I need a longer length of hose, I dropped the rearsets down a bit and need the hose to be longer, that's why I'm on this quest.

Funny, I brought the hose to a local PowerSports dealership (Honda/Yamaha) and showed it to them, the best they could come up with is a piece of hose used in outboard motor applications and I have no idea of it's corrosion resistant, it was stiff and felt more like plastic than rubber. I'll...

It's not much, it only shows a brake reservoir hose halfway on the master cylinder. If you want more pics, let me know what you want a picture of.

I already have the tail off. I just need to get the reservoir hose on and I'm really struggling for a solution because the hose included from Vortex doesn't seem to be the correct inside diameter. I don't think these are V2, I just go them from Revzilla but they have no V2 indication. Yes...

Okay, I'm not having much of a problem with the actaul rearsets, but Vortex includes a length of hose to use to run from the brake reservoir to the master cylinder after you decide where you want your right rearset positioned. I'm having a hell of a time getting that hose installed on the...

Don't listen to anyone telling you to remove your reflectors and rear mud fender (kidding; you can listen to them - its your call, really). You have a very nice bike, you have exactly the same paint job as mine. You will find that people of all ages will want to chat about your bike when you...

I love this thread, I'm glad you guys revived it. I also love the humor and even the bickering between "brothers" - it just means you guys are tight and share similar passions. Most bickering we all remember is likely between you and your siblings; am I right? I still have to find out that...

You guys are too funny. I come here for the knowledge; I stay for the great comments.

I know. It feels weird now. Luckily I think 13013 is wicked cool, he was great to me when I first got here, and ever since. I'll try to honor his request, but no promises. I tend to have a colorful vocabulary so I may let a "Jesus" slip here and there without thinking about it. If it...

Jesus, the things I learn hanging around here...

That's funny. One of my bikes has a big-ass V-Twin mounted directly to the frame. No rubber mounts, nothing. I could use a little vibration dampening for that bike. I don't even get on that thing unless my bladder is totally empty.

Jesus. Frankly I didn't know what they were used for. My cruisers don't have them, so I really never knew what they were all about. Now that I think about it, my kid's CBR500R has them too. Are these bar end weights a sport bike thing? I'm embarrassed to mention how long I've been riding...

Thanks, GIXERHP, I appreciate the info. Even I should be able to handle that.

So I've had my Busa for about seven weeks and I recently noticed the left grip end is missing... like, gone. It just fell right off the bike. The screw holding that thing on must have been loose. I called the dealership and explained my issue with parts falling off a brand new bike and asked...

Uh, thanks TIMMYDUCK, but I wasn't looking for riding tips. I was sharing a story. And there's no need to be sorry, it was TOTALLY WORTH IT. This bike is by far the most fun I've had on two wheels. I expect a few speeding tickets here and there. The great thing about Wisconsin is the...
