The blood came from the cheap gloves. My next helmet will be an AGV.

Yes i was wearing gloves, a helmet, agv boots, and a leather jacket. The jacket held up great except when it slipped off my stomach. The gloves were cheapy summer, almost like driving gloves that did not hold up well. The helmet was ICON and held up well, but visor ripped off. Not bad for a 70...

So I was riding along the highway with my buddy when out of nowhere this beige blob runs into my front wheel. The wheel turns full lock one way and then the other way and I lowside. Thank goodness for my protective gear, though my jacket did little for my stomach as I slide feet first. As soon...

When you can get 40 ponies for $20 from <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suzuki-TL1000R-GSXR-750-Hayabusa-Performance-Chip-03_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ107070QQih Z005QQitemZ150231941510QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW" onclick="window.open(this.href,'_blank');return...

Very nice.

Flipped the shift pattern so that up-shifts are now down on the shift lever. The upshifts seem a lot smoother,firmer,more positive, and quicker. I'm still getting used to it...so there are a lot of times when the bike is in 6th when it should be in 1st. This tends to happen at stop signs.

I used to use nothing but moto oil in my bikes, afraid of the clutch slipping. After several thousand miles and oil changes, I have yet to experience one issue with the clutch running Royal Purple. As for the cost of conventional oil versus synthetic, I would much rather spend a few extra bucks...

Been running straight header for a few months now with map. If the bike is set up right you will not be popping or experiencing any other issues. N You get use to the noise even. I put around town keeping it under 4,000 rpm and it's not even that loud. I have been pulled over several times for...

32 was the lowest I have ever gotten. The highest was 50. Average is 34-38 city and 44-48 highway.

Anyone know about how long it takes for these guys to deliver their parts? Might buy a tail from them.

Anyone relocated their oil filter or even tilted it 90 degrees? Posting this in the turbo forums as it seems that a few of the turbo setups have either turbos or dump pipes that would interfere with the stock location of the oil filter.

Try upping the the idle speed for the time being.

I meant I would be using a 99-00 subframe cut short to X-1 like specs. The passenger seat would be eliminated.

With a solo tail, the only mount points would be the Frankenstein bolts and the bolts at the front.
