cycle brakes, the clutch cup assy bolt(on engine case)had the wrong threads and I bitched my clutch cup assy. Compare the threads of the new bolt with the old one. If the new one is wrong, just use the old bolt to get you going. Cycle brakes sent...

Just get the spring compressor, cartridge bleed tool and fork oil level tool from traxxion dynamics. They will provide you with all the technical info you need. A centre pin style pit bull stand will make the job easier because you can pull the forks off. Sure there will be some outlay of cash...

Where do they all sit when you go riding? One on the back seat, one on the tank facing backwards, one on your... no no I can't say it!
